Use the Atlas to finish the rescue
Clear the story, return with companions and organize the collection for the Super Bonus Round.

Separate story progress from complete realms
Complete the main routes that recruit helpers for travel and collect enough eggs to keep portals available. A realm with an unavailable companion task can remain unfinished for now. Review the Atlas after each successful visit and record the reason for an incomplete entry. That makes later cleanup purposeful: you will know whether to bring a companion, revisit a minigame or search for a small gem deficit.
Return for Sparx and companion rewards
After advancing through the adventure, revisit the original homeworlds for Sparx areas and earlier companion gates. Sparx's earned abilities can make later collection easier, including the ability to indicate nearby missing gems once acquired. Use these rewards to narrow the remaining work. A repeated miss in a minigame deserves a focused practice session; move to another accessible task when frustration starts replacing careful observation.
Prepare for the final bonus collection
The first Sorceress victory completes the main story, but the collection continues. The Super Bonus Round requires 149 eggs and 15,000 gems, so use the Atlas to find what still needs attention and recover the gems returned through the late Moneybags encounter. The bonus round then adds its own rewards and another Sorceress confrontation, bringing the full totals to 150 eggs and 20,000 gems. Skill Points are a separate optional goal tied to the epilogue.
Check the reason an Atlas entry is incomplete before searching the same terrain again.
