This is a treasure-hunting stage.  The general [[SA2 Hunting Tips|hunting tips]] apply.  The best locations are:

Piece 3: "Three fans" Of course, there are 3 fans to the left in the starting hall. Piece 3 can actually be in front of any one of them, among its other locations, and the middle fan can also house piece 1. But if you want the best time, you'll want the closest fan. Wait for the piece to appear there, then glide left. Because the ground there is an upslope, it's actually possible to jump high enough to reach the piece with a simple jump, but you can also do a quick Spiral Upper and gain height faster. Both ways are roughly equivalent.

Piece 2: "Switch No. 1.5?" Just behind the start, of course, are switches #1 and #2. So naturally, switch #1.5 would be between them. Head back there, and dig into the ground between the two switches for a possible piece.

Piece 1: "Skull pulley" Not much "pulley" about this one. It's on the water wheel just to the left of start. The radar will start out yellow for this piece.

'''Mission 2'''

There are two drastically different ways of doing this mission, which are believed to be almost equivalent in their time potential.  They will be referred to here as the "traditional" route and the "exploit" route, of which the latter is Dreamcast-exclusive.  The current record was set on the exploit route, but there may be room to improve on it with either one.
