New Level - A Series of Unfortunate Events *

This Wonderland Classic level was originally planned for the Anniversary Contest.
Though after completing it, I decided it was too obvious who the designer was. :wink: Mark123

I'm sorry to tell you, but it's the CLASSIC wonderland which has it's 5 year anniversary contest, so only CLASSIC items could be used, not even deluxe.
We really need a list of items for anniversary contest.

And as usual, I'm stuck! :lol:
Loved the barrel trick (ingenious) but I have trouble holding the white button open. I need the z-bot on the blue button for that, but alas, he gets destroyed in the white gate. :cry:

I'm stuck too.

I got a lot further than with most of your levels Mark, but I must be doing it completely wrong.

I've got everything except the 2 coins behind the 2 white gates. I got rid of the barrel by the exit too! Can't cover the white button because of the sad demise of a certain party! :cry:

I'm at the same point too. :roll:

Here's a hint:
Be sure not to use the barrel to destroy the chomper.

Here's where I'm stuck...I'm ready to cover everything I need to but I have one item that needs to be destroyed and I can't see a way to do it because it's sitting between the yellow and green buttons and the top left keg is just waiting for an explosion :lol: haven't given up yet but I'll take a hint :wink:

edit: never mind, I think I see the way, maybe.

I already know your hint. It's covering the white button that has me stumped! :twisted: If I cover the white button then I can't get out because the blue gate is closed.
And I do NOT use a barrel for destroying the chomper.

I realized my mistake, I thought I needed to do something twice...but I didn't! :D

:D :D :D This was another of your most excellent misdirection levels, Once I quit dong what it looks like one should do I made some progress and finally was doing the har har dee har har along with Bob.
Thanks to the master of misdirection. :D :D :D

Another excellent puzzle, Mark! For me it was taking a leap of faith, and then everything else came together. As usual, don't ever do the obvious! :lol:

Thanks!

Bob was very kind to PM me a hint, and I felt silly for not realising that.
However, the cyan button AND destroying the barrel near the exit got me stumped! :roll:
If I don't cover the white button all is fine except for the two coins behind the white gates. :roll:
If I do cover the white button then I have no way of getting a box to the cyan button, let alone destroying the barrel. :roll:

Thanks to a PM from Bob I finally realised the error of my way and was home free.
Turns out I didn't move a certain box out of the gen room when I was supposed to! :wink:

:shock: Good thing I didn't enter this level in the contest.
I do not own the original Wonderland so I have no idea which items were added in the Deluxe version.
Perhaps Robyn or Monica will post which items can be used for the Classic Anniversary Competition.

Don't worry about the contest until it's posted gang :D No rules are set in stone and I think you all will be pleasantly surprised when the contest is announced :D

Brilliant level, Mark - as are all of yours 8)
Took me a long time to find the not-obvious way to get further step by step.
Excellent fun and a very satisfying gold star. Thanks :D

You know, I went back and looked, and I'm wondering which items Mark used that were not classic Wonderland? It seems everything in there is not from Platinum.

Sorry I said wrong. I didn't mean classic version of RTW, I meant TOW, whcih had no reflectors, no barrels, no chompers, no barrels...

Thank you Bob for providing a walk through.
Here's the video solution for anyone else who may need help:

Excellent Mark! :D :D

I was doing everything right, except when I collected the coin on the white button I went up instead of back again. That stymied the whole solution.

Once I saw that one wrong move, everything was sorted out.

Your levels are always perfection. No false moves possible.

Cool! Stinky went round and round, ordered the mess, collected all coins and came out safely.

I had such a hard time with this one. I kept using the wrong thing for the chomper until I read Mark's hint.

I'd say after 97 tries or so I finally got it!

Another fun twister Mark!

I would never have gotten this without your video. I had the z-bot figured out but not that chomp, I never would have thought to get on the ice that way. Great one Mark.

I was in the same boat as Liz; leaving the white teleporter the wrong way. Got it sorted out thanks to the video. Another clever one Sir Markus!

Finally! The hint about the chomper and the barrel helped me reverse my strategy and I was able to muddle through after many more attempts! I'm happy to say I did not need the video solution for once!

Excellent and tricky level - I was so pleased with myself for working out the bottie and the barrel - but had to come looking for help with moving those metal boxes around! :oops:

Tricky and brill as always - thanks! :D
