I have 'refreshed my memory' on this CL today, and corrected a few graphics errors, and the potentially fatal 'diagonal entrance to an intersection Arrow' errors. When I return home later this evening (it is 5:25PM where I am), I plan to write the correct walkthrough for the changed CL and make walkthrough and CL available for download here. When the indicator goes from its current 'thumbs down' to 'thumbs up', you will know that the update is complete.

There is a new (slightly modified) version of Tropical Trek Through Troublez, complete with a walkthrough (!) now available for download. I played it today to a "PERFECT!" in a little over 13 minutes (found a much faster solution than the one I intended ).

Why can't I get the enemy bomber at the end to run into the swords. No matter what I break first or how I approach, he will only go at an angle into the lava pit. I always forget about this, until I replay and then I have to cheat to get the warpstone.

I asume you got gauntletz ... so... after you break the rockz take "a quick two-step out" of the bomberz way... take the coin after he runs into the swordz...

Maybe I'm not understanding what you mean by a "quick two-step out". I have broken the rocks, I can dance all over the place in front of the bomber and he won't move. The only way I can get him to move is to walk from an angle on the left side to the top of the coins. But then he won't run to the swordz, only to the lava pit.

About 3 or 3&1/2 hours from now I will re-play the CL for myself to see where your trouble lies. If I am successful I will post the method about 4 hours or so from now.

I disposed of the Sword Gruntz, and the Suicide Bomber Grunt with the Boomerang. For the Sword Gruntz, you need to use the "T" method, as they will attack as soon as you get within true range with that bent piece of wood. Remember the "Gruntz In Space" problem with the SuicideBomber Grunt? The same thing applies here.

Thanks, I'll try disposing of the swordz with the boomerang. I had tried that once, but since it was such a challenge, I gave up and assumed that the bomb was supposed to get of them. I keep forgetting the old adage "Never assume. . ."

Well, it took some practice, but once I figured it out it was really quite easy. Now I know how to get rid of those pesky purple enemies (of any tool) with the boomerang. And for anyone else who wants to know how. .

When I re-played this CL yesterday in order to get a screen shot of the Statz Page (with " Perfect!" displayed ... at least partially), I discovered that I could not lower the final CheckPoint z! (No Springz. ) Going back a wayz, I simply did not send the Warpstone Grunt through the Red Warp (any Grunt could go through it, and still get credit) ... then walked him into the King's Fortress from the south. I hope this helpz future solverz ... I really do not want to modify the puzzle if I really don't have to.

Hint ... Tool exchangez: Gauntletz -> Springz (long delay) -> Shovel Bare-handed -> Toob -> Boomerang ->Bricklaying Toolz -> Gauntletz -> Warpstone.
The Springz must be kept around until the Warpstone/Springz CheckPoint Switchez are satisfied.
