Edit: There are now 99 Coinz to be gathered, instead of 100, in order to get around what appearz to be a bug in counting past 99.

Late breaking note: the problem is the Coin on the crumbling bridge tile ... you must time it properly so that the Toob Grunt is able to say "Oh Yeah!" (or whatever the random voice generator pickz).

Edit 1: The 100^th Coin has been reinstated for KnightsTour8.
The 'walk-through' does not tell you how to get through each square ... just what you will find, and hintz about "Plan ah_ead" ... and there are linkz just about everywhere so that you may obtain more information ... when you want it ... not blatantly thrown in your face.

great job GooRoo... it seems to be a more hard then medium... the grunt must career at all time... no time to rest... and I'm such a lumber... it will take me for ever...

[Gaby]

altough my long odds expectation... I made it through to part 6 ...now I'm stuck... how can I tease the suicide bomb to help me...

[Gaby]

well... I managed to give him the yo-yo to play with... when he was doen he helpd me... now I'm at the swordz enemy gruntz station... it sure looks tough...I'm lucky GooRoo wrot a walkthrough...

[Gaby]

the battle is over and there is a swordz enemy left... he kills my grunt or is being killd by the timebombz if I break more then 8 rockz ... how can I kill him and preserve his goo...

[GooRoo]

You don't need his Goo. When you get to the King'z Fortress you may well have a fully-baked Grunt you have no need for. The Sword Grunt may be disposed of any way you can ... Goo or no Goo.

[Gaby]

thank you GooRoo... it's a relief...

[Gaby]

OK... I've doen it ...I exposed all the swordz enemy and cleaned all the mess... I raised the checkpointflag... but alas... the BW is not working...my grunt is not going enywhere . BTW... if you start at a8 you land at b6... I think the numberz in the walkthrough are incorrect ...

[GooRoo]

You are viewing the 'chessboard' as if the player with the white pieces is on your left, and the player with the black pieces is on your right. The 'a' file is at the top, the 'h' file at the bottom; the '8' row is at your right, the '1' row is at your left. The inventory list is correct; the first 'move' is from a8 to c7. I will now check out the text walkthrough, to see if I made a mistake in that.

[Gaby]

ok... thank you for enlighten this subject... my mistake... I held the board in the wrong position now... what about that BW that the gooberstraw has to go through... it does not work... the gooberstraw is not going enywhere... or am I missing something (again)

[GooRoo]

I am presuming that you mean the Blue Wormhole you sent your GooberStraw Grunt through right after the Beach Ball CheckPointSwitch, right? If the Grunt just standz there ... you have (indeed) 'missed something'! The destination of that WormHole is a Bridge Tile; if the Tile is submerged, the Grunt will not be warped to it ... it is a "Death Tile". You must not have stepped on a Blue Toggle Switch ... or you stepped on it an even number of timez. Back to the GruntCreationPoint where the Grunt that has become the GooberStraw Grunt was created.

[Gaby]

thank you so much for youre fast answer... that indid is the problem...I assumed that I have to step on that BTS...

[Gaby]

I'm now at f2 and missing the beachball...so I went again to c1... if I míve from the disgrunt he uses the BW... so I've got to keep him busy with the beachball... please tell me what to do

[Gaby]

it's ok...I tricked him and went through the BW...

[GooRoo]

I'm sorry, gaby, I thought you were further along in the CL and gave you some bad advice a few repliez ago. You do need the Goo from all four enemy Sword Gruntz where you warp in Bare-handed and pick up Gauntletz and (eventually) the GooberStraw. The trick is to break Crystalz in an order that revealz:

• can of Zap Cola
• bottle of Zap Cola
• bottle of Zap Cola
• nothing
• Beach Ball

after that you break Crystalz that do not contain TimeBombz until there are three Goo Puddlez (separate, not one on top of the other anywhere!) and a Sword Grunt with half health. It doesn't make any sense to try further if there cannot be four Goo Puddlez to suck up, or if there are two friendly Sword Gruntz (even half health) or one Grunt with full health ... you cannot win!

You should really start over, as you should not be giving any Toyz to enemy Gruntz until much later ... and some Toyz are first 'relayed' to your own Grunt(z) before ever being given to an enemy Grunt.

[Gaby]

thank you GooRoo... so I did... I'm now at part 20 that contains multipuzzelz and board tilez... I'v got 2 new gruntz waiting in the oven... on my way to fight the bodeletemeng enemy...

[Gaby]

I'm stuck at e4 (bootz+gokart) on PS ... BPz are blocking the way... there is a creation pad, but it is blocked too... I've got 2 gruntz at f2 (shovelz and barehanded)on PS... at G1 (gooberz) on PS...at g3 (sponggunz) on PS anf on c7 (gooberz) on PS too... the bridge is completed... 2 of 4 sponggunz at f3 were on the BOTS (they are goo now)... all the OPz are lowerd exept at f4 and all the BPz are up - blocking the BW... what to do now and with who...... please help

[GooRoo]

This is the place where most solverz will scratch their head(z). You have two fully-baked Gruntz in the oven, if you have done everything correctly thus far. One of them enterz the game in the middle of those Black (raised!) Pyramidz, and will be given a Shovel. Look around for another GruntCreationPoint where a new Grunt may be of some use to you ... perhapz far, far away ... but near a square you have already visited.

[Gaby]

that I tried... I gave the shovelz to the new created grunt at e1... at e4 it's no use... I think ...

but as I maped this area I found out that shovelz can not fill the 2 holes next to the BOTS without getting trapped... so there is a need for another grunt to aid... ... now I'm totaly confused

That is exactly what you need to do.

Why would Shovel be trapped?

so there is a need for another grunt to aid... ... now I'm totaly confused

The other Grunt will release the (new) Shovel Grunt from its prison. Just find out where to create it.
