The timer switch goes down too fast for the warpstone to get through....and...how do I access the left part of the puzzle?

Warpstone doesn't go through via the Silver Timer Switch! I sent Gauntletz through, myself. This puzzle depends upon a flaw in the Gruntz game engine, which allows a Grunt to move diagonally between Pyramidz, under certain timing conditions.
That's how Gauntletz is free to pass the Silver Pyramidz ... he escaped from the CheckPoint Pyramidz trap. Select the Warpstone Grunt while he is several Tilez away from his CheckPoint Switch. (Gauntletz is already standing on his.) Start Warpstone moving towards his Switch, and select Gauntletz and point to a destination diagonally out of the CKP trap that will rise. Time it right, when Warpstone hits his Switch, to move Gauntletz out, and he is free. Then the Silver Pyramidz puzzle is easy.
There are at least three Secret triggerz in this CL, that provide the way to get to the left side mini-puzzlez, and to the island in the northeast corner of the map. One is in the Lava ring; one is at the edge of the Rolling Rockz circuit; one is in the Arrowz maze. There may be another ... it has been a long time since I have played this CL. I hope this helps!

I feel really dumb asking this, but how do I get my Spongegruntz onto his checkpoint in the first place? (I'm sure it's easy, but sometimes I have these mental blockz, ya know!  ) |

You have to move gauntletz off his starting square before spongegunz steps on his, otherwise you will squish your gauntletz. As the two gruntz approach the area, after the rolling rockz, one picks up the spongegunz, and shoots the other over the arrow...he has to shoot again over the up facing arrow where the BOTS (Black One Time Switch) is. That lowers the pyramidz around his checkpoint, If I remember correctly.  |

Of course!!! I just knew it would be something easy that I just wasn't seeing. Thank you!  |

See! Gruntz fanz don't bite ... and they usually can tell you how to solve a puzzle you are having difficulty with. Thanks to your question, someone new coming along and playing this CL will have the answer waiting in this thread. Keep up the good work!

No worries...except that I have been all over the lava ring and can't find the secret. Nor the one in the rolling rock/arrowz maze...and still haven't gotten my gauntletz through the checkpoint diagonally...  |

No worries...except that I have been all over the lava ring and can't find the secret. It is one of the Lava Geysers on the left edge, two or three up from the southern string of LGz. On the right (space) side of the Rolling Rock area ... a Tile not in the path of the RRz. That's all a matter of timing ... keep trying ... you'll do it. (Then SAVE!) |

Oho!!!! Warpstone DOES go through the silver pyramidz....he stands at the right hand side, and when gauntletz stepz on the switch, warpstone scoots right across, and straight down, triggering the third secret warp to the arrowz maze.
Almost done. BUT, where, pray tell, is the secret to the three coins (with those nasty swordz) on the right side, out in space? It's killin' me not to get a Perfect! after all this time and effort!
Also, toobz steps on the filled in hole after he gets the warpletter and steps on his checkpoint, triggering the second warp for the second barehanded grunt who gets the gauntletz and breakz the brickz to get another warpletter....SAVE, SAVE, SAVE, here, so you don't get blown up with the exploding brickz...

Warpstone is not the proper Grunt to use for that area ... he would satisfy the CheckPoint Switch and be stuck! I believe the SecretTeleporterTrigger is within the Arrowz maze; stepping somewhere other than the 'logical' Arrow to take you through the Arrowz to the way out. Thus, you do not want Warpstone to be in the Arrowz maze. |

I have uploaded a walkthrough and Statz Page image to the web host for this CL. There is no 'Acknowledgements:' member, though, so that link will not work. I plan to create a 'generic' member to upload later on tonight. For those of you who may not have achieved a "PERFECT!" on this (timed!) Custom Level, let me know what you think of the walkthrough. If it is acceptable, I will remove the BETA from the original post. If there are problemz that need correction, I will try to make them the same day I receive information about whatever needz changing (or extending).

When you open the WT there are these boxes with a red X in the middle where I assume there should be a picture of a rock, switch ect. How do I get the picture so I know what is being talked about? I have tried right clicking and then clicking on open picture nothing happens. Sometimes it dose not matter but some times I can't figure out what is being refered to and need to see the picture.

It appearz that I will have to update the Walkthrough, replacing the (probably) Neron Hosting referencez with relative referencez on the current web host.  |

While updating the Walk-through for this Custom Level, I realized that it was very possible to play it in 'Easy' mode! So I re-wrote the walkthrough based upon the 'Easy' mode solution, with linkz to the 'Normal' mode Secretz. I have posted a link showing the 'Easy' mode statisticz ... played in 'Normal' mode, so the timer was still active. The way the walk-through is (now) written, the only way you will receive any help on the Secretz is by clicking on the keyword link in the basic walk-through component ... or by using the Index component link to the Secretz component. BTW, each Secret also has its own separate component, so that you may only see the Secret you need the help with, without seeing all of the five Secretz at once.. |
