New level - Haunted Waters

[billy bob]

Me and Janellesnip have made another "chain level" and this was the result.

Using "Desert Island" texture found here.

Thanks Liz Mayhew who made this texture.

[Liz Mayhew]

Well you two, this is a total mystery to me.

I can see no way to complete the level, let alone cheat it!
I got all the coins.
I went for a ride on the ghost infested waters.
BUT
How do I get the red gate open?
And if I do how do I get past the evil red guy?

Knowing what a master of glitches BB is, there must be some very clever glitch in operation here.

Thanks for using my texture

[annedanner]

I'm with Liz. May I have some help, please?

[billy bob]

What you do:

Release the Kaboom.

How you do it:

Put a box one above the trampoline put another box two below the trampoline put another box one right of the box two below the trampoline, use the transporter to get that box to release the Kaboom.

[bob roest]

Releasing the kaboom isn't my problem, it's trying to find a red button, I don't see one.

[Muzozavr]

That and the fact that the blue button isn't connected to anything leads me to believe this is a button-gate messup. However, I'm willing to give you the benefit of extreme doubt due to the mastery of glitches billy bob has shown in the past.

Even once you get past that gate, there is the problem of the evil red dude guarding the exit. This is unlikely to be a simple messup, but I don't know how to get past him.

All in all, I have no idea how to beat this level, even if the red gate is changed to blue. You can cover the blue button, but the evil red dude won't let you to exit...

[billy bob]

Redownload the level.

How to defeat the "red dude":

When west of all boulders hold down the right key on your keyboard.

[Muzozavr]

I already found the solution to the red dude myself, gave it a little bit more thought and presto! Nice use of that TheoX boulder trick.

Oh, and thanks for editing the gate color. Now it's the way it should be.

[doodlebug]

I can open the white gate easy but that is it. I just want to know how it is done. I know for me it is impossible. I can't get the blue button covered or release the kaboom. Even with your box instructions I can't get it. Thanks

[Liz Mayhew]

I'm with Annie. I cover the white button with 1 boulder whilst the other 2 end up in the water above the bonus coin. Is this correct?

I'm also not able to cover the blue button.

I got the kaboom released. Annie:

Ride the raft D, U, L, D.
Push middle box U, L in water.
Push lower box U beside box in water.
Push top box L in water and tramp down to lower box to push it right.
Use raft to get it into the water right of the kaboom.

[Muzozavr]

billy bob already posted a spoiler on the boulders and the red dude but here is it again:

Push the leftmost boulder to the right, and DON'T STOP just keep *holding* right. Witness a glitch.

Spoiler on the transporter:

Move down (to get on the transporter) then up and left.

You have to then use the transporter if you want to be able to do anything with the remaining third box, but you don't push into the water ABOVE the Kaboom!. There's a water patch to the right of the Kaboom! and one of those water tiles can be filled instead.

How to cover the blue button:

When the Kaboom! is below the left sphere, push the right sphere down. This "desyncs" them because the left sphere was temporarily blocked. Let the Kaboom! out and push both spheres left.

[Liz Mayhew]

Muzo, I was editing my post at the same time as you were posting.

Thanks for the help with the blue button. I should have realised that!

But the glitch at the end doesn't work. The boulder just ends up on top of the 2 in the water, and Stinky gets shot. If I'm not supposed to push the boulders in the water, how do I cover the white button?

[Muzozavr]

No, the glitch isn't at the end, it's at the beginning!
While you still have *three* boulders in their *exact* position they are at the start of the level... push the leftmost boulder right... then keep holding right no matter how stupid it seems, just keep holding right...

[kiki]

Glad you fixed the button as I was looking for some kind of button glitch, other than that twas a nice level, good job to the both of you.

[Liz Mayhew]

Thanks for all your help Muzo!

Amazing! I didn't think that would work either at the beginning or right at the end.

Very good Janelle & BB! Thanks for the puzzlement

[bob roest]

Thanks for the fix.

A fun level.

[doodlebug]

Got it with Liz's explantion of the boxes. After that it did not seem so complicated. Thanks

Annie

[annedanner]

Yep, I enjoyed it, too, once I knew about the glitch. Thanks for reposting the level, BB.

[janellesnip]

I love being billy bob's partner in creation, because he does most of the thinking, and I still get half the credit! Most of this level's genius belongs, as in the last one, to billy bob.... Pretty much the only thing I did is to give it Liz's texture, and to decide that it was going to have Stinky jumping over a wall, and stinky bouncing onto a transporter.

ps this is my 99th post. I wonder what happens at 100.

[Marinus]

Great level. I read some hints for I knew the trick with the 3 boulders but didn't think of it. Also I didn't know the boulder would go through the exit

Thanks for the fun!
