don't need to do a "while sliding" trick or a "change direction on brr pad" trick... because you never need to hit the green button. hint: the teleporter to the coin is yellow. the other hint is that lil' stinkers take time to move, and if you command them to do something far away, you can act while...

hint: turtles turn when they bump into objects like coins and keys. these turtles, by the way, are lefties.

(note: you don't have to do red last. last or first doesn't matter since you can go around the teleporters to the fast spikeyball to collect the coin)

My understanding is that the ability to change direction on a falling brr tile by hitting keys really fast is a glitch, not something to be relied on.

Assuming you mean the indigo teleporter to the exit: Just before or after the red teleporter, pop the left/right platform Yellow teleporter, gem Just before the green teleporter, pop the left/right platform After you enter the green teleporter, time your stepping onto the up/down platform so that it...

that's a lot of good work and very similar to my first solution, but if you look at the post above yours, you'll see I later realized that we can skip right to your last step: straight up to the left door #4. When you come out of the other #4 go srtaight back in again and this time when you come out...

step onto the tile just before the green switch island, but step back into the starting island (so that it drops into the water) carefully make your way across the bridge, past the messenger, and into the red tube, where you will hit the green wall. go into the yellow tube (when it's pointing away)....

Interesting, I ended with 986 gems, 152 stars, and 36 coins (obv includes post 142 star gate). All my adventures say X of X, so I must have missed 30 or more lying around the ground?

so just north of frozen wizard, between you and flower, there's a round button with 2 brick tiles next to it. stand on the LEFT/WEST brick tile, go SW, this should put you 2 squares left of the wizard go north, this will cross the arena through the door you want, and come out at that door's paired d...

soooo.... 986 152 36?
