Walk through the chilly path to be interrupted by a cut scene featuring our little Prince Tricky captured from the SharpClaws. A ship overhead releases Tricky down to the ground only to be captured by more SharpClaws. The SharpClaws antagonize poor Tricky and he tries to escape through a door close by him. The SharpClaws chase after. Turn left and run up the small snowy incline to find a bomb barrel. Take the barrel and continue head down the path. You will find a barricade of boxes blocking a path with SharpClaws inside. Throw the barrel on the barricades to blow open the path. Defeat the two SharpClaws inside to have a sun tile appear over the door where Tricky ran through. Head back to the door and shoot the sun tile with your staff.
Walk in the door to find Tricky and the two SharpClaws.
Fox: “Hey scaleface, pick on someone your own size! I am Fox McCloud lead pilot of the Star Fox team. I’ve come to take the price back to his… home. Hey wait!”
Tricky sneaks out trying to run away. The SharpClaws jumps on snowmobiles and chases after Tricky. Jump onto a snowmobile and chase after them.
It is best to just hold down A (the accelerate button) the whole time as the SharpClaws are pretty fast. Your job is to win the race to the end of the track. Do not worry about running into them and destroying their vehicles, you will only be wasting time. Try and cut corners and find shortcuts that can help put you in the lead. Avoid their mines at all costs; they can seriously slow you down. If you lose the race, you will stop abruptly at the end and fall on your vehicle, letting the SharpClaws capture you. When you successfully beat the race, you will fall into a chilly lake and find Tricky on the edge.
Tricky talks to you in his native tongue, confusing Fox yet again. Fox transmits his voice and finally gets the translator working.
Tricky: “(dino talk)…hot spring or you’d be frozen by now haha.”
Fox: “Why you little…”
Tricky: “Hey I wouldn’t if I were you. My dad’s a King EarthWalker and he’ll bash you up.”
Fox: “I don’t think he’ll be doing any bashing. He’s been captured. That’s why I’ve been sent to rescue you.
Tricky: “He’s been captured?”
Fox: “That’s right. It was your mother that sent me to find you.”
Tricky: “Is she… OK?”
Fox: “She’ll be just fine. But we need to get you home.”
Head forth across the snowy path until you come across a bridge with lava at the bottom. Scale on the wall to your right to find Blue Grubtubs. These are Thorntails favorite food. Stun one with your staff and pick it up. Feed them to Tricky to have him find secrets for you. Head to the right to find a small earth patch on the ground. With Tricky fed, order him to find secret in your c stick analog menu. He will uncover a switch that will open the gate ahead. Order him to stay on the switch so you can run in the gate. Head over inside the gate and press A next to the switch. Fox will unlock the switch with his staff and a platform will rise in the lava so you can cross the bridge.
Climb down the wall on the bridge and jump the platform. Climb up the wall on the other side and head down the path. You will find a small crumble in the snow. Order Tricky to find secret. He will uncover a small passage in the snow. Crawl through. You will enter a new area called SnowHorn Wastes.
SnowHorn Wastes
Fight off the two SharpClaws that you encounter and continue down the path. If you want you can explore a little to find some scarabs and health. Head down the path and you will soon encounter a large lizard like dinosaur popping out of the ground. Defeat it and continue down the path. Continue down to find a frozen lake with a mammoth and three more SharpClaws. Defeat the SharpClaws that are chasing Tricky and a cut scene will play.
Fox: “Tricky are you crazy? Just leave the SharpClaws to me.”
Tricky: “OK, OK I’m sorry. Hey Fox, if ever you need me to come back, you just use my HEEL command. And I’ll be with you, OK?
Close by you will find another secret earth patch on the ground. Have Tricky use his find command. He will uncover an Alpine Root. To the left of the entrance of the area is another secret earth patch. Have Tricky uncover a second Alpine root. Head to the left side of the area and look for a fallen tree. At the base is a secret earth patch. Have Tricky uncover a secret cave and walk down through it. Head down the slope and into the room to find a golden circle in the center. Step on it and press A. Your staff has now been upgraded to hold more magic energy. Walk out of the room and stand under the light to return to the surface.
With your Alpine Root in hand, run over to the mammoth and talk to him. He comments that he’s too hungry to talk to strangers. Highlight an Alpine Root and use it on the mammoth. He delighting takes the root and eats it. In return, he gives you a small scarab bad designed to hold 50 scarabs. Give him the second Alpine Root. He will then jump and cause the geyser to stop flowing, allowing the ice block to fall to the surface. Head over to the ice block and push it by where the secret cave was uncovered. Push it by the alcove and jump the on the block. Jump again on the ledge and collect the two fuel cells. Fuel cells are used to power your arwing to travel to the other parts on Dinosaur Planet. Push the ice block on the other side of the area and jump on the ledge to continue the path.
Walk down the snowy hill and you will find a fork in the road. Walk through the middle path and kill the lizard dino that pops out of the ground. Walk forward a bit more and activate the switch on the wall to raise a platform in the water. Head back to the fork and take the right passage. At the bottom of the hill are SnowHorn mammoths and a secret earth patch. Have tricky uncover the patch to find a BafomDad. These can be used later. Search around the area and collect some scarabs. Search under boulders and attack barrels. You will need 25 scarabs. Head down the path to find a purple SharpClaw like guard. Pay him 25 scarabs to pass through.
Walk through the tunnel ignoring the fire bats. Navigate your way through busting pots to collect scarabs and health. You will eventually reach an area with water flowing. Jump in the water and float to the left and around the corner. Continue flowing down until you come to land again. Travel down the passage until you find a closed gate. Unlock the gate with your staff and head through.
