so it is very important to use only 3 toyz at the bomber area...  ... so why didn't you say so...  ... back to the start... again...  I did use 4 toys and did have no problems with the swords You need only 1 toy for the sword by the ? |

you are right... it can be done with only one toy... but ... the challenge of useing only 3 toyz in the bomberz area was most tempting...  |

I finaly managed to finish this level with a perfect score After reading this topic, I think that I found another way than yourin or Gaby to press the secret ? switch : I didn't need the boxing gloves (another 'friendly' Gruntz came to help me, for the second time !) I found it a very great level, thanks a lot Gamer  The idea of moving the gravity boots Gruntz with bridges was a great one ! But something strange hapened : after finishing the level (with a perfect), I realised that I forgot to take the Shovel (I didn't see what was its purpose, so I put it away for the end of the level) and I had 8 tools on 8 all the same. Do somebody has an idea of what could hapen |

I finaly managed to finish this level with a perfect score But something strange happened : after finishing the level (with a perfect), I realised that I forgot to take the Shovel (I didn't see what was its purpose, so I put it away for the end of the level) and I had 8 tools on 8 all the same. Do somebody has an idea of what could happen The Shovel has two purposez that i can see, neither of them crucial to the solving of the Level: - Allow the solver to take the 'short' way north from the Green Toggle Switch through the Holez (that were first covered by the Springz Grunt)
- Speed up the movement of the Grunt! (There is a lot of walking from one side of the map to the other)
How you could get a "PERFECT!" score with 8 of 8 Toolz, when you did not pick up the Shovel is a mystery to me. |

Good for you do tell... it may give people ideaz for how to look for solutionz I think my solution is in the sentence : there is only one 'friendly' Grunt who helped me before, walking on yellow swithez. I only managed to make him follow my spy Grunt onto the green switch to open the ? switch. No, I totaly forgot it. |

So you managed to get the aggressive Gravity Bootz Grunt to follow you all the way to the Green Hold Switch, survived a whack from the Sword Grunt and a kick in the shinz from the Bootz Grunt and made it through to the "?" Switch!?! Wow! I never even considered such a solution! Good job, Manu!

Switch!?! Wow! I never even considered such a solution! Good job, Manu! I haven't been kicked by the bootz grunt : I gave him a toy when he stood on the green switch so i had enough time to go to the "?" switch. I had only to run fast after the red worm hole to leave him behind. |

Well, I give up. I'm having one of those mental blockz with this CL. My brain falls  as soon as I get to the secret switch. That sword grunt has me stumped. I die every time. I think I'll wait for the walkthrough. |

You want to have Boxing Glovez, so you can 'persuade' that Sword Grunt to stand on the Green Hold Switch (GHS), then hand him a Toy to keep him standing on the GHS for a while. Yes, you will take a whack from that 'butter knife' he is carrying (once), but you can survive with half health.

Started again but this time I can't get past the toys. I read that you can do this part with only three toys so that you have some to get past the sword where I was stumped before. . . I'm still waiting for the walkthrough. |

The part with the kamikaze grunt and the spy grunt can be done with 3 toys. You can't get a perfect with more than 3 toys, but you can complete the level. You should save the other two toys for later.

try to lure the kamikaze grunt to the south east diagonal... the 2 nd toy will be put between the 2 staircase, diagonal to the first toy... the 3 rd toy will be diagonal to the 2 nd toy and diagonal to the rockz you have to break...  ... good luck...  |

OK, so I'm a whiner.  Why I didn't see the way to the safe spot before is beyond me.  Sometimes, I'm blind in one little spot and it will go on for days. Anyway, I found it, and managed to finish with a perfect. Great level and thanks everyone. |

congratulathionz... ... I was sure you'll do it... [img src=https://gooroosgruntz.info/emoticons/wave.gif[] |

... but... 
... so why didn't you say so... 
The idea of moving the gravity boots Gruntz with bridges was a great one !
I cannot lay the brick for the upper two snowballs. I have been trying for an hour. Gaby, you said (on March 29) to go the west wing where the arrows are. I did. I can't get within 2 spaces of the safe spot. I have tried all different kinds of timing possibilities. Please, somebody I beg you, how do I get there.
