In the screenshots from these guide, please look for the following:

• 🔴 Red circle - coin
  
• 🟦 Blue square - morph object
  
• 🟩 Green square - item needed for quests

If you want a basic playthrough (not 100% achievements):
- you can use hint / skip as many times as you like
- you need to collect at least 30 coins to upgrade your palace for the quests (which is required for progressing through the game)
- you don't need to collect any morphing objects

If you want to obtain all the achievements then you need to do the following:
- never use the hint button (skipping is allowed)
- play 1 hidden object scene without skipping (the minigames and the rest of the hidden object scenes can be skipped as long as you collect some of the coins that are scattered around)
- collect at least 62 coins (there are more than 120 coins available in the game) and use them to upgrade your palace (level 1 out of 3 possible upgrade stages, apart from some tiles that require level 3); if you want level 3 upgrades in all the section you will need 84 coins (it's just cosmetic though)
- collect 30 morph objects (I found 37 in my playthrough, but I probably missed a couple of them)
- play the bonus chapter

Each puzzle and each hidden object scene will award 3 extra coins, as long as you don't skip them.

There is an extra chapter that unlocks if you solve the first 2 quests, and the locations for the items needed for these are also displayed in this guide.
