In Diggin' It, there is a secret passage that will take you back to Road to Ruin.
Just like its name suggests, this level takes place in the ruins and its difficulty level is higher.
Additionally, there are many traps here, as well as a demanding Death Route.
Head up the screen and watch out for the brown stone ledges appearing at the beginning of the stage.
Smash the crates and jump off the second mouse on the narrow ledge.
Head right and eliminate all the mice along your way.
To the right, there is the first lizard (the above screenshot).
You should avoid them, or eliminate them with slides.
Jump over onto the ledge on the right, where there is the checkpoint.
Head towards the upper edge of the screen again and avoid the lizard.
Go right, deal with one more lizard and approach the spot with bursting flames.
A bit ahead, there is a pressure plate to the Death Route, shown in screenshot 1.
It will be active only if you have not died, so far.
The Route is difficult.
Start by jumping off the crate with the arrow.
Spin-attack then gorilla that has been throwing the logs.
Additionally, you have to remember here that you cannot stop on the brown poles.
Deflect the logs either in mid-air, or while standing on stable platforms.
Eliminate the gorilla and perform a slide followed by jump to land onto the swaying ledge on the right.
Finally, you have to avoid the flames, but this is easy.
You will soon reach the clear crystal.
If you have not completed the Death Route, go right.
Avoid the flames and the collapsing ledges.
Additionally, you will run into a lizard.
In both cases, you will reach a checkpoint and the violet crystal right next to it.
Hit it for regular destructible crates to appear.
Keep going along the ruins.
You will encounter mice and platforms that may collapse.
Unlock the next checkpoint and approach the upper path.
You have to wait for the flames to disappear to continue.
Just like any other, it will take you to the bonus round.
After you hit four of them, go right and smash the first crate that you encounter.
The remaining 12 crates have been placed on two stable ledges and there are no problems smashing them.
Quickly, follow the monkey and eliminate it with Spin attack.
Jump off the mouse and land on the TNT crates.
Jump over the lizard at the right moment.
At the same time, watch out for the crumbling ledges.
A bit ahead, there is a corridor to the end portal.
At the end of that stage, note the spitting plant on the left shown in screenshot 1.
Approach it and jump towards it.
In mid-air, press Circle to body-slam it.
This will destroy the plant and unlock the secret portal.
After you cross the portal, jump on the poles.
You will reach the bunch of crates shown in the above screenshot.
Do not haste to destroy them, e.g.
with Spin attack, because one of them is a TNT crate and you might cause a premature explosion.
It is best to jump over the crates and co9llect extra lives.
Head on and stop on the small ledge neighboring the four nitroglycerine crates.
Take a long jump here, over the crates.
So, first slide and quickly tap the jump button.
This way, you will land in a safe spot (the above screenshot).
Move down a little and go right.
Stop by the ledge, on which there is a crate with the exclamation mark.
Hitting the crate will unlock the passage.
You now get to the spot where you have started this level the first time around.
