Step-by-step walkthrough
Open the yellow passage
Select the heavy friend and move him right onto the yellow plate. Keep him there while both heroes leave the starting shelf and pass the lowered yellow gate. Bring him right to the tall step afterwards.
Boost Fireboy onto green
Fireboy jumps onto the heavy friend’s head, then jumps upwards before steering right onto the high shelf. Collect the red diamond and hold the green plate. Watergirl and the companion can now pass the next gate and continue right.
Reach Watergirl’s high diamond
Leave the companion beside the tall step on the far right. Watergirl collects her diamond along the lower path, jumps onto his head and uses a second jump to reach the high right-hand shelf and its blue diamond.
Open the purple return
Fireboy leaves green and walks right through his safe red pool for its diamond. Jump to the right ledge, drop left onto the middle red-diamond shelf, then continue down into the bottom red pool. Return left and jump onto the dry floor by the purple lever. Touch the handle to lower the return platform.
Bring everyone to the balance
Move the companion left through the blue pool and jump left down to the bottom floor. Watergirl descends the right side, crosses her blue pool and jumps left onto the dry lower floor for the next blue diamond. Watergirl jumps left onto the balance while Fireboy waits by the purple lever and the companion stays on the lower floor to her right.
Collect the two left gems
Watergirl walks left off the balance and follows the bottom floor to the last blue diamond. Return right and jump back onto the beam. Move the heavy friend left and jump him onto its right end, then bring Fireboy onto the beam and walk him left for the remaining red diamond. He drops safely onto the lower floor. Move Watergirl onto the raised left tip.
Lower Watergirl’s takeoff
The high tip is too close to the ceiling for a useful jump. Move the heavy friend left towards the pivot. As the left tip descends and the beam becomes almost level, jump left with Watergirl and keep moving left over the short wall around the exit shelf. She can enter her door or wait just to its left for Fireboy.
Help Fireboy back onto the beam
Move the companion farther left of the pivot to lower that end. Fireboy walks farther left on the bottom floor, then makes a rightward jump onto the lowered beam. Bring the companion back towards the right end to raise Fireboy, and move Fireboy onto the left tip.
Repeat the exit handoff
Move the heavy friend towards the pivot again. Fireboy jumps left as the descending beam becomes almost level, clears the exit wall and walks into his door. If Watergirl waited beside her door, bring her in now. Either hero can enter their door first; Watergirl crosses to the exit shelf first in this route.

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.
