I think I will just wait for the release of how to do this one. LOL. I can't see it. I am sure though that you have a little trick up your sleeve for this one. I am very curious.......
EDITED: I got it!!!! After Bob confirmed my thoughts I went back and got it. Thanks for another fantastic level.

No tricks, no glitches (well maybe a little, tiny one but it hardly counts)just a straight 'A' puzzle and a lot of fun!
I wasn't completely sure what to do with the kaboom but he obliged by getting caught in a gate and living up to his name.
Thanks Mark!

Yippee, I got it, I really got it! Once I stepped "outside the box" and took a look at every little thing that could and should be utilized, and with smoke spewing out my ears...I finally got it! Nice level Mark, thanks!!

I know the Muffin Man

and I love that song.
I still haven't seen the light in this level yet. But it looks easy! It's not really easy, yet, but...oh nevermind. Maybe my lightbulb will come on soon. Cross your fingers.

Can I get a small nudge in the right direction RE the Kaboom?
Just a nudge not a shove and I think I should be right.

Small Nudge:
Mr. Kablooey will unlock the gate without the crate.
Medium Nudge:
A barrel of muffins is an ideal stepping stone.
Large Nudge:
Use the yellow wrecking sphere to demolish Mr. Kablooey's steel crate.

Hey Mark, Happy New Year to you too.
This was classic Mark all the way, Nobody does it like you do bud.
I know from experience playing your levels that it pays to look at what you think is obvious then turn the other way and do the not so obvious.
Great fun to sort out, Thanks for the level!

Blindness is not just the province of the old
I blame it on the lack of new years sleep that I didn't figure this one out.
Thanks for a great lvl Mark

No idea with this one Mark.
Even with your hints, I still can't get anywhere.
I guess the New Year party took its toll!
EDIT: Thanks to some great help from the Maestro, I finally got this one done! Excellent puzzle as always Mark. And Keeks is quite right - with your levels, never do the obvious.
Happy New Year Mark!

Well, I believe I have it all figured out but can't grab that last coin and return without a loud KABLAM.
How do you avoid Mr. Kablooey once he is free?

Hide in the alley off Drury Lane. A blue diamond marks the location.

The muffin man had to do a lot of pushing before everything found its place.
Excellent puzzler. Thanks, Mark

Thanks to everyone for their kind comments.
Sorry I wasn't able to respond sooner. Been so busy with work.
Here's the solution for the Muffin Man:
Use the box to roll the sphere left, up to the coin, then left and down across the transporter. Now roll the sphere right and jump over the left wall. Walk through the white gate and jump over the right wall. Push the box right, left and down across transporter. Slide the box right onto the ice. Roll the sphere up and right. Quickly run left, jump over the wall and step down. The sphere will reverse and follow at your heels. Push the sphere up over the trampoline to destroy the box. Push the other box on the yellow button and the barrel in the water. Use the two trampolines to collect the last coin. Stand on the blue button until the Kaboom passes to exit.

Cool! The muffin-man was running all around and sweating, but it didn't take him long to solve this cute puzzle.
