Bonus Level
If you collect everything throughout the game, you will be able to access the special Bonus Level! After you've unlocked the level, just head to the cave near the waterfall in Rainbow Cliffs and enter the portal.
Most folks don't even believe in the Bunyips, those weird creatures that are said to be half beast, half spirit. But if you say you saw one, TY, that's good enough for me.

Set up the game the way you want before you set out on your big adventure. You'll be splashing through the billabong and 'rangin' frills in no time!

BOSS CASS
If there's a meaner cassowary in all of Australia, I don't want to meet him. Not only has Boss Cass banished the other Tasmanian Tigers to the Dreamtime realm and locked up the Bilbies in cages, he's also trying to ruin the very land itself through pollution and destruction. You've got to stop him, TY!
JULIUS
Strange as this chap is, I'm glad he's on our side. Julius is the most eccentric Koala I've ever met, but he's dinky-di with the machines. Just wait until you get a hold of one of his custom-made techno-rangs and you'll see what I mean.
PLAYING THE GAME
You're a brave tiger, TY, but I don't blame you if you feel a bit nervous about the task before you. I know I would if I were in your place! That Boss Cass is a nasty bloke, and the very land itself is fraught with danger. You've a lot of terrain to cover and a lot of baddies to face, but I have faith in you, young 'un. You'll come through in the end, I'd wager.
But first thing's first. When you start off you find yourself at Rainbow Cliffs. Behind you is the rocky outcrop where you'll put the Talismans once you collect them. In front of you is the path to Bli Bli Station. Head down that way and we can meet Julius the Koala. He can open the portal to the Two Up level and you'll be on your way.
GAME SCREEN
There you are, mate! Orient yourself with your surroundings so you don't get all discombobulated when you're out on walkabout.
•
When an exclamation mark appears, press the Action Button (▲ Button).
COLLECTIBLE OBJECTS
There's a lot going on about you, and it's easy to get distracted. Stay focused and keep your eyes peeled for these objects.
In Two Up, some of the collectible items are impossible to reach until you've found your second boomerang.
If you collect everything in the game, then something good might happen.
TALISMANS
Long ago your family knocked the five mystic Talismans out of Boss Cass' hands just as he was sending them off to the Dreamtime. This caused an explosion that scattered the Talismans across the land.
Now you're in a mad race against Boss Cass to get them back. Collect all five of them and bring them back to Rainbow Cliffs, and your Tasmanian Tiger family will be free to populate the world once more.
THUNDER EGGS
These volcanic beauties are the key to powering Julius' Talisman Machine. This machine locates and teleports the missing Talismans back to Rainbow Cliffs. Bonza! But you'll need at least 17 Thunder Eggs to get it to work.
You can either find or earn Thunder Eggs by completing tasks or solving puzzles, or by successfully completing Time Attacks.
•
Collect five Thunder Eggs on a level to open a portal to the next level.
AIR SUPPLY
When you're swimming under water, the health meter turns into an air supply meter. Swim to the surface for some air before it runs out or you'll be sleeping with the fishes!
