Step-by-step walkthrough
Bring Fireboy to the bottom-left lift
Leave Watergirl on the starting shelf. Fireboy steps right onto the lava shelf, then drops around its left end onto the bottom floor. Cross the bottom lava to the left, stop beside the blue lift, and jump up before steering left to land on it.
Raise blue and board green
Guide the white fairy down around the right end of the central goo shelf, then left along the bottom corridor into the blue lamp. Let the blue lift rise. Fireboy moves towards its right edge and jumps right onto the green lift above the goo.
Raise green to the left ledge
Take the fairy back right through the bottom corridor, up around the right end of the goo shelf and left above it. Move it into the green lamp beside the thin vertical wall. Once the green lift has risen fully, Fireboy walks left onto the permanent sloping ledge.
Use the orange lift for Fireboy’s exit
Guide the fairy straight up the left side of the thin wall into the orange lamp. Wait for the orange lift to lower, then jump Fireboy onto it. Move the fairy left away from orange and wait for the lift to rise. Leave Fireboy near its left edge, ready to jump to the upper-left door.
Lift Watergirl from the starting shelf
Take the fairy down the left side of the thin wall, around its bottom end and right into the yellow lamp beside the right-hand wall. Wait for the yellow lift to lower. Watergirl jumps right onto it from the starting shelf.
Cross to the magenta lift
Guide the fairy upward around the top of the right-hand wall and into the magenta lamp. Wait for the yellow lift to rise and the magenta lift to lower. Watergirl moves to the right edge of yellow and jumps right onto magenta.
Reach both matching doors
Watergirl walks right from magenta and drops into the blue pool below. Walk off the pool shelf’s left end into the bottom blue pool, then move right to her blue door. Fireboy jumps left from the orange lift to his red door. Either hero may enter first.
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.
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.
A fairy will not reach its lamp
Guide it through the open corridor instead of dragging through stone. Clear the barrier first and match the lamp color; a white fairy can light any lamp. Keep the fairy in the cup while its connected platform is needed.
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.
