circle around the loop at the beginning for the nightopian helper. Trust me, you will need all the power-ups you can get. yield at the yellow lasers, gather some blue spheres near the crushers, and screw the hoops, unless you need the score. Get as many blue spheres that you feel able to when you circle through the lasers, making a loop here or there, going relatively slow. Circle around the red box, do slow down a bit before heading down the laser shaft, get the spheres between the boxes, circle the big circle for an extra time power-up. Make sure you aim for the spheres whilst circling to the next part of the stage. yield through the red circling laser fan of death, and to be extra sure you don't get hit, try going the opposite direction of the fan as it goes up and down, to be sure you get as much of the blue spheres as possible, and be sure when it starts to go towards you, that you time your lane switches so you pass through the middle of each blade rather than when a blade is about to hit you. After that, go through the whole shebang of getting the emerald, go through the laser circles, and go with caution, but haste, too. after that, rush to the end of that section, MINDING the 3 launchers at the end that will hinder your progress. go down the next laser shaft, this time dodging laser walls, go through the hoops that guide you out of the way of the launchers that await gullible souls, and mind the other 3 launchers, one that launches you back, and 2 behind it that aim at the launcher. Go through the yellow lasers, slow down if you need to, to avoid them. watch out for red laser hoops, there should be one at the top, and one at the bottom, be sure to go through the hoops, without hitting the laser edge, of course. and thankfully, they made the red laser fences at the end easier. make sure you line yourself up in the middle of the dotted hoops, and after the first fence, tap up some, then down some, then up some. and voila~ your 7th emerald! Just be sure to actually go to the goal and not pass over it!
