Need to stock up on lives and bear coins so you won't have to worry about it later? Like the past DKL games, the first level is the place to go! I'm at the starting point... from here, walk past the roof that's above Dixie's head & jump up... you should see a barrel cannon... Jump in and it will blast you onto that rooftop... you'll get a 1-up and a bear coin! exit the level, then re-enter! ^-^
