Once they are collected the mission ends successful.

Obstacles such as switches, enemies and puzzles need to be solved in order to collect the cherries.

Tips

If you find you can't pick an item up chances are you have no room. You can only carry 9 in game items. You can drop some things to make room by dragging the item into the 2 arrow pics underneath the bag. One will drop the item in front, the other will drop it below your feet.

If you cant drop an item it will be because that area of land is not empty, try moving and dropping it elsewhere.

You can only have one power-form at a time. To pick another up you have to drop it. You can drop your power-form the same as the bag items. Dragging it onto the arrows. The power-form icon is the small circle to the right of your health and armor bars.

The items shown above the health and armor bars are automatic items. They indicate they are active or you have some remaining.

The tiny bag and bar to the left of it show your current status on inventory items. Once this is full items that fly into you are simply lost, unless, it can be stacked with some currently held items.

To the left of the in-game items you can see the specials collected. Specials last till the end of the mission or you drop them like items. You can carry up to 4 specials at any one time.
