Chapter 2 - Neon Revenge

The Legend of the Sandfish

Mio and Zoe find themselves in a desert world filled with shifting sands and a massive, terrifying Sandfish. To survive, they must work together to dodge obstacles and time their dashes perfectly. The highlight of this mission is when they end up riding on the back of the Sandfish in a thrilling escape sequence.

Farmlife

This mission takes a bizarre and humorous turn as Mio and Zoe are transformed into pigs. While at first this seems like a lighthearted adventure, things take a dark turn when they realize their ultimate fate, being turned into sausages. The journey through this farm world is filled with comedic moments but ends on a grim note.

Mountain Hike

Here players must carefully navigate a mountainous landscape while avoiding the colossal footsteps of giants. Finding this side story is tricky, as it requires interacting with a set of portable toilets. Mio must enter one, while Zoe uses her grab skill to toss it at a hanging ladder, revealing the path forward. This mission stands out for its breathtaking verticality and the constant looming danger of being crushed.

Chapter 3 - Hopes of Spring

Train Heist

It isn't exactly about pulling off a robbery, it’s a high-speed chase. The mission brings back side-scrolling action as Mio and Zoe take on The Conductor, a massive orb-like boss determined to stop them. Players must time their movements and attacks carefully to make it through this fast-paced battle.

Gameshow 

Mio and Zoe are at the mercy of a deranged robotic host who turns their survival into a twisted entertainment show. The duo must handle ticking bombs, passing them back and forth within a time limit, all while dealing with fire hazards, electric shocks, and disappearing platforms. The chaotic nature of this side story makes it one of the most intense challenges in the game.

Collapsing Star

In this story, Mio and Zoe come face to face with an apocalyptic event, a dying sun that sends lethal waves of energy through the world. The only way to survive is by seeking cover and coordinating shield use between the two characters. Without teamwork, escaping the sun’s final collapse is impossible.

Chapter 4 - Final Dawn

Kites

High-speed aerial race where Mio and Zoe use tunnels, kites, and wind currents to soar through the skies. Precise aiming is crucial, as missing a boost ring can send them plummeting to their doom. The challenge isn’t just speed but also mastering the tricky flight mechanics.

Moon Market

It shifts the tone to a rescue mission as Mio and Zoe search for lost cats to open the gate. Set in a bustling, magical marketplace, this story encourages players to explore and interact with the world. Potions scattered throughout the market can lead to unexpected effects, adding a layer of fun experimentation.

Notebook 

Here is a stunning hand-drawn world where the game’s narrative literally unfolds as players progress. Mio and Zoe embark on a quest to rescue a prince, but the environment constantly shifts as Zoe rewrites the story. This mechanic makes for a visually dynamic and ever-changing adventure.

Chapter 5 - Rise of the Dragon Realm

Slopes of War

In this side story, Mio and Zoe trade their usual platforming for futuristic snowboarding. This adrenaline-fueled mission lets them pull off wild tricks and compete for the highest score. Fans of classic snowboarding games will feel right at home in this exhilarating downhill race.

Space Escape 

Challenge with zero-gravity puzzles, where conserving oxygen is the key to survival. Mio and Zoe must navigate through floating debris and use grappling hooks to propel themselves forward. Despite the tension, there's no strict time limit, but taking too long will deplete their oxygen reserves, making cooperation essential.

Birthday Cake

This story takes players into a surreal, cartoonish world inspired by Mio’s childhood imagination. The level features bright, playful platforming sequences where players control animated teeth navigating through a sugary landscape. However, the fun turns to chaos when they end up in a dentist’s office, desperately trying to escape.
