Fire Canyon is the run the gauntlet level to get to the next home world. You need to have at least 20 powercells to activate the zoomer heat-shield. Kyra will have done this by the time you get here. The heat-shield meter, is in the lower left corner.

There are 2 powercells to get in this level. They can be found:
Making it to the end of the canyon in one piece on the a-grav zoomer
Finding and freeing all 7 scout flies

This is scarey at best. Hop on the zoomer and sprint as fast as you can down the canyon. Stone spikes will spring up blocking your way as you go. Swerve around them as best you can. Try and find the easiest path you can and take advantage of the blue eco vents to turbo boost. In turbo mode, try not to hit any obstacle to slow you down. This will immediately cut-off the turbo. Watch out for lava pits. If you fall into one, you will vaporize upon impact. Start-over again.

Your best friends along the canyon, are the blue balloons with the white circles. These are coolant rechargers for the heat-shield. Hit as many as you can and avoid the lurkers and dark eco land mines that usually surround them. There are several balloons that can only be caught by hopping off a stone ramp. I tried to pop all the balloons along the way at all costs. It doesn't hurt to restart the run through the canyon several times to find and collect all 7 scout flies.

The treasure chests contain all the orbs. There are no loose orbs in the air or scattered on the floor. As you go deeper into the canyon, more dark eco boxes stacked together will block your progress. Avoid them at all costs, because your health AND heat-shield will sustain damage. If you're lucky, you can do the entire run on your second or third try. Don't get discouraged if your heat-shield alarm starts to blast. Once you finish, get off the zoomer and take a well-earned break.

After you've admired your accomplishment, jump on on the ledge, and walk through the gap in the cliff down to Rock Village. Kyra immediately talks to you via the TV teleporter and asks you to activate the teleport gate inside the Blue Sage's Lab. This will allow the Green Sage & Kyra to join you.
