The snowy peaks of the Himalayan mountains should be your next destination. From the start, head toward the right and watch for the puffs of snow with rabbit ears extended. When they reach barriers or the edges of platforms, the rabbits burst upward, so have your pogo stick aimed downward whenever you leap one if it's in such a location.
Right from the first rabbit, you'll find a rabbit scouting another ledge. Take out that fellow, and you'll likely cause a treasure box to appear in the air. This one contains a large diamond. Bounce left from it to reveal a large red diamond in the air that is worth $50,000. Proceed right to where a new treasure box is situated at the edge of a ledge. It contains another of the diamonds.
Beyond that is a rabbit on patrol, so defeat it and keep moving. There are two more rabbits here, one on a higher ledge. When you reach that point, the area's goats will start rampaging toward you. These fellows are harder to avoid than the rabbits, and there seems to be an endless stream of them. They all seem to think highly of ramming you and damaging your life meter, so keep moving forward to minimize the time the animals will be able to put you at risk.
Around three ledges inward, hug against the snow as you drop down a slight bit, and you'll reveal a hidden red diamond worth $50,000. Keep moving just right from there to find a rope that leads down into a pit. You don't want to take that rope, however. Instead, continue right past more rabbits and goats. You'll find two treasure boxes along the way, each of which contains a large diamond. Beyond the second chest is a low dip between you and a treasure chest. Don't drop in the dip just yet; it's a hidden pit. Instead, hop over it and collect the ice cream cone from the treasure chest to the right.
Now go ahead and drop into the recess. You'll fall down a shaft to a hidden room, where icicles line the ceiling to your left. Drop to that left side to grab a hidden 1-up icon, then leap over the right to collect the contents from those chests. They contain a large diamond, and also a large red diamond. With that done, climb down the rope into the next room.
Here, you'll see Launchpad again. However, you're not ready to accept the lift back to Duckburg just yet. Instead, head left along the platform, past the spider. You'll find a wide, bottomless pit, with snow-covered blocks that allow you to cross (a large diamond is hidden in the air above one of these). A spider will drop from the ceiling between the last two of these, so wait for it to drop before attempting your final few jumps.
You're now on an icy ledge, so continue left along it until you reach the gap. Drop down that gap for now, though you'll be coming by this way again in a moment. When you land from that fall, it's time to head left. You'll see columns of snow-covered blocks here, with blocks of ice at their base. Pogo off the ice blocks to cross each such barrier.
There's an invincibility medallion at the base of one of these, but don't be fooled into rushing ahead. A pit lies just ahead, with a spider over it. Wait for the spider to recede before jumping. Even while invincible, the spider will knock you into the pit if you connect, so avoidance is key.
Past the spider is a treasure chest resting on a snowy column. That chest contains a large diamond. Continue left and leap over the pit, then over the icy column, to where you're red-dressed nephew awaits. He lets you know that Bubba is trapped in a block of ice ahead.
Jump left from where your nephew waits and you'll activate another invincibility medallion. With this in effect, quickly hop left across a series of blocks over a bottomless pit. Icicles fall in this area, but they can't hurt you and won't knock you into the pits so long as Scrooge continues flashing (though there's a treasure chest here, just ignore it for now so that you can safely reach the opposite side of the room while invulnerable). You'll have to pogo up to reach the last set of blocks over the pit, and take a long leap from there to the snowy ledge that rest just beneath the ice block that encases Bubba.
Hit the block beneath him with your cane, and it will slide left to a wall. Bounce from that block up to Bubba's block of ice and pogo it from above. The happy caveman will break free and reveal a tiny recess with a treasure chest that contains a life extension for Scrooge. Now you can cross back to the right over the icy blocks again, collecting the treasure chest you missed on your first pass. It contains a large, red diamond worth $50,000. Some of the jumps you'll have to make here are too long for normal Scrooge, so pogo if a block is too high for you to reach.
