Banandium Gem #1
The first Banandium Gem (Salty Forecast Cleared) can be found at the end of the Rain Turning Salt section of the challenge.
Inhale the dirt terrain and throw it towards the floating shifty stones to create a platform that leads to the next area. Be sure not to stay on the converted shifty stone as it will disappear over time.
Banandium Gem #2
The second Banandium Gem (Smart Suction to Skip the Slip) can be found on the elevated platform east of the first Banandium Gem. Inhale the white block to create a staircase that leads to the top to reach the second Banandium Gem.
Banandium Gem #3
The third Banandium Gem (Glowing Forecast Cleared) can be obtained at the end of the Salty, Light Showers area. To enter the area, inhale the green terrain and hold it over your head. Jump on the zipline to reach the other side.
The area requires you to defeat the enemies by luring them towards the green, lava, and poison terrains. Wait for the enemy to burrow beneath the ground and then turf surf towards the terrain. If done correctly, the enemy will ascend and will have the same terrain type that can be destroyed.
Banandium Gem #4
The fourth Banandium Gem (Smart Suction to Light the Way) can be found on an elevated platform east of third Banandium Gem. Inhale the green terrain and throw it into the barrel.
The green ball should roll down and activate another barrel that leads you directly to the third Banandium Gem.
Banandium Gem #5
The fifth Banandium Gem (Golden Forecast Cleared) can be found at the end of the Salty with a Chance of Gold.
Inhale the green terrain and use it to cross the zipline to the next area. Hit the harps to change the terrain type of the chunks you are holding so you can defeat the enemies.
Banandium Gem #6
The sixth Banandium Gem (Smart Suction to Build a Bridge) can be found on top of a tall platform east of the fifth Banandium Gem.
Pick up the seed and throw it towards the wooden platform to create a tree path. Jump on the wooden platform and inhale a part of the tree path. Throw the tree terrain towards the wooden crockoid to create another tree path.
Cross the path to reach the Banandium Gem at the top of the platform.
Banandium Gem #7
The seventh Banandium Gem (Smart Suction to Guide the Ice) can be found within the Elephant Elder's Throne area. Once you reach the area where you convert the rocks into rainbow terrain, jump down on the rocks and rainbow terrain surrounded by lava.
Destroy the terrain so that the falling pile of cubes will go towards the orange square on the right. Wait for the orange square to fill up with a light blue square so that the seventh Banandium Gem will spawn.
Banandium Gem #8
The eighth and last Banandium Gem (Elephant Elder's Forecast Cleared) can be found at the end of the Elephant Elder's Throne area.
Inhale the falling water at the sides and throw it towards the lava to turn them into rocks. Punch the harp to convert the rocks into rubber. Perform a dive punch on to the rubber to reach the next area.
For the next area, punch the harp to convert the rocks below into rainbow. Inhale the rainbow terrain and put it over your head to fly up and reach the end of the area.
Elephant Elder's Rehearsal Hall Balloon Locations
Balloon 1
The first balloon is found enclosed in concrete terrain in the first area where a laser starts targeting you.
Stick close to the laser’s targeting zone and wait for it to fire a Boom Rock. Before it hits, use the Elephant Bananza’s suction to catch the Boom Rock, making it usable. Then, toss it at the concrete wall where the balloon is sealed inside to break it open.
Balloon 2
The second balloon appears in Rain Turning to Salt.
In the final section of the challenge, you’ll see the balloon hovering above a raised platform. Use your suction to grab a chunk of Fractone Terrain. Place it to create a makeshift platform so you can climb up and reach the balloon.
Balloon 3
The third balloon is located in the Salty, Light Showers
After riding the zipline, look to your left. You’ll spot the balloon floating out of reach. Lure the nearby worm enemy toward the balloon’s location. When it rises and forms a platform, defeat it and use the leftover platform to jump up and grab the balloon.
Balloon 4
You’ll find the fourth balloon in the Salty, With A Chance of Gold Showers
Once you defeat all the enemies on the second platform, a door will open and reveal the balloon floating above. Look for a nearby rubber terrain, toss it onto the morphing terrain, then bounce on it to reach the balloon with ease.
Balloon 5
The final balloon is located in the Elephant Elder's Throne challenge course.
Right at the start, you’ll spot the balloon above a platform on your right, guarded by a lava wall. First, use suction to collect water terrain from the nearby waterfall near the exit. Throw it at the top of the lava wall to solidify it.
Then, go to the Switch Harp and toss a rubber chunk to replace part of the lava wall with rubber terrain. Use the rubber to bounce up and reach the balloon.
