Early in the level, you'll encounter a snowy arena with a bouncing ladybug enemy. Pass it and reach the pig; grab it after it charges. Swing the pig towards the edge of your platform until the icy statue is targeted. Release the pig to destroy the statue, then backtrack, flip over the ladybug, and bounce up to the platform. A charged spin attack will open a room with the secret portal.
