The Mines is the second level of The Canyons. It is desert-themed like the rest of the Canyons. You have to make your way through the mines to chase down Sheriff Zapata, who has previously imprisoned Uncle Jalapeno.
Walkthrough[]
The level opens with a brief minecart ride down a cliff, where you are briefed by Uncle Jalapeno before trekking down into the mines. You'll come across a few Aztec Spikies and some grabbable spinners, which eventually leads down further into the mines, with new obstacles in your way.
Minecarts[]
Several times throughout the level you will encounter minecarts, many of which require you to account for oncoming obstacles in the speeding cart's path. These include precarious jumps, minecart-to-minecart transitions, and an excessive amount of fire hazards.
Spinners[]
Later, this level becomes very difficult. When you reach the spinning wheels, this level is almost completely impossible. Surprisingly it is actually very easy, all you have to do is grab onto the spinners using R1 and see where the next spinner is. The easiest thing to do is to jump on top and only grab on to regain balance. On the last green spinner when you first encounter them, do NOT grab it. Just remember to also not fall without knowing what's below. That's pretty much it. Nearing the end there are also two Rusted Metal spinners. You can't grab these, but you can skip the left one as it only has score bubbles. Just fall past it onto the red spinner. Do not grab it to long, but just long enough for the prize bubble and level key. Fall down after grabbing those (if you ungrab too late, the fire may still push you down) and land hastily on another metal spinner. Careful jumping off because there are Aztec Spikeys there, but there is a small safe spot. Kill the spikeys, all three of them, and continue to the boulder.
Rolling Boulder[]
Before the end of the level, you are chased by a giant fireball. All you have to do is run quickly and jump over obstacles that are on Fire. The fire pits get smaller nearing the end, and vary between big and small sizes. Do not overshoot the small pits, or you might get singed by the next small one and burned by the next big one. After going down from the boulder ledge, go left from Jalapeno and there is a small hole in the wall with a Green Gecko Sticker (used in Serpent Shrine). After this, you will reach the Scoreboard.
