FAQ
How many Smiley Flowers are in Chapter 2: Mountaintops?
This chapter is structured around 26 Smiley Flowers across Taggit, Milde, Peckadee, Floofly, Plumebrella and Thudd.
Why do some images say screenshot needed?
The written route is in place, but the exact matching location screenshots still need to be captured so every Flower card shows the correct spot.
Should I clear Mountaintops in this order?
Yes. Follow the level blocks from top to bottom, then return to individual cards if you skipped a creature interaction or hidden route.
