Easter Egg Guide
This page will guide you through the Easter Egg for Merry Mountain. This will of course contain spoilers for the story mode.

If you are playing Story Mode with a time-limit, you will have 1 hour and 20 minutes to complete the easter egg before the game ends, and if you are playing on Hard diifficulty, you will have just 1 hour to complete it. The final step of the easter egg will pause the timer.


STEP 1 - COLLECT 50 PRESENTS
58 presents will spawn around the map in cages, however you only need 50 of these presents. You collect presents by unlocking the cages around the map, here are the locations:
- Location 1 - Just in front of the first door on the path.
- Location 2 - On the raised area in the spawn area, right next to the cable cars.
- Location 3 - Just before the entrance to the raised area, near the spawn area.
- Location 4 - Underneath the Christmas Tree.
- Location 5 - On the ice rink.
- Location 6 - On the top floor of the blue stairs of death.
- Location 7 - In the shops area.
- Location 8 - On the pathway between the shops area and the curved bridge towards the spiral slope.
- Location 9 - To the left of the train station.
- Location 10 - On the yellow scaffolding.
- Location 11 - At the entrance of the pack a punch cave.
- Location 12 - Towards the top of the spiral slope.
- Location 13 - On the upper cliff, just below the top of Merry Mountain.

The amount of presents in each cage are randomised each game, so make sure to check how many presents are in each cage before opening it. Location 1 will always have 3 presents in every game. Either Location 2, 3, or 4 will always have 0 presents in every game.

After completing this step, go to the top of Merry Mountain to begin step 2.


STEP 2 - RESCUE THE 3 CREW MEMBERS
Mario, Peach and Bowser will now all be trapped in a cage, and you have to find them. They cannot spawn in a cage that still has presents inside, or a cage that has a player inside. You free them by starting the cage unlock process, just like with collecting presents or freeing a player. Upon releasing a crew member, regular enemies will stop spawning and new enemy types will spawn.

When freeing Mario, Mario Frostie Clones will spawn. They are extremely fast, but have very little health and do little damage.

When freeing Peach, Peach Frostie Clones will spawn. They are a bit slower than the regular Frostie Clones, but are a bit stronger in terms of health, and their attacks are a little weaker. They can also teleport a short distance in front of them.

When freeing Bowser, Bowser Frostie Clones will spawn. They are extremely slow, but they have a lot of health and will insta-kill you if they touch you.

After completing this step, go to the top of Merry Mountain to begin the final step.


FINAL STEP - BANISH THE FROSTIE CLONES
Nabbit will now place down the crystal and you will be locked at the top of Merry Mountain for approximately 2 minutes. To complete this step, you simply have to survive until all the Frostie Clones have been eliminated.

If you fall off, you will go down and respawn at the top of Merry Mountain, however if you have Death Perception you will respawn without going down.

If you bleedout, you will be eliminated from the game and respawn out of bounds where you can spectate the other players. If a player is failed to be released from a cage when the final step is triggered, they will automatically be eliminated.
