Step-by-step walkthrough
Use the purple shortcut
Either hero may go first. Approach the purple crystal in the middle of the bottom corridor: Fireboy comes from the right and Watergirl from the left. Cross it to reach the upper opening.
Turn toward the matching exit
Fireboy needs the right upper shelf; Watergirl needs the left one. Turn and jump toward that shelf just after arriving. The verified route briefly returns through the pair while turning: reverse across the lower crystal again, then steer toward your matching door as you reappear above. Stay beside the crystal while changing direction.
Bring the other hero through
Leave the first hero at the matching door. Repeat the same approach and turn with the other hero, then enter the remaining upper door. There are no diamonds to find in this original room.
Optional: try the side mechanisms
For the longer side route, leave the upper exits before finishing. Drop onto the lever shelves below: Fireboy touches the pale-blue lever on the right and Watergirl touches the orange lever on the left. Each powers the opposite fan. Descend to the middle shelves, enter the fan on your own side, and ride upward to the outer wall. Cross its top and drop to the ledge outside it, then walk inward along that lower ledge to the timed plate. Each plate moves the lower platform on the opposite side; it remains powered for eight seconds after you step off. These contacts and resets are checked separately from the shortcut completion.
This route was verified in the game simulation using player controls, required diamonds, and both matching exits. It describes this version’s independently reconstructed room, not an official walkthrough.

If you get stuck
Check the unfinished objective
The diamonds in this room are optional. If you only want to finish, bring both heroes fully inside their own matching doors.
A gate or platform moved back
A pressure plate releases when its rider or weight leaves. Keep your partner on it until you are safely across. Levers stay set after you leave; check their ON or OFF state before crossing.
You missed a moving platform
Return to safe ground and use the connected switch to bring it back. Board before your partner releases the plate or changes the lever. Avoid jumping into its underside; line up with the open shaft first.
You cannot recover safely
Pause and choose Restart level to reset both heroes, diamonds, weights, and switches. Previously completed levels stay saved. Follow the step order before moving a box or releasing a weight.