When you get back to where you first dropped down into this area, it's now time to continue to the right. You'll have to pass along a slick ledge under a spider, so be careful it doesn't knock you into a pit as you make that jump. On the second snow-covered platform over the bottomless pit you find here, pogo off the two blocks to grab a large diamond, and another of the large red ones. There are rabbits in this area, too.
Keep moving and you'll come right to a vine that leads up to the room where Launchpad waits. You're still not ready for his ride just yet, though it won't be long before you are. Head left from where he stands, past the spider and to the next icy ledge. This time, instead of falling down the next pit, leap over it to the next ice ledge.
As you walk left from here, watch for a hole in the ceiling. When you see it, pogo up and head left. You're walking on the ceiling now. When you can walk left no further, press 'up' to climb up a hidden vine into a hidden treasure room. When you arrive, head left and pogo off that ice block to reach a hidden 1-up icon. Then head right. There's a wall of ice blocks. If you jump into the air and press the 'B' and 'down' buttons at just the right moment, you can pogo off the soft surface and over this wall. Otherwise, you can jump into the air and swing your cain at the higher blocks to send them sliding. Beyond the wall, you'll find two rabbits and three large diamonds hidden in the air over them, as well as two treasure boxes. The lower box contains a large red diamond, while the upper one holds an invincibility medallion. With that grabbed, go ahead and move back to the right toward where Launchpad waits. When you're score is appropriate, accept the ride back to Duckburg, with a trip to the bonus stage along the way.
When that's done, go back into the stage and follow the same actions as before (though you can't collect another life extension, as Bubba won't be there a second time). Once you're back to the point where previously you caught a ride back to Duckburg from Launchpad, head left past where you climbed the roof into the hidden treasure room. Instead of doing that, head left beneath the spider, to a long ledge where you'll soon see a stack of four red blocks. Pogo over those and proceed left. You'll find a series of hockey-playing ducks. They will race toward you, but you can swipe ice blocks to take out the first two of these ducks. Pogo the third.
Past the hockey players, there's another bottomless pit with snow-covered ledges that will allow you to access a vine. Instead of climbing immediately up the vine, hop to the lower ledge, and from there make a series of jumps over snow-covered ledges under two spiders. When you arrive at the left, you'll find two treasure boxes, one containing a cake, the other a large diamond. Now hop back right and this time climb the vine up into the next room.
As soon as you enter, keep climbing and be ready to drop off the vine to the left, into a small recess, as a ball falls from overhead. Once the ball passes, climb up into the next screen.
There, you'll see a Beagle Boy patrolling the ledge to your upper left. Wait for him to head back toward the wall, then pogo off his head and up to the wall to the left. There's a barrier there, but you can swing your cane a few times to knock the hidden blocks away. Follow the path left and find a treasure chest that contains a large, red diamond worth $50,000.
Now go back to the right, past where you defeated the Beagle Boy, and look right. There's a wall of ice, near which another large diamond is nestled. Past the ice is another large, bottomless pit. You'll see a yellow-colored block resting in the air, and it will start gliding to the right when you hop on it.
Ride the block right, being ready to jump over the blocks along the way, which otherwise will knock you from your precarious perch (note also that the block moves quite a bit more quickly than you might expect). When you reach the other side, you can pass through a narrow opening to the stage's boss encounter.
Abominable Snowman
Some ducks think it's a legend, but the Abominable Snowman is very real to Scrooge. When you enter, it will begin its attack by leaping toward you. It jumps about halfway across the screen with one hop, and you can pogo the top of its head if you work quickly.
From that first jump, it will soon jump left again, then punch the wall. This causes a series of snowballs to descend on the arena, so you'll want to move to avoid them. From there, the monster will just repeat the pattern, hopping back and forth, giving you plenty of opportunities to avoid snowballs and the beast himself. You shouldn't have much trouble getting in enough hits to finish him off.
Your reward is a crown worth a cool million dollars.
