After collecting all the Stellafruits, offer them to both Sergeant Octopuses to start their trials.

Trial #1

In the first trial, you must aim and throw the Unipolar Crystronites at the flying targets and Stellafruits when they are lined up properly. The goal is to destroy 99 Stellafruits within the time limit. Completing the challenge will give you a Precious Chest and an Exquisite Chest.

Trial #2

You must destroy 99 Stellafruits in the second trial as well. However, this time you must stand inside the blue rings to jump higher to destroy the Stellafruit and complete the challenge. Always avoid the red rings because they will prevent you from jumping, and be careful of the electrical waves. You will get two more chests for completing the challenge.
