What do I do in the air realm?
Hint 1 of 17:
Try shooting the cannon.
Hint 2 of 17:
As you might have guessed, your goal has something to do with the tornado.
Hint 3 of 17:
When you first enter this realm, you probably won't have much luck hitting
the tornado -- it's too good at avoiding the red beam the cannon shoots out.
Hint 4 of 17:
But that's only because you haven't set the cannon properly.
Hint 5 of 17:
Have you tried looking down from this screen?
Hint 6 of 17:
Look through the pipe and you'll see some balls on a grid. These balls
control how the cannon shoots.
Hint 7 of 17:
The cannon can shoot up to 9 beams, in a pattern determined by how the balls
are arranged on the squares in the center of the grid.
Hint 8 of 17:
In other words, if there's a ball in one of those nine squares, the cannon
will shoot out a beam in the same place on a 3x3 grid.
Hint 9 of 17:
You actually don't want to hit the tornado itself.
Hint 10 of 17:
All you want to do is trap it.
Hint 11 of 17:
Which means you need to put balls on all of the center 9 squares except the
one in the very middle.
Hint 12 of 17:
You can move the balls with the controls on the sides of the box. Each
control pushes the balls away from the control -- for example, the knobs at
the top slide all of the balls in that column down one square.
