Picking up Sparklies
There are sparklies scattered all over Mia's world. To pick up a sparkly, you must click on it and drag it over Mia.
She will grab it with her hands and put it in her backpack. Try this: drag a sparkly just above Mia's head and you'll see her jump up
in the air to grab it!
Help from Mia
To know where to go next or just to be reminded what to do, click on Mia's head. She will give you important hints and clues.
If she says nothing useful, keep exploring. Maybe you need to go a little further; maybe you are not in the right place?
SPECIAL KEYS
The Arrow Keys - Mia's Skateboard
Did you know Mia is a skateboarding champ? Hold down the left or right arrow on your keyboard and Mia will take out her skateboard
and go in the direction of the arrow you are pressing. Learn other cool tricks! Press the “Ctrl” (“Command” for the Mac) key while holding
down the right or left arrow on your keyboard and see Mia glide with her board. Press the space bar while holding down the right or left
arrow on your keyboard and you'll see Mia flip her board! Be careful, Mia cannot skate everywhere because sometimes there
is not enough room and it would be dangerous.
