This is my walkthrough for Red Ball 4 Vol.2. Red Ball is one of the most important games in my life. When I was young i didn't have a computer or Xbox or PlayStation but I did have a phone and my favorite game was Red Ball. I played red ball many many times and it got to become the gamer I am today. I got stuck on the earlier volumes and I didn't really have access to a walkthrough because I was a dumb kid and it was a pain to figure out how to beat those later levels so this is to help people like old me. Clicking w or spacebar makes you jump, clicking a makes you go left and clicking d makes you go right. You can also play with the arrow keys. Obstacles are explained when they come up in levels.
Here's a video of me getting 100% in the game
Some Tips:
Always Hold w when you beat a level and keep holding when they start. None of the levels start out with a pit of water at the start in front of you or a box or saw so you shouldn't be scared of anything. (Besides 4 but shhh)

Once you hit a checkpoint and die you go back into the level without restarting from the beginning at that checkpoint so make sure you got all the stars before hitting a checkpoint because it doesn't let you go backwards.

Instead of clicking on the restart button in the corner you can click r to quickly restart the level or reset you from your last checkpoint. Doing this will also give you back all of your hearts.

The game does save your progress if reload the page but if you are paranoid do this. Right click on the screen and click on "open save manager", you can see your save files and can download the one called "RedBall4.2" If you are hopping off for the night and want to play again tomorrow but are scared to have to restart. All you have to do is download it and then the next day click respace and click on the file from the day before and its saved!

You can crush boxes by pushing a wooden circle into them till they hit a wall. This can also happen to you and will instantly kill you so be careful in some of the levels.

When you are hugging a block of wood and its against the wall your jump will be tiny so make sure to move away before you jump.

If you touch water or saws you will instantly die and will be set back to the start of the level or the last checkpoint you touched.

You don't need stars to beat the game but if you want to have some fun try to collect them all so you get three extra achievements. Don't worry about achievements for now I will be talking about them later but you unlock over half from just beating all the levels.

boxes (the games enemy) sometimes have limits on how far they can go left or right, specifically if they are going to go under a tree so sometimes they may stop early saving you from getting hit.

LEVEL 1: Run to the right till you have to jump twice on the platforms and fall between the block of wood and the wall and push the wood right until the enemies dies. Move away from the wood and jump onto it then onto the tree then run right and take a big jump to collect the star (don't worry about missing your jump you can just runback).

LEVEL 2: Run right and jump on the first platform, then when you are on the wall hold left and at the last second jump, do this another time to get to the checkpoint. Do another big jump right to get the star and sit on the other platform waiting for the saw to go left. Once its at the left wall hop down and jump over the water and get the next checkpoint. Now you will find the first two basic enemies who can be killed by hopping on their heads. If you want a challenge try to kill both of them with only one jump. The rest of the level is running right.

LEVEL 3: Run right to collect the first star and walk off the wood to kill the first boxes, there is another one coming but if you are quick you can run to him and kill you before he blocks your path. There is a b̶r̶o̶k̶e̶n̶ secret star under the block of wood with a platform but in this case you will instantly pick it up. Keep running right and you will find an out facing button. These types of buttons need to be pushed once and they stay pushed, unlike the buttons in the later levels. Push the button by running into it and run back to the left to jump up to the checkpoint with parkour. Run into the checkpoint and keep holding right and make sure to click jump at the end of the ride. Before you hit the ground you might have to hold left to land on the box. Hold right again to the checkpoint and quickly jump on the first platform but DO NOT hit the wooden ball, at least for now, wait until the saw is about to come under you and then start jumping like crazy and right when the wood hits the floor hug it to the wall and jump up to beat the level.

LEVEL 4: Jump on the first box and then you will find a new type of obstacle, moving platforms. Thankfully they are very simple, they just move in and out and so you can jump on the first one and keep jumping to get on the next. The platforms above the water are effected by gravity so when you jump on one to be safe wait till they stop moving so much so you don't fail your jump. Hold right and then left to get both stars and you will find the second type of boxes in this world, a ninja box! Ninja boxes jump every 1.8~ seconds after the hit the ground and have to be hit twice before the die so make sure to not be dumb and time your jumps properly. Jump on his head and follow it in the air so you hit it again in the air or before it jumps again. Run right till you get to the first platform and wait for the box to be at the right of the platform to the left ands then jump on it as then its head. Run and jump to the left and then do what you just did for the top platform. Run and jump to the right to hit the button. Be careful because if you hit it from the top or hit this type of button from the bottom it might not always work. Jump down and right right towards the next level.

