- Arrive on Shark Tooth Island. You get some carbonated coconut milk from the Coconut Cafe vendor there. You can also get a shark fin, but this is not needed in the game. Items and information can be retrieved out of sequence or some skipped completely.
- Island residents tell you that their commerce is suffering due to a menacing shark (in Booga Bay at the far right of the island). In the Tourism Center on Main Street, you will see a tribute to Professor Hammerhead, who studied the ruins here but disappeared. In the Shark Museum is his journal (with a huge bite out of it), which no longer contains the secret information about the Ancient Ruins.
- Go to the right, pass in front of the Ancient Ruins, and go to Booga Bay.
- Get a grass skirt from the cart. You cannot reach the boy trapped in the Bay because Booga the Shark knocks you back. You can try feeding coconuts to Booga with the Coconut Launcher before you leave.
- Go back to the ancient ruins, and avoid the falling giant coconuts. Slide the giant block along the ground to the right, to the base of the giant bamboo stalk (which is supposed to be a coconut palm). You can now jump up to the hanging vines. Watch out for falling coconuts. At the top, you meet the Medicine Man who will only talk to you if you wear the grass skirt. who tells you about a potion to calm the shark. The recipe and ingredients are in the underground chambers of the ruins.
- Although you don't need it, you can get the Missing Journal Page from the roof of the ruins by jumping to the left from the first platform going up the vines.
- Enter the ruins, make your way through the water and passages to the left. You will reach a door with a face next to it. You need to press 4 of the 7 symbols to spell "OPEN" and the door will open. Press the 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 7th symbols from the left. Push the nose.
- The Creature Bone is at the bottom of the next chamber (to the far left, under the tooth-edged hole). Climb back past the giant worm on the statue.
- The fourth chamber contains a wall mural that explains the object of the game. Get the "Key Ingredient" at far left, and exit. (You are now back on Main Street. Note : the hole is not there when you first arrive.)
- Climb the vine and give the three ingredients (coconut milk, bone, and key stuff) to the Medicine Man. He will mix you a sleeping potion in a coconut.
- Take the coconut to Booga Bay and feed it to Booga with the Coconut Cannon.
- Rescue the boy and Professor Hammerhead. Go back to the happy mom and the professor gives you your Island Medallion.
