Hidden Colored Gem Locations
Red Gem
You’ll find the Red Gem early in the game: it’s in the second level, N. Sanity Peak. Proceed until you reach a series of nine platforms in a grid, phasing in and out of existence. Before entering this chamber, you might have spotted a drawing by the vault door: this drawing tells you what order you need to jump on the platforms. Start with the bottom left, work your way around counterclockwise, then jump from the center-left platform to the middle. This will make the Red Gem appear.
Green Gem
You can find this during either Hit the Road or Truck Stopped. After the first leg of the chase, you’ll hop out of the ball by a checkpoint. Don’t proceed just yet; spin into the trashcan nearby to release an RC car and a controller. Spin into the controller a few times to drive the cart into the nearby nitro crate (get it?), which will explode, revealing the Green Gem.
Blue Gem
This difficult Color Gem is found in Draggin’ On. If you’ve already finished the level, you might recall seeing a certain column right at the end–a column with a drawing of a gem and a crossed-out crate. That’s right; you need to get through this entire level without breaking a single crate. That means no checkpoints, no Aku Aku protecting you from damage, and no accidentally spinning into crates with the Dark Matter Mask. We’re not gonna sugarcoat it: this is very, very hard to do, but it can be done. The Blue Gem will be waiting at the end of the level once you manage to pull it off.
Yellow Gem
The last Color Gem is found right at the start of Run It Bayou. Instead of getting on the jetboard, take a long jump to the platform to the northeast. From there, jump across the boxes to the next platform–be sure not to break them all, as you’ll need to use them to get back to safety after collecting the gem. Then take another long jump to the moving platform, from which you can reach the next platform with a stack of boxes. Bounce off of them to grab the Yellow Gem.
