thank you goo Roo,
I am stuck on that island with the enemies club yellow,I can´t get the spongegoon,when I destroy the cup cake, the space go.
I have to skill the yellow enemies?

You have to "help" Purple SpringGrunt with killing Yellow ClubGrunt. Hit him once and go to cupcake ( purple SpringGrunt will kill him successfully then ) , after that you'll be able to pick up SpongeGun.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PERFECT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am also stuck with that pesky yellow clubz grunt. I hit him once, he hitz me, he goez to the BW, and by the time I break the cupcake, the spongegun is hanging out in space...I can't get to it...and I noticed that there is a bridge that comez up at the bottom of this area, but it doesn't last long enough for me to cross because the clubz and purple springz are in the way...

A little help here, please?

[Tomalla]

1. Hit Yellow ClubGrunt and let him go into Blue Teleporter.
2. Go to the south, where enemy should land.
3. Hit him and RUN to the cupcake.
4. Yellow enemy will die and You should pick up SpongeGun to knock out Purple enemy.

Guess that's all.

[WalkingBear]

Ok, thankz, I guess it'z a matter of timing again, I'll try it!

I am stuck where springz has to jump diagonally over the green pyramidz that are going up and down. Cannot jump past the last area to the landing. I either hit the pyramid or go out into the water. There must be something I am missing.

Hmm ... Have you passed spikez area with hiding holez? If I recall correctly, you should press Green Toggle Switch to the right then.

[twiggy]

Oh, I see. Had tried before without watching carefully. Onward to more challengez.

Well, I finished the level and forgot about the 4 coinz and the "w". I started the level over and cannot figure out how in the world to kill the bombz to get access to them. What am I missing? Also, a question about the ending. I didn't see any use for the spongegun. What did the designer intend it's use for?

About bombers and W letter: as you know, most left bomber has to press most right BOTS. The same story with the most right bomber - he has to press most left BOTS. Have you wondered, what's about bomber in the middle? He has to blow up cupcake far far away to the bottom, on the little island ( with another bomber ). He will release Blue Hold Switch and you will be able to collect those 4 coins + W letter.

And about spongegun ... I have no idea, how did you pass that part without using SpongeGun You have to knock out enemy WingzGrunt to the right ... #cough# Correct: you should knock out enemy WingzGrunt to the right

[twiggy]

Gee, I sure wasn't paying attention to that middle bomber. Thought he was just there as a diversion. I did finally get the PERFECT! Really enjoyed the level and very clever use of the switchez. I killed wingz with my springz! A lot faster and more fun for me. Thank you Tomalla for another fantastic level.

[WalkingBear]

I must be really bad at this level, still can't get the spongegun under the hidden cupcake...by the time I get back to break the cupcake, it is already gone...so this one goez into the closet until I am really desparate...sorry Tomalla!

[twiggy]

Walkingbear, what do you mean "it is already gone"? What is gone?

[WalkingBear]

Ok, I hit the yellow clubz grunt. He hitz me back and then walkz into the BW.
I head down to wait for him and hit him again, then walk back up to the top, where I am supposed to break the cupcake and get the spongegun, right?

Only by the time I get to the bottom, wait to hit the clubz again and go back up, the secret cupcake has disappeared and I am stranded on the island.

So I am obviously either not fast enough, or am doing it wrong.

[Tomalla]

It has disappeared because Purple SpringGrunt has jumped onto BlueToggleSwitch, just after ClubGrunt had died. That happens, when you are too close to SpringGrunt after Club dies. Try be a little bit faster ...

[twiggy]

It's all in the timing and speed. Believe me, I had to do this part many..many times before I got it. I thought you were refering to a different spongegun, which you will come upon later, is why I was confused with your earlier post.

[WalkingBear]

Oh bother, I HATE tight timing!!! Ok, I'll keep plugging away! Thanks!!! And HAPPY HOLIDAYZ all you Gruntzers out there!!!

[oldone]

I finally decided to give this one a try, and lo and behold if I didn't get the PERFECT! It took me a couple of hours and 3 or 4 restarts, and also many trips here to get a clue or two, but eventually I did it. On the last go-through, it dawned on me, that when you understand what's going on, and you just press on, it doesn't take very long and it isn't very hard. No tight timing and no difficult moves for the hands. It was fun. Thanks Tomalla!
