I need some help solving the 2nd riddle in Jack in the Beanstock. It is the last part that will get you up where the goose is. I have tried changing the seeds around but it doesn't seem to make a difference. * Also the challenge with Sparks were at the end he has to battle a giant manta ray. I have gotten to the point where he (the manta ray) splits in two and shoots little ones out of their mouths but I bite the dust about that time. One more thing, how do you break those chained boxes with the jewels in them when there isn't a rocket or canon around? Thank for any help you can give me.

On that last part of the riddle, you need to have three mushrooms lined up. You have to go back & trade the flower seed for a mushroom one from one of the earlier riddles.

Sometimes you can break a chained box by using a super-charge power-up nearby. Sometimes you have to find a secret key. If you have trouble w/a specific box, let me know where it is & I will help you.

As for that blasted Manta Ray, just keep trying. Get in a corner & then strafe left & right w/the shoulder buttons, then go to your next corner & continue this way. Try to save up your big guns for him. *
