Well, I finally made it across the toggle bridge, only to have to make my way through the OP'z, and then get stuck..... Is this part timed? Do I have to go through the OP'z and get to the BOTS before the ball doez? No way.....  |

The orange pyramid thing isn't timed so take your time. Also, though the ball will travel for a while, it will stop eventually. Just focus on the orange pyramids and the rolling balls in the next section.
If you can't even get to the zap cola (without even getting the coin) I am unsure of what the problem is; you should have had some health left which ever route you took. To get the coin through the spikes you will have had to conserve as much health as possible, which means going through that spikes part in the beginning the correct way.

I die on the spikez after the YHS+GHS... how can I conserve power?... |

Most people get it when I mention there's another way, but if you may have a mental block and that's fine too. Move your grunt to behind the dollar tree in the beginning. You shouldn't have to step on any spikes to get there. Then move that grunt down, stepping on two spikes in the process. Then on the way back, take the same path only in reverse. Your grunt should have 4/5 of his health left or enough health that he will stay alive after 7 more spike-group steps. (A spike-group is one that causes him to lose 1 increment of health)

I made the mistake of walking up the the BOTS after the OP puzzle, so I have to restart. Working every day this week, so I will have to wait on this one for now....
Gaby, keep going...perhaps I will catch up to you soon! Good Luck! [img src=https://gooroosgruntz.info/emoticons/wave.gif[]

it's not a mistake... you should be walking up to the BOTS after the OP puzzle... |

 I don't understand: If I walk up to the BOTS, after the OP puzzle, then the black pyramid goez up and the ball will break. I am stuck again on the second toggle bridge....that will take awhile to figure out the sequence again.... There are two black pyramidz to the right after the OP puzzle...what do I do about those?

after you break the large dice you step on the YHS and release the RR (8 ball)... (the ball will travel for a while and stop on a two-way-arrow)... you pass the second toggle bridge and wait near the two-way-arrow to change and go upstairz to the OSz ... step on some to see which does what to open a path through the OPz... then go upstairz to the 8-ballz+arrowz area and step on the 2 BOTS ... that lowers the BPz near the green machin and lets you pass to the next area where you go over spikez and break some dicez... good luck...  |

You know, I never noticed that stairway before...!
That's how it is when you play Gruntz....you learn something new every time!
Thanks, Gaby!

You could also use the method from Salta! Salta! Salta! in here, that is much easier and the way it was intended to be done  |

you mean by using the third grunt?... I tried that too... ... |

I did it... I'm now near the toggle bridge... 
...what's the trick with the OPz... 
... I walk between the OSz to find a path through the OPz... 
... is there a way to save power...