LEVEL 5: Run right till the moving platforms and do basic parkour to get to the checkpoint (right when a platform is at its longest and run and jump towards the next one). Push the wood on the floor and keep pushing it as far as you can towards the ramp and jump to get it extra Hight. It wont make it up the top of the ramp this time. When its at its peak and its about to roll back down run back to the left wall and once the wood is about to hit you jump, if you don't jump you will die. Hold left so you are to the left of the wood and push it to the right and this time it will make it up the ramp. There is a ninja box but if you are lucky it will be killed by the moving wooden ball, if you are unlucky just jump to kill it and push the wood to the right to make it to the next checkpoint. Fall down to the button and then jump back up and hold left for a second to make a big jump to the tree. Kill the final box and hold right to get to the next level.

LEVEL 6: Quickly jump onto the platform and then run and jump to the seesaw Stop on the left side on the seesaw to hold it down with your weight and then jump down to kill the ninja box. If the seesaw is facing so that its lowest point is on the right then stand under that point and jump to change it. Run to the right to hit the button and do basic parkour to make it to the checkpoint. While you still have momentum jump right to get all the stars and hop down to kill the box and collect the stars. Stay as far left as possible on the moving platform while not being under the tree and spam jump till you get to the top platform and then run and jump right so till you land on the box. You might not have enough speed and you might bump into the box but it will just fall into the water and drown. Keep holding right if you didn't get hit or jump to the next box and if all is timed right you will get passed the hardest part in the game so far. If you do get hit if you've been holding right you should be fine and can just jump on the next box and run right to beat the level.

LEVEL 7: Run right and kill the first ninja box and then you will be introduced to the more annoying type of buttons. This type has a timer for what it powers so the longer you push it the more the moving platform or gate (you'll see them later.) Hold the button down and then jump up when the platform is at its max to get to the platform. Walk right and up the ramp to get to the next box and kill it. Hold left to push the wood out of the bottom of the ramp and then jump to the left of it and push it up the ramp like you did level 5, while pushing it you might get onto the other side and get crushed so tap left so this doesn't happen and jump up. Wait until the saw is to the right side and jump down to hit the button and then quickly jump up to safety. Take big jump right once the saw is back on the left side to hit the button and then run left to do the same thing again to get to the end of the level.

LEVEL 8: Run right to kill the first box and hold down the button till the moving platform is fully powered and quickly run and jump back left do the top platform, go a tiny bit to the left, run and jump to the right to make it to the next area. If you miss your jump you can always restart quickly because the button is right under the platform. Use your momentum to get to the next checkpoint and hold right. You will fall down to the second platform but just quickly jump back up and hold left so you don't take damage from the top box. Hug the button again and once its fully opened the gate and then run right till you are a little bit before the background pole and then jump so you fall into the next floor quickly. Hold right till you hit the wall and then quickly hold left so you get a good bounce, do this again and you should make it past the gate. Kill the ninja and jump on the platform to so that its lower half is on the left and then jump up on the right side to make the upper platform's lower side on the left and make your platform the opposite. Take a big jump left and then right to get to the top platform and then do one more jump to get to the next level.

LEVEL 9: Avoid the lower area full of ninja boxes and jump up to the top area instead to hit the button that activates the lower saw and wait until that kills all the ninja boxes to move. Once that happens go down and wait until the saw is all the way to the right and go in the middle of the lower area and jump on the platforms so you can wait till the saw goes left and then you can go right. First go and hug the button on the left and once the platform is fully out go to the right and hold that one until its done and quickly make your way up. Jump onto the first box and wait until the bridge has stopped moving so you can jump on the next one and then go right and down to beat the level.

LEVEL 10: Go to the right and wait a few seconds for a ninja to hit the button to help you up and then kill him because we don't support boxes in our country and they are what's wrong with society. Anyways run and jump till the next checkpoint and make another jump towards the platform on the same height level as you and then hold only left to fall to the bottom platform. Jump up to get starts and do the same thing again and once you are done go to the bottom platform. Hold right and jump so the tree doesn't slap you into the water and then kill the box to get to the next area. slightly push the wood to the right and quickly jump up to push the half wall and stand on it so the wood can pass. If you want to speed this up drop the wood and slam it down to push the wood to the right faster and then just run right to beat the level. If you mess up click r to restart this area.

LEVEL 11: Hug the button to push out the platforms to the right and quickly jump up them to get right under the top button. If you try push the button by jumping under it you might get pushed down so move a little to the right and then jump while holding left to push the button then jump right to the checkpoint. Wait until the swing is about to be at a stop on the left side and jump on it. Once both platforms are about to meet jump onto the next one and then jump out when the swing is at the right. Stay high and jump on the next platform to get starts and then drop down a little right of the button waiting for the ninja comes back so you can jump on it while its high to hit the button. Then kill it and run right to beat the level.

