This one is forpopping every balloon, so let’s take you through it step by step.The first balloon is at the bottom of the wheel. When you climb on, you’ll pop it right at the start. Thesecond balloon is up the wheel’s wall on the right. You can climb this far with no issues, so again, it’s an easy one to pick up.
After that, things can get tricky, but they all rely on the same strategy. First,punch a hole in the wheel, andstand inside the gap. Here, you canride it around to the top, crawling out onto the outside when you start to lose balance. At the top,pop the third balloon, thenpunch back downthrough the floor toreach the fourth.
