The third Banandium Gem (Ran the Second Scale!) can be found at the end of the Second Scale area.

Pick up the Boom Rocks from the enemies and throw it towards the moving concrete wall to create a hole leading to the next area. If the concrete wall moves too fast, use Glare to slow it down.

Banandium Gem #8

The eight Banandium Gem (Sink like a Crock) is located at the detour path left of the apple at the end of the Fourth Scale area. Enter the barrel to take you to the puzzle area.

Perform a Charge Jump and Dive Jump towards the gray terrain where the three enemies are to create a hole that leads to shallow water. Create holes large enough so that the three enemies fall into the water to solve the puzzle.

Banandium Gem #9
