Documentation of all Data-Log locations.
Intro
Data-Logs will be organized by level, and titled as followed:
- Data-Log #:
- Title Requirements: _____
- Random: Yes/No
- Location: _____
If you a missing a specific Data-Log, you can search for the missing #. Otherwise, consult the World board in the museum for incomplete levels.
A majority of the data-logs will require you to have some way to reach high places. This can include:
- The Rocket Pants triple jump
- The Jetpack
- The Pogostick
- The Grappling Hook
- Rocket jumping via the Commando’s Rocket ability
- Rocket jumping via an explosive weapon
Data-logs found in such places will be listed as requiring a “Jump Upgrade”.
Some data-logs will require you to have the shovel equipped to dig up the data-log. These dig spots can be hard to see and sometimes even spawn inside walls. It’s recommended to save these data-logs for last, and use the Metal Detector gadget once unlocked for easy locating.
Some data-log locations are also randomized across save files. They can spawn in a general area, which the guide will describe.
The final data-log will require all six power crystals.
