How do I get in the windmill?
  • 1 of 6: Your first step actually isn't getting in the windmill.  (This should only be a puzzle in Mega-Monkey mode.)
  • 2 of 6: Just try to get on top of it.
  • 3 of 6: Those blades might carry you.
  • 4 of 6: Just find an item that will let you hook yourself on.
  • 5 of 6: An umbrella might be nice.
  • 6 of 6: Order a drink with an umbrella from Goodsoup at the bar.  You can use that umbrella (it's full-sized) on the blades to get on top of the windmill.
