Each course wraps around, so to speak, so you can fly through the stage repeatedly. The aim is to collect 20 blue gems and deposit them, then return to the base before the timer runs out, but after depositing 20 blue gems points are doubled (?), so remaining in the stage racking up points before the time runs out is key to maximising your score. Each item you collect gives you a second or so of grace to collect something else to increase a 'link' - basically a combo - which increases your score multiplier. Some courses have complete link possibilities where skillful players can maintain constant links until the timer runs out or a missed item breaks the chain. It's got bags of charm and the bosses are mostly superb too.

I think. It's not necessary, just stuck in my head as I always used to do it at the start of Splash Garden so I had longer to (try to) keep a complete link going.

There's a guy in the Saturn UK forums who is a WR holder. It's bonkers at that level. He busts 1m in a level that my best is 300K in!!

The glitch is in mare 2:-
