500LIZM - The 500 Islands

Finally the Fab Four will get together again.

As this is my 500th level, it's HUGE. :shock: :o :shock:
But it's pretty easy. 8)

Using my Desertisland texture used many times before.

I'm using a new model set assembled from Popo's Stonehenge model she made for Lillie some time ago, plus her Easter Island model and palm tree. Thanks for your constant help with models Pauline! :D This set also includes a waterfall by JanetGalle. Thanks so much Janet! :D

It's worth doing AltX and keypad numbers to zoom out and see the whole level. If you don't use the models you're really missing out.

Above all, have fun! :piratesmile:

EDIT: I've split Qookie and Peegue's puzzles into another level if you want to practise that part. Look lower down the page to download.

Liz you have been a inspiration to me since the day I joined this forum and started designing levels.
I want to say thank you for all your fantastic work and hours, days, months, and years of puzzling pleasure.

Congratulations on no 500, Liz! :D :D

Like all of your others (as far as I played them, at least), a beautiful level! And thankfully it really wasn't that hard once you've got past the beginning. I still had to restart at least a dozen times, but it didn't spoil the level, luckily. :D

Thanks for your great compositions, and also for being such a kind and patient player. :roll:

Lukas :D

Thank you all for your lovely comments! :D :D
See you next week Rose! 8) :D


I should have thought of this earlier. I've elminated Stinky and Loof from the level so that you can practise Qookie and Peegue without having to go through all the first part too many times.

Lots of fun adventures getting the foursome home but I'm certain I handled the area around the white tps incorrectly. :(

Thanks for another great level Liz! :D

Congratulations Liz for your 500th level.

The level itself, though a bit long, is straight forward and fun.

Thanks.

5-0-0!

How do you jump to the boat in the first part. I can't get past that to get started. I have the Z bot going over the red switch. Thanks

Don't jump - walk! I hope you did not earlier waste a certain box.

I tried that also but can't move the boxes around to do that. I need help moving the box into place. Thanks

Annie,

Don't move that box in the upper right until the very last thing.

Jump
R,R,D then tramp over the wall to push the box D through the TP - then follow.

Finally hunkered down and completed this masterpiece Liz...Well worth the time to sort thru.
The models from Janet and Popo were put to great use and looked fantastic.
The level was a great assortment of puzzles on a grand scale with the stickies giving me the most trouble.
Looked great using the alt-x feature.
Thanks for the fun and level, carry on! :) :) :)

I finally managed to get more time for Wonderland and decided to try out your big 500. :D

And wow, it IS huge. This should give me something to munch on for a while.

Be back later...

Yes! Got 'er finished. I thought I was going to have to let go of getting all at home at once. But I took my time and gave it one more try and got the gold. Another challenging and beautiful to look at level, Liz.

Again, Happy 500!

Excellent fun, Lizzie.
Got Stinky's and Loof's part pretty quick but was stuck with Qookie. For a long time I thought she had to do the part with the barrels and yellow TP because she could float to that island :roll:
After lots of useless attempts Peegue came to the rescue.
Finally got my gold :stinkyhappy:

I still don't know what made Peegue's roundabout stop :? :lol:

by Liz Mayhew
Thanks all for playing. :D :D :D

Lutz - I should have carefully plugged the gap so Qookie couldn't float to Peegue's area. Still she couldn't do anything useful there.

Mahaloof! Great to see you on the forum after all this time. Come back soon please!

Liz, congratulations and thanks for 500 levels! :D Great level.

I agree:
- It's huge
- The models are beautiful
- It's worth to zoom out with Alt-X

But only one thing is still a complete riddle to me: What do you exactly mean with: "pretty easy"? :shock: :shock: :lol:

I also had about all the same problems as the other people: Wasting a box, sending Qookie the wrong way and doing the white TP area different, but after a long time I think I could play the whole level.

