Kao The Kangaroo: The Icy Slopes Walkthrough
While The Icy Slopes do not feature the only chase segment in Kao The Kangaroo, this is the only stage that is almost exclusively composed of chase segments. And there is a shocking amount of variety here! You will be sliding down slopes, avoiding icicles, dodging giant snowballs, crashing through signs, and even sliding on frozen rails (Tony Hawk style).

This stage is easily one of the most invigorating in the game. However, it also features a number of collectibles that need to be obtained the first time around. So, a little preparation will help to make sure that you don't miss anything. That is where this guide comes in, of course!
The Icy Slopes stage starts with you sliding down the mountain. You won't be controlling the speed of your descent, so the only thing you need to worry about is dodging pitfalls, jumping over spikes, and breaking signs (you do this with your airborne spinning tail attack). At the end of the first section, you will go careening off the cliff's edge and will need to use your grappling hook to avoid falling to your death.
As a reward for completing this segment, you will receive your first rune (1/2). Now, jump onto the frozen pole and start sliding down. There will be icicles impeding your progress, but you can break through them in the same way you were able to break the signs in the first segment (though these will take one fire charge). Once you exit the cave, there will be another railing to your right. Hop on it and gain the letter K.
Hop back over to the main rail. You will now have to periodically jump between rails to avoid falling off of them. Just ahead, hovering above a sign, is your first crystal (1/7). Jump up and grab it.
