Float directly up to enter a vortex. When you appear in the new area, head right along the grassy ledge. You'll cause a vine to sprout and you can grab Miracle Fruit. Do so, and then continue right.
As you start down the hill, you'll see a ball on a chain to the right. Use Hypernova to start pulling it left, and backtrack as you continue to do so. The ball will finally click in place and then you can stop pulling at it and wait while it swings right and destroys the weak wall. Through that opening, you'll find a Keychain and you can keep going to find some trees, some enemies and the top of a parsnip. Take care of the enemies first, then stand to the right of the parsnip and suck it out of the ground. It'll fly in an arc and take out a block to the right, creating an opening and allowing you to head through a vortex.
On the other side of that vortex, you'll find a snowman's oversize head. Travel right from there and suck away the fog. Then start pulling the head along with you, by way of your Hypernova ability. As you pull the head, you'll near a switch. You need to get the snowball just to the side of that switch, then pull it as you slowly walk right. Don't move too quickly or you'll get ahead of the ledge as it fills out toward the right, and don't hesitate or the head could fall into the pit below you. When you reach the far right side of the area, the snowman's head will attach itself to a waiting body and you'll be able to snag a 1up doll.
Now as you continue right, there's another large snowman head. You should scout ahead and clear out enemies. As you do, observe the furnace to the right. You're going to have to safely guide the snowman's head across the bridge between blasts of fire. To do that, get into position like you did before, and watch for the geyser of fire to start to the right. Wait a half-second, then start toward it. You're moving slowly, so you should reach it just as it subsides and that will give you the most time to safely cross before the flames return. If you time that properly, you can work to the right and find a second snowman's head waiting. Get on the right side of it and pull face left and use Hypernova. You should pull both heads right up against you, and then you can pull them along together.
Start sucking, and walk backwards over the switch. Move carefully right with the snowman heads coming along with you, careful to not move too quickly or slowly. When you reach the far right, look right and take out a flying enemy, then pull the heads the rest of the way. The head with the mustache will settle on a lower snowman's torso, and the one with lipstick can be pulled further right. Happy, the two snowmen will leap away, then toss you a Sun Stone from a ledge in the foreground. Grab it and then head right through the vortex.
In this new forest area, you'll come across another of the balls hanging from a chain, with a weak wall to the right. Instead of pulling it to the far left, though, pull it only a short distance, then let go. It should crash against the wall to the right and knock it so that it drops over a bed of spikes, providing a makeshift bridge. Now you should head a short distance and you'll find a second of the wrecking balls. This one you want to pull far left, using the bridge to give yourself footing. When it clicks into place, release it and the ball will destroy the next wall. Then you can pass through and drop through an opening to find a lower cave. There, an enemy is waiting in a stump. Suck it out of its home, then pass through and you'll find a hidden vortex, which you should enter.
The next chamber positions you on a ledge as trains roar at you from the background. Wait for the train to pass. Then drop down and you need to suck the left train toward the right, relying on the collapsing blocks (currently positioned over a bed of spikes) to give you a foothold. When you suck down the train, you will knock loose a chest that you can open to obtain the Rare Keychain: Sweet Stuff Drawing. Then you can tend to the train to the right in much the same way (for a medicine capsule) and finally float up and pass through a vortex.
Now you will find yourself looking out toward one of the mobile drills that you can use to cross lava. Hop on it and face left to start sucking at the blades, so that the drill moves toward the right. As you advance, you'll drill through a statue of a head, and then you can hop to a second of the drills. Here, the roof is unstable. Lava waterfalls will appear periodically, so you should wait for one to vanish before you hop onto the drill. Then guide it quickly to the right. Pass through a spinning cross made of fire when you see an opening and then keep going.
You'll come soon to a statue that blocks your way. You can't get through it and move fast enough to avoid a lava waterfall that periodically washes over the area, so focus on drilling the statue little by little, and then rush through the opening once it is available. Just to the right from there, you can then suck the cork out of some transparent tubing and pull enemies from the backdrop to the foreground to consume them. Keep at it until you have pulled a chest to the foreground, which you can open for the stage's second Sun Stone. Then float up and pass through another vortex.
The vortex leads to a shaft. You'll fall down it and find a safe ledge beneath it. Start right along that ledge and you'll soon find yourself facing an oversized bullet that flies through the area. Hypernova lets you deal with it easily enough, so do so and venture further right. You'll reach a large, spinning cannon that launches more explosive shells. Suck one up, then fire it back at the cannon when the red light along its back is exposed. Don't pass through the opening, though. Instead, climb the ladder overhead. Here, there's another of the spinning cannons. When it spots you, it will extend a spiked arm. Quickly descend and let that circle overhead. As it appears, climb back up onto the ledge and be ready to inhale a bullet and then quickly fire it when the cannon exposes its weak point. If you are successful, you'll take out the device and reveal a hidden door.
Enter that doorway to arrive in a puzzle room. To the right, you'll see a Sun Stone encased in some ice. Closer, there's a switch. Pull it to produce a metal bridge. Then head right from there and you'll see another ice block, positioned near a furnace. Stand to the left of the furnace and inhale. You'll pull it left, melting the ice to reveal a truck. Then hop to a small ledge to the upper left. Use Hypernova to pull the truck left so that it falls off the ledge. Drop down and continue pulling it left and the truck will drop into a recess. Now you can pull the furnace left with you, to melt the ice that contains the Sun Stone. Then pull the switch again to drop the furnace into a gap. Pull it once more to close the gap again, and now you can safely snag your prize.
Once you have that Sun Stone, exit through the door to the left. Descend to the point where you destroyed the first spinning cannon a moment ago and pass through that opening. Then proceed to the right along some ledges. More of the oversized bullets launch toward you here, but you can use Hypernova to suck them close to you and then fire them toward the right, eventually destroying the bay from which they launch. Proceed past there to find another vortex.
Enter the vortex and you'll appear in a new corridor. Scarf down some enemies to your right, then face left and use Hypernova to start pulling a large statue with you as you head right. It will drop into a small recess. Stand on the statue's head then and face right. Use Hypernova again to tug a blue star, which will pull down a huge curtain in the background and reveal an oversized cannon. To the right, there will also be a 3D Warpstar. Hop on that and ride it to the backdrop. Standing on the small ledge to the left of the cannon, face the metal monstrosity and use Hypernova one final time. You'll pull the tank apart, piece by piece, along with a goal door. Thankfully, you'll spit that part out and it will rest on the ledge formerly occupied by the tank. Enter the goal door to complete the stage.
