Basic Tips

Happy moves significantly faster while rolling, but is a bit harder to control. Try walking if you need to move precisely, and try rolling if you need to get around quickly!
Collect watermelon slices to heal. You can hold up to 4 slices at a time, but don't run out, or else you'll lose a life!
While looking through your binoculars, any nearby walnuts will be highlighted with a sparkle effect. Use this if you're struggling to find the last few walnuts left in a level!
Through Happy's spellbook, you can quickly travel to any of the levels you've unlocked, without having to go back to their entrance portals.
If you hear the croaking of frogs, that means there's one nearby! See if you can find it!
Happy's best friend Merry can be found practicing his magic tricks in several different levels. If you happen to find him, he'll be more than happy (pun intended!) to teach you a new ability.
Happy's Magic Bomb attack can be used to pop balloons, defeat enemies, and break barrels.

Happy doesn't slow down as quickly while in the air. Try jumping often to maintain momentum!
Happy gets a small speed boost after diving. If you begin rolling immediately after he dives, you'll get some extra speed!
You can perform a Ground Pound by beginning a Super Bounce, and then letting go of the roll button before Happy hits the ground.
If you dive immediately after performing a Ground Pound, you'll perform a Super Dive, launching you forward with a huge amount of speed!
Happy's Magic Bomb attack also provides a small boost in height - if you need a little more airtime or a little more height, performing this attack might help!
