New Level - At the Beach

This level came from my Z-Bots at the Beach level I did a long time ago. I never really liked that level, in fact, I hated the darn thing! So I decided to revise it with the Deluxe.
Z-Bots are completely gone 
, and most everything else has totally changed except the beach theme!! You will need to figure out what you must do with WHAT! You should have time tho - no monsters popping out at you in unexpected places!
Please let me know if anyone would like any hints, screenshots, etc.

Hi majic1,
This took me an absolute age to complete getting all of the bonus coins as well
***** POSSIBLE SPOILER *****
I very much doubt that I did it the way you intended as I used about 30 boulders and got Qookie out of the 'back door'
I assume you realise that it is also possible to complete the level after having collected just 1 Rainbow and 1 bonus coin
***** END of SPOILER *****
It certainly gave me something unexpected to do this morning and I was really chuffed when I completed it
Thanx,
Malcdelsol

This is true, but a LOT more work that way (AND you get no gold star

) The way it is intended only requires rolling 7 boulders from the generator I think, and it doesn't take a lot of time!

I have just uploaded a new version so you can't make this mistake anymore. I don't think!

This was a great 'thinking' level, my brain had to do some overtime.
Don't want to sound boastful but I completed this two ways.
The first way I didn't need all of the equipment, used a couple more boulders though.
The second way (which was really ingenious majic1) I assume was your intention. I needed everything and used 8 boulders. Don't know why I needed one more than you.
Overall a fantastic revamp of the original, which I also enjoyed btw.
Thanks for such an enjoyable level.
M.A.D.

You only need 7 boulders
from the generator. Maybe you're counting the one that is there at the beginning???

AHA! That's what I was doing.

I don't see how you did that - the boulders would explode in the lava!! Now what am
I not seeing????

You need to stop the boulder before it gets to the lava.
Need any more clues?

I followed Malc to the beach and didn't know it at the time, but I played this his way and ended up with boulders everywhere.
When I finally got to the exit..... I couldn't, and I couldn't go back either.
Now that there are some hints, I will try it again

I've played this a couple o' hundred times, and I ALMOST have it (I think). My problem is the boulder that I use to squash the ponytails thru the transporter doesn't always explode, so I have to start over. Is there a secret to this?
I think I now know what needs to be done at the back end now by the lava pit.
A truly fun level worthy of trying it over and over!

This boulder doesn't need to explode because that is the last boulder you will need! There are items in the first section you need to use for the kegs!

Hmmmmm..... that complicates the issue
If that's the case, I'll have to try a few things that I've never tried before.
So I don't use a boulder to destroy the kegs, eh?
Hmmmmm....
Back to the drawing board.

If anyone out there can tell me exactly what is used to kill those kegs?! I've had this one in my unsolved folder for years now and I just never could see it!

OK, I made this level but it was a race against the clock.

Oh, I see what they meant. I took my chance with the kabooms and made it, but it is also possible to destroy half the top kegs by
pushing a keg back through the teleporter[ from right to left, followed by an ice cube and the other half by
using the 3 reflectors on the rightmost column and a prism in the kaboom area to shoot the kegs.