LEVEL 12: Right when the level starts run right and to put it in a simple way, be good at the game to hit the button on the right while avoiding the saws. Go up to leave this area and go fight the two ninja boxes (wowie so hard). Kill the first ninja so the second one drops down and kill him so you can beat the level. If you can't do this use the small bounce you get from hitting the side of a box on the bottom ninja on the side so you can cheat this area. Once you hit the checkpoint you can click r to get your hearts back but if you don't need hearts just go right and kill the box. These boxes that come from trees keep spawning but you only get points from the first kill so don't spend an hour killing them. Wait until only the top and bottom platforms are out to jump on the first one and wait a second till the one on the right comes out to jump on it, then wait until the top comes out and jump on that before you fall down and just make a jump till the end of the level.

LEVEL 13: Run right and onto the first floating platform and before jumping to the next one wait until its not moving up or down so it doesn't effect your jump. Do this until you are on the top one and bounce off of the button after you hit it so you don't fall down and die (holding left will not save you). Go right and jump to get the first star and keep falling onto the first box, do the same for the second box. Wait a second for the ninja go to back to the right before running out to the next area. Kill the ninja and stay right next to the wood for the hardest part of this game, getting the wood to stay on the swinging bridge. Hug the wood without pushing it by only going to the right very slowly and wait until you can see the wooden part of the bridge itself. Once you do hold right and if you do it well you and the wood will be put safely on the bridge where you can just push it right and the end and beat the level. Don't worry about messing up eventually you will get it and if you fail you restart at the checkpoint which is very close nearby.

LEVEL 14: Run right and jump over the wood so that you are between the wood and the button and then push the wood all the way to the left. Once its at the left jump between it and the wall to push it right at a medium speed and use it without changing its direction or stopping it to make your way up and then jump. Jump right and hug the gate until its open and kill the boxes in the next area while collecting those beautiful stars. Wait until the bottom platform is out and drop down while slightly being to the right of the button so you can hit it and quickly jump up to save yourself. Jump and hold right to hit the button and stay on the wall. Instantly run and jump right so you can quickly jump on the infinitely respawning ninja to bounce up to get to the end of this level and to the final boss.

LEVEL 15 BOSS: This box is different from the other boxes because you need to hit it while its eyes are yellow. For the first part of this level every time it jumps on one side of the screen that means its eyes are about to change. At the start of the level hold right and jump while you are about 5 red balls laying side to side away so you can get to the right of the boss hiding away from the saws. Make sure to hit it while you are back there. You don't have to do this you can just play it normally but this is more fun. After you do this and every time you hit the boss it starts jumping to the other side of the screen to become vulnerable and to spawn something to kill you. Wait until its eyes are yellow to hit it again and this time you may not be able to hide behind it but thankfully this part is easy you just have to jump over the two saws that are going to come in. Get a running start to jump over the first saw and then sit in the middle, do the same for the second saw so you are hugging the right wall. Don't stand to close to the boss so it doesn't hit you but try to be on the left side so you can quickly hit it or if you are lucky hide on the wall behind it again. If you die you will restart at the boss having all six hearts but once its down to three if you die and respawn it will only have three. Once it has three hearts and runs to the left side of the map the next phase has started. In this one he isn't going to be able to be damaged until he goes right then left then right again so don't even try to hit him. He will spawn ninjas boxes onto of your head so try to stay moving around. Once you kill it he will run to the right side again and this time after he spawns one a few seconds later he is going to jump again and spawn another. After you kill these boxes he will do this one more time with three ninja boxes and then will just run back and forth left to right but you can hit him and beat the game. Remember that right when you kill the final ninja box he will start jumping again so try not to kill them next to him. Also remember that right when a ninja firsts falls down they will instantly jump so don't try to kill them right away.

ACHIEVEMENTS: After you beat the game you can try to get all the achievements in the level select screen for some extra fun. Beating the game alone unlocks the first nine achievements so don't worry about them. You probability died from a ninja so you have naughty ninja, same for thew next two but if you don't have them go level 7 for saws and 8 for water. The next three depend on how many medals you get from the levels. You get a gold if you get all the stars and kill all the enemies and you can see this by the level numbers. The final one is for getting all other achievements. Thanks for reading my walkthrough, this took around 5 and a half hours but I had a lot of fun so it was worth it.
