Resort Sublayer 800

Step-by-Step Guide
1 Get the bunch of Banandium Gems as your welcome gift in this layer.
2
Talk to the Fractones to reveal your objective for this layer, which is to climb the big watermelon in the center of the Resort Layer. To do this, you'll need to make use of the Liftoff Ore scattered around the area.
3
Use Dive Punch on the yellow fruit block near the Tropical Retreat Outskirts checkpoint to reveal a block of rainbow-colored Liftoff Ore.
4
Tear off a chunk of Liftoff Ore to get to the platforms floating in midair. Have the Ostrich Bananza ready in case you need to glide to reach a platform.
5
Shark monsters can be found on these floating platforms. Hit them to create bridges of Liftoff Ore.
6
You can tear off chunks from the Liftoff Ore bridges to float to even higher platforms. Keep doing this until you reach the Skydive Isle platform.
*
An Architectone is available here on Skydive Isle. If you pay the required amount, you can build a Getaway where you can rest, change clothes, and play music.
▶︎ How to Build Getaways
*
Rope can be found near the base of the platform with Liftoff Ore in this area. Activate it so it's easy to get back up in case you fall down.

There is also a challenge battle you can take on here.
7
Once you're ready, go to the Liftoff Ore platform and use Hand Slap to raise yourself higher.
8
Tear off a chunk of Liftoff Ore to shoot up to the higher platform, Blast-Off Boardwalk. You can try to aim for the shifting platforms if you're struggling to make it all the way to the top.
9 Step onto the Liftoff Ore block, and it will move, snaking along the floating platforms nearby. Try your best to follow along if you don't want to fall.

You can jump off once you're on top of the watermelon or you can keep going and use a chunk of Liftoff Ore to follow the gold, heading to an even higher platform.
10
Use Dive Punch right into the middle of the watermelon, and it'll crack open.
11
Punch your way down deeper into the center of the watermelon until you reach a Void Stake.
12 Destroy the Void Stake to open up the path to next layer.
