Mmmm! I've got through the maze - not sure how but I did it - been backwards and forwards through the doors and got the Pow magic. Just wondering now if it is at all possible to Pow the giant freezeflower. I've tried from all angles and just keep getting frozen. Or am I just supposed to unfreeze the wizard and get him to stand on the blue button. I know it raises tiles round the flower but not sure why. Do I have to get up close and personal with it before I can Pow it?

Unfreeze Doondilf first, then POW the fireflower. It's not a requirement to do so, but it's much easier if you get as close to the iceflower as possible.
The iceflower is pretty relentless. Stand next to it and wait until it bends back, then step away before you get frozen. Now you should have enough time to POW that thing... six times in a row, actually! Thankfully, it can't fire if you keep POWing it, so just fire six times in a succession... that should be enough.

Rest in peace, Kym. I hardly knew ya.
Rest in peace, Marinus. A bright star, you were ahead of me on my own tracks of thought. I miss you.

Thanks for the tip Muzo. I have Pow it over and over but must not have been close enough or done it enough times in a row. Now I think about it, wasn't there something on WA1 or WA2 that had to be Pow'd multiple times to kill it?
I will try again later, worn out now from all the sliding about.

In WA, the first gigantic fireflower required 3 shots to kill. I think there was something similar on one of the "Blast'Em!" levels, too.
Other than that, no, I'm not aware of enemies with more than 1 HP in the WA games.

Killed the flower this morning although it did take me a few tries as I kept running out of Pow. I had a job unfreezing the wizard the second time too, after I'd killed the flower. I had to Pow him several times before he thawed out. Was it supposed to be like that or was it just me not doing it right?
I also found a sort of glitch while popping in and out of the doors. While sliding to one door I got frozen but still went through the doorway and popped out the other door unfrozen and able to carry on. Has that happened to anyone else?

The wizard got frozen "in-between" tiles. That sometimes happens with brr and then there's no clear visual indication of what tile to pow. This is just an unfortunate aspect of how the game engine works.
The door trick was discovered by our beta team, but it was left unfixed. In addition, if you try to use the same doorway again, you'll find it blocked by your invisible "frozen afterimage".

Hello Mette
yes I do diagonal moves horizontal etc. but I all ways just miss the pow
I think I figured out if I get out of the second door to the left but that is it well back to the game lets see if I can find another route
But its driving me crazy so close and just not there
Have a good journey and a nice day

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 door
re-enter the paired door, and you're at the door you want. slide SE to cross over the pow (then, if you like, quickly west, south west, to hide behind the frozen wizard)
you may now be frustrated that the rest of the room is red herring central

I made myself a map of the doors and which one you would come out of depending on which one you went in. Basically, going in a clockwise direction I numbered the doors 1, 3, 2, 4, 4, 1, 2, 3. So if you go in the leftmost #1 you'll come out top right #1 and so on. Working from that you need to get onto the blue round button the other side of the wizard and then slide diagonally up and right to the side of door #1, then straight down, diagonally up right into door #3, then when you come out of the other door #3 go diagonally down right and 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 of the other #4 go diagonally down right picking up the pow on the way and then immediately left and back to where you started.
I found it difficult to go straight to the blue button without getting frozen so I took the long way round and first started from the tile left of the button, went left through door #1, out and back in the other #1 and then right onto the blue button before starting the path described above. This way it confused the flower so I didn't get frozen.
It all sounds very complicated but I don't think there's a quicker way to get the pow and avoid all the water holes. Good luck.

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:
by down "down-left" from the tile left of the button. then straight up and on as you say. made me a little sad that I had taken the long waypopo wrote: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 of the other #4 go diagonally down right picking up the pow on the way and then immediately left and back to where you started.

Popo Is right there is no definite way to get to the maze
you will get trough it eventually
with the sliding is written above You just step on the second tile of the left
go diagonally down
Go up in the door
Go into that same door and you will get out at the first door go diagonally
to get the fireflower
Go back trough the same door and down
then right behind the stinker unfreeze him
go close to fireflower before he shoots you shoot him 6 times
if there is more to the level tell me because I will do it again I am anyway in star town with the one whom sends you back in time
Have a nice day

I did that because that's where the wizard looked like he went, but I was still in the maze. It took me about 7 or 8 moves to get through. Going right, up, left, up, right, up, and so on in a zig zag sort of pattern. I think as long as you don't go backwards at any point you will hit on the combination that's takes you through.
