The stage-select display shows its missing Energy Spheres. Compare the order of empty slots with the route so a replay targets the correct section instead of searching every room again.

Look for Super Ability portals

Large marked obstacles often conceal a dimensional portal. The chase beyond it leads to a Sphere Doomer, whose defeat usually supplies two Energy Spheres.

Keep puzzle abilities until the reward is secured

Some sphere paths depend on cutting ropes, pounding stakes or carrying a key. Do not replace a useful ability immediately after the first obstacle if the same side route continues.

Return to the Lor Starcutter

Collected spheres unlock Copy Ability rooms, challenge stages and sub-games aboard the ship. Check the doors as totals rise; collecting spheres has benefits before the full set is complete.
