I am already in trouble? Who gets the warp stone at the beguining og the level? ?If I give it to the bhg he cannot get the toobz to go to the presure platez? Another puzzleying thing for me is if I put any of the gruntz through the blue warp hole, do I step on all the orange switches? I cant see what they move.....Or do I just step on the black 1 switch. I need some kind of wt or a lot of help here, please

Don't pick up the warpstone yet. You'll find the way back to it near the end. Just make sure you hit the blue switches, keeping track of the bridge tiles they raise. Just send your gruntz through the blue warps (in any order) and do what you have to do.
There is a walkthrough available when GooRoo releases it.

Oh goodie, I went to the wrong area I think....because that's where I am now....toobz is going to get the coinz in the water....but the tilez in the tarpit are still down...so I've missed something somewhere...I can see that toobz can go back on land down at the bottom...so I guess he squishez the swordz with the arrowz? YIKES! I hate these partz!

it's all right... after you collect you can come in from the bottom.... there is a BTS you have to press for the tile in the tarpit to appear

Yep, got it...got the gooberstraw too...thanks for the head's up on that Gaby....now....I am stuck in the spikez area...no matter how I try to get them through the spikez....the top one is ok...the second one and third one always die right as they land on the last spike....
Maybe I have to go back to my last save and make sure they all have the most zap cola I can give them....? I think the goober straw has lower health than the rest...but the third spike path has less spikez....so I thought he could at least make it through....
So, lead on, please!

You actually only need to use the path leading through the middle black pyramid. If all your gruntz have enough energy, they can all get through there. As far as I know, the other paths are traps.

that's correct, only the middle way is the right way... and you must be with absolutely full health

Has anyone managed to achieve a " PERFECT!" score on this Custom Level? The best I have been able to do is 52 out of 55 Coinz ... and I cannot find any by waving my Gauntletz all over the map at the end of the puzzle, just before bringing the Warpstone to the King. And adding a Shovel (cheating )and waving the Shovel all over the map doesn't find any undug/unfilled Holez/Moundz where any Coinz could be hiding. Several Coinz are on Bridge Tilez (usually Crumblerz, or Toggled Tilez) ... that is where I suspect that I picked up Coinz that the game engine did not count. If anyone has a screen shot of their Statz Page showing a " PERFECT!" score, please send it to me in JPEG format. (I need proof that it is possible, besidez having the image for support in this thread.)

I started a walkthrough on this level before I had my surgery. It seems I will have to finish it. It is possible to get the perfect. Did Toobz get all the coins in the reeds at the bottom right-hand corner?

Toobz has nothing to do with the Coinz in the reedz in the bottom right-hand corner ... there is a Red Warp that sendz any Grunt there to pick up the five Coinz. Toobz may be the Grunt whose Coinz are not counted, though.

Right you are. Man, it's been a while since I've played this. Better get on the stick.

I finished replaying the level, and yes, it is possible to get a perfect. I've sent a walkthrough and statz page to GooRoo, so hopefully, everyone else will get the perfect too. You all should be able to beat my time, I'm never very fast. I think I hid some of the holes a little too well. It drove me crazy , so maybe I won't do that in the future. Oh yea, when the coinz are on crumble bridgez, it is usually best to come at them from an adjoining tile. That gives you more time to pick them up and have them counted.

Is there a secret to the island at the top in the middle with coinz on it? Where the arrowz maze is?
I thought I remembered one but it has been a while since I played this level...I had forgotten the BTS at the bottom of the first area...that was the bridge tile I was missing...
And now that I have re-read the postz...I see that my toobz coinz may not have been counted...blast!

Yes, in the z maze where the 4 Gruntz' z are in sequence Gauntletz/Shovel/SpongeGun/GooberStraw there is a ' specially marked Tile' marking the SecretTeleporterTrigger. Those nasty Crumble Bridge Tile goodiez that don't alwayz get creditted to the solver's account.

Fishingbear, I think I know where you're probably missing the tile. This seems weird but everytime I played this level, I was missing a tile when I stepped on the switch in the spikez with the object guard. I think the guard must step on this in the beginning when we can't see it. That is why it is so important to count the tiles when you first start, and then before you leave each section. Believe me, I kept track on a piece of paper. In hindsight, the next time I (and hopefully any other designer) make a long bridge like this, the tiles will come up in order so they are easier to keep track of. I'm sure you all agree.
