On the shore of Ginger Island, you’ll see a path leading to the island’s western section. However, it’s blocked off by a large tortoise, and the only way to move it is to bribe a nearby parrot with 10 Golden Walnuts. After that, you’ll find a broken bridge, where another parrot requires another 10 Golden Walnuts to repair it. Nice the island has a thriving economy, I guess.

You can remove the boulder with an explosive, revealing the previously trapped Professor Snail. He’ll thank you for your help and return to his desk at the Island Field Office tent, where he’ll ask you to come visit him.
