Oh no! It turns out Crazy Joe is crazy, and he's hidden the treasure where we've already found it!

Actually, I think Joe's mental illness has less to do with lying to Dizzy and more to do with the fact that he failed to notice Dizzy digging out the treasure in front of him or that he stepped right on top of the treasures while boarding the lift.

It doesn't have to happen that way, though. Since you can send anything on the lift (except yourself) as much as you want, you don't have to send Crazy Joe up on the same trip as you send the treasures. You do still have to use the lift to send up the treasures eventually, though, as the game won't allow you to "carry all that junk" out through the water this time around, just as I couldn't take the new box item into the water. (But why not allow the box? You can still take it into the cave via the lift anyway, and it's not as if it would break anything there; the top only becomes solid in that one little area anyway.)

Talking to Crazy Joe at the surface before you open the secret wall also gives you a different conversation with him, but of course I couldn't have both conversations in one game, and you wouldn't want to see another trip into the cave. So I did it all the old efficient way, although those treasures do cause slowdown on the lift--did you notice it slows down more when Joe blinks?

Also, isn't it weird how sometimes you can pick up objects without opening the menu? Oh, and finally, Dizzy finds a way to levitate his choice of objects over the water!
