Jump to the other platform and do a pulse-jump below the shiny spot. You should hit a button that will open a door underneath the normal path. You can dangle from the bottom of the path and climb through the door. You will then be inside the Dragonreach Sandcastle.

Extra Life In Tempest Peak Manor
Go to the table with the goblets of red and green goo. Get on top of the one with the red goo and wooden spoon. Climb up the handle of the wooden spoon. Jump up and down a few times on the end of the spoon and red goo will pop out, revealing an extra life.
Extra Lives
On occasion, if you knock an enemy off into a bottomless pit or well, the combo counter in the right hand corner will continue to grow. If this happens, go around and do a half-decent air juggle to receive extra lives. It is possible to score 2,500 and get over 10 extra lives.
Faster Consecutive Long Jumps
Press L1 + X, and as soon as Vexx lands from the long jump, press L1 + X again to go faster.
Fly Suit
In Dragons Reach (level 2), climb up the dragon's tail. Continue climbing until you reach the yellow poles on the slippery ground. Climb the first and jump to the others. On the last one, turn to your left and try to do a long jump to a small platform with a jump pad on it. You will be rocketed over to the plateau. Walk around it. The fly suit is on the other side. Note that the jump to the jump pad may require some adjustments on your part.
