Tips

 * When handling phantoms, the player should try to avoid them as much as possible, only attacking/getting into view when absolutely needed. If there are no more traps available, they should try to trap them by leading a phantom into a spot in which it they would be unable to return to their original spot from. For instance, they could get a phantom to chase them into a tree and quickly run around the tree so that the phantom would run against it, preventing them from attacking the player.
 * There are many gem-giving chests scattered around in hidden areas. (6 in all on Easy) The first one comes when the player reaches the entrance of the bunny burrow, before passing the fence. The chest is located downwards into the clump of trees, giving out 50 Gems (on Easy). The second one is located below the bunnies in the river, which awards 200 gems on easy. The next is right near Cookie; it is located into the clump of trees next to her that gives out 400 Gems (on Hard). There is also a chest located down river by the third phantom pipe facing to the right, awarding 100 gems. (on Easy) If you continue following down the river, another chest will appear, rewarding 200 gems. (on Easy) The last chest is blocked by a group of rocks, and can only be accessed to the left side. A phantom is guarding the chest, and the chest will award 200 gems (on Easy) There are 1 to 2 more chests in Hard Mode.
 * Players should play Hard Mode if they desire to obtain clothing items that have not been available in shops for a long period of time.
 * In Normal Mode, a player can earn around 1,450 Gems, and about 1,650 Gems on Hard Mode. These numbers may not be precise.
 * Players earn more courage points if they are with fewer people, assuming they do more of the adventure, and don't just sit back and wait until the end prize.
 * The player should try to trap as many phantoms as they can in a logical order so that they don't have to run unnecessary time-consuming distances for chomper plants.
 * On Hard Mode, the Phantom Keys are placed in different places, including one that is hidden right in a patch of purple flowers right by the cages of trapped bunnies. There are 2 (possibly 3) variations of the Hard Mode version in this map, making it more difficult for players to find the keys.
