Hey Mark,

I sent you a PM. I think I have this level almost figured out, so hold the hint!

There certainly were a lot of set-ups involved in this level and some close timing with a certain gate, not to mention the z-bot move. :evil:

Good challenge Mark! :D

Thanks,

This is too big a challenge for me Mark. I've been trying on and off for days and can only do a bit here or a bit there but it doesn't come together into a coherent solution.

I'll wait for the walkthrough. 8)

Hi Liz,
It's a bit early for a walk-through, but here is a hint I gave Anne that may help you.

Hint:
Place the cannon on the light-blue button.

You're right about it being too early for spoilers Mark - you only posted the level yesterday! :lol: :lol: It just seems to me like I've been trying it for days because I keep going back to it.

I haven't tried that way of doing it, so I'll see ... hmmmmmm 8)

Finally had some time to get this one and yes the set ups were real humdingers and a doozie too :lol: ...As I knew it would be after the first glance of the level.
Always a fantastic challenge Mark, Thanks! :)

Solution

Thanks to Marinus for providing the solution. :D
1. Step R through TP, jump D and push cannon U. Step D and go twice through TP (L and U, jumping L)

2. Push cannon 2 L and 2 R, and travel U again. Go through white TP to push boulder L, and push lower boulder R to cannon. Travel D and push boulder U (on travelator) and L, and travel D again.

3. Jump R, activate blue timer, and push barrel R. Go D through TP, jump D and push barrel U. Go twice through TP like before.

4. Push cannon 2 L and 1 R, U (on travelator) and 3 L over the icecurves.

5. Boulder U and L. Immediately jump R and stand on timer. Boulder D to destroy steelbox. Jump L (Same moves like before). Cannon R, and back all the way L and U on lightblue button.

6. Go over 2-way conveyor, slide D inside barrel. Get coin, push barrel D over ice and go all the way U (inside barrel). Push barrel all the way R.

7. Jump D to white timer and when kaboom is bottom-right, push barrel D in water. Go through white TP to push boulder L in gate.

8. Next time the gate opens, go L, D through TP, and twice again through TP to push sphere and boulder R over tramp on coin, and follow.

9. Travel D, go through TP, and when the kaboom goes back home, jump UL, and travel U.

10. At the moment the kaboom is 2 D, 1 L of the white timer going L, jump D to that timer (kaboom will be killed in gate and destroy reflector).

11. Jump R to blue timer, get coin and push barrel D through TP and D over tramp. Go back through TP and push barrel D in water. Get coin between the right walls. Jump D and get coin in green timer area.

12. Activate white timer and quickly get last coin, (which will let barrel go left) and push barrel U through gate before it closes.

13. Push barrel 3 L next to icecurve, and after the cannon shoots, push barrel L and all the way U to cannon, and step R.

14. Get bonuscoin, avoiding z-bot, and exit.

Thanks, Marinus, for the walkthrough. I had it all except for the timing of the boomer.

Mark, yet another great level. Can't wait for your next one. Thanks for all that you have given to the forum!

Thanks for the walkthrough Marinus - I wouldn't have been able to complete this one without it! :D

And Mark - that was yet another tour de force of timing, complex moves, and ingenuity.

Ace level! :piratesmile:
