After I get the gauntletz and break all the rockz, do I go over the yellow bridgez to get the coin and to the upper right? Or, go down below the cloudz and to the lower left?

Go across the Quicksand to the northeast. After you acquire the GooberStraw, you will pass through the Thundercloudz to the southeast.

I have gotten to the fourway checkpoint with toobz, shovelz, strawz and gauntletz. Strawz and shovelz have gone through the arrowz maze to the south, and shovelz has gone through the red warp...although I didn't have enough time to use him to dig up the three holez...
That leaves toobz and gauntletz and a newly created grunt to go to the pool above the arrowz maze. The question is, I can get gauntletz to the purple switchez, but that leaves the barehanded stranded on an island...what is the correct way to put four gruntz on the purple switchez and still leave one to stand on the orange toggle switch?

Shovel has all the time in the world to dig up those Holez, and pick up whatever is in them ... if you take care of the enemy Gruntz first! (Hint: use the Pyramidz.) Toobz has a lot of paddling to do.  |

Ok, I have been swimming back and forth all over that pool and I still get the barehanded grunt stranded....so please be a little more detailed? I guess I am not the greatest Gruntzer that ever came down the pike, but I am one of the more determined ones...!

Ok, I got through the pool, finally, and I have 4 gruntz at the top right, past the brickz and onto the four purple switchez...Now, I hope I only need to get one of those green swordz to stand on one of those pruple switchez? (If not, I start ALL over AGAIN...) Springz has gone down across the golf ball maze, and spy has gotten the gunhatz, and weakened one of those green swordz and killed the other three...if I use the bricklayer gruntz to go get that beach ball (he has the most health at the moment) how can I get back to the purple switchez and give the enemy the beach ball before he kills me?
And, what do I do with the four gruntz that got send south? There is no where for them to go at the moment.

Finish off that fourth enemy Sword Grunt. All he will do is use that 'butter knife' on your Gruntz, if he gets off that plateau. You are on the correct path. The Grunt you want to entice into standing on a Purple Switch is ahead of your four Gruntz.

Guess I shouldn't have killed that shieldz, huh? Oh well, back to the starting line--again!  |

That's the beauty (and the frustration, at times) of the Gruntz game! There are frequently "the designer's way", "the obvious way" and "an unintended way" to solve a particular puzzle. This provides you with a learning experience to look ahead in Custom Levelz, to see what may be needed later on. If you have already played Paul's "A World of Sweetz", you probably know what I mean (I got caught in Paul's trap); if you haven't played it yet ... well, a word to the wise.

I have tried "A World Of Sweetz" and have been stuck at one spot for a while....I have at least 10 different CL's going at any one time. Working on this or that puzzle. Sometimes I have to let one go for awhile till I can figure it out....or rely on the true blue GOO ROO to help me out!
So, I have FINALLY gotten beyond the checkpoint at the top of the puzzle to the brickz puzzle. I don't have a clue here.
I can get my bricklayerz gruntz into the puzzle, and he layz a brick in front of him, breaking the golfball. The Gauntletz goes in, breakz the brick, and then what?
There is no way to get the brickz gruntz in front of the gauntletz so that he can lay another brick at the next rolling golfball that I can see. Some help here, pleaze?

There IS a way to switch your gruntz around! It's a bit tricky, though. What you have to do is place your brick-layer in the short path to above and to the right of the arrow pointing up. Then place your gauntletz at the top of the north-south path. Start your gauntletz grunt walking onto the arrow at the bottom of the path. Select your brick-layer and, when the gauntletz is fixing to pass him, select a space on the north-south path. The gruntz will pass without a hitch.

Ok, you were right, that was tricky....Now, Brickz goes across the next rigthfacing arrow and steps into the safe square. Layz a brick in fron of him. When the golf ball breakz, gauntletz stepz across the arrow and breakz the brick, right? Well and good, however, Springz must somehow make it to the green switch...are we to emply the same side-stepping trick every time someone has to pass by?  How do I kill that vicious looking purple swordz? And how is gauntletz supposed to break the last two brickz and allow springz to get to the BOTS? AND, brickz still has to lay a last brick in order for gauntletz to break it so all can leave the maze........ Hurricanes Bonnie and Charley are about to arrive, so there will be no Gruntzing allowed for a couple of days if it gets nasty....what is a Gruntzer to do?  Hopefully, find a terrific walkthrough for this part of the level when she returnz to Gruntz another day! |

I am assuming that you have already crossed the toggle bridge, taken care of the emeny grunt, broken the brickz, killed the toobz, gotten the coinz, found the secret, killed the bricklayer, gotten the strawz, sucked up the goo and created a new grunt, who went through the timer pyramidz, got the rock and now both of you are at the steps to the thundercloud area?
Ok, what you have to do is when the thundercloud gets to the top and starts back down, send your rockz along behind it, and when you get near the shieldz, throw a rock at him and beat feet back to safety before the cloud returns...."This is going to take perfect timing!!"
When the shield grunt is goo, wait until the cloud gets to the top and send your strawz grunt down to the safe spot...trying to avoid being hit by the gunhatz (You'll kill them later, thank goodness)...when the clouds separate, suck the goo, and then head down to the bottom of the area....rockz can follow you after you get through....
Head over to the next area where rockz killz the two gruntz....strawz goes over the golfballz, triggering the red warp for rockz....when rockz getz to the secret area, he can kill the first gunhat...
This was a long and difficult level for me...anything I can do to help you is yours for the asking!