Thanks! :D

I think it's been long enough now, so here is the complete walkthrough for anyone who wants it:

500LIZM – The 500 Islands
WALKTHROUGH

1. Stinky: Step down and jump up. Push top box L in water, and lower box D. Push right box D onto conveyor and follow. Push box R over tramp and it will land in the water. Tramp R, R, U. Collect coins and activate red gate to bring z-bot to the top alley. When z-bot goes left, quickly step left and down. Tramp R, R, D to get bonus in cave. Tramp U over wall and push box D through red TP and into water. Ride raft around the top right area, collecting coins and finishing at the palm tree by the cannon.
2. Walk up and tramp up into the cave. Push left box D into water and right box R over tramps. Go back to the raft and ride up to collect the coin on the island. Leave the raft there. Walk round to the top of the pond and tramp down onto the raft. Collect coins and ride U, R, D, R. Push cannon 1xR and let it smash 2 boxes, then push it 1xR again. Push last box from that row 1xD, step round and wait below and right of the box.
3. Loof: Push box L below break tile, push Stinky’s box D in front of him. Walk round and push the box at the bottom of the pond U into the water and walk back to wait on the break tile. Switch back to Stinky.
4. Stinky: Push box round to the bottom of the pond to continue the bridge to the generator island. Walk back to the alcove at the bottom right. Switch to Loof.
5. Loof: Push box round to continue bridge. Walk up to the top right raft and ride down to the palm tree to push the cannon 1xL. Ride the raft up again and push cannon all the way down to Stinky. Switch to Stinky.
6. Stinky: Push cannon L to blow up right side box. Collect coins and push last box up to complete the bridge. Generator starts. Collect bonus coin and push cannon up to bonus coin spot, using the little island to avoid cannon fire. Go and stand in the bottom right alcove again. Switch to Loof.
7. Loof: Walk to raft near reflector. Ride L, R, D. Push reflector 1xR and all the way D to Stinky. Then get back on raft to ride L, U, L, D, L, U to wait by the green spheres. Switch to Stinky.
8. Stinky: Push reflector below cannon to keep the green timer activated. Take care to avoid cannon fire from reflector. Jump L over lower left tramp. Push the sphere U, take the coin and push it U again. Ride the raft L. Switch to Loof who can now go through the gate and ride his raft L.

9. Switch to Qookie: Tramp D over red sphere and push it U. When it bounces back down, go left and push the pink cube L to cover the pink button. Don’t take the coin there. Push the sphere in the pyramid R, which sends the top sphere R to bring the raft L. Walk round, take coin push sphere L. Walk back to tramp at left side of pyramid and tramp L which lands you on the breaktile near the pink cube. Push sphere up and when it lands in the water, follow it. Take bonus, ride R, D to get bonus in pink cube. Ride U and go through tunnel to get bonuses at top. Ride L and get time and bonus, quickly running back to raft.
10. Ride D, L, U, R. Get bonus from cave when z-bot goes right. Get extra time from lower caves. Ride L, D, R to shark infested waters. Ride U, R and push the boulder R thru TP. Ride L, R, D, R and push the boulder U thru TP. Follow and push cannon L thru TP. Leave it to do its work and ride R, collecting all coins and leaving the raft parallel to the ice cube. Push ice cube L, U. Use raft to help push it R to get the bonus coin. Ride back to the green TP and go L through it to push the cannon 1xL. Ride down and wait on sign.
11. Switch to Peegue: Barrel in water, travel all the way R collecting coins etc. At the last tramp jump R, U to land on sign. Then ride down and do nothing until you land on the yellow timer. Quickly push the barrel D in the water and wait on the island for explosion. When safe step on yellow timer and go into kaboom room to push the boulder D and get out, stepping on the timer again. The kaboom blows up the last barrel. Step on timer again and push the yellow sphere L, quickly following. Step on timer again, yellow sphere U and L thru TP, step down. Go right again and push boulder onto blue button.
12. Down thru white TP. Push the pink sphere L thru TP and follow to push it 1 further. Back thru TP and push boulder L to block it. Through TP into the coin area. Push left pink cube U below TP. Push right pink cube U beside it to block TP. Go L and ride raft U. Push lower pink cube and boulder R into water. Repeat with upper. Collect coin and ride D. Push steel box 1 down. Push boulder R and walk L to tramp R, R and push the box U left of the ice to block the boulder.
13. From where you are standing, tramp L, D, L, L to land on coin. Push cube/boulder D into water. Tramp R, R, R. Take coin, push prisms into water and raft R. After cannon fire push barrel R and ride back quickly to hide behind the wall. When the prisms have blown ride R again. Walk up to the remaining 3 prisms and push the left one 1xD and 2xR. Step up. The last prisms are blown and the cyan gates open. Avoiding cannon fire collect remaining coins from Stonehenge and exit.
14. Qookie, Stinky and Loof can now exit too.
