ok I had to re-play the level, & this is how I did it. After I got both Stinky & Qookie past the blue gate I had Qookie stand on the top box, while stinky stayed to the left by the gate, Qookie pushed the middle two boxes into the water,making a bridge & stinky pushes the last box up to qookie then stinky goes down to the water by the keys and stands to the far right, next to the wall by the z-bot room, Qookie then pushes the box down to the water, switching back & forth between characters position the box to get the keys.. you should still have the box in the trees & the box up at the top. I then used 1 box (is doesn't matter which box) to get into the z-bot room again switching back and forth between charaters to get the box into position. I moved stinky into the z-bot room to collect the keys, watching your timing, you can push the metal box to the left into the path of the z-bots & make them "exit" out over the water blowing them all up... then go up into the hedges and collect the coin, push the metal box through the hedges, going back & getting the last box, push it into the z-bot room up through the hedges & Bingo you've made your way to the star.

I've never written a detailed "solution" like this before I hope it's as clear as mud :wink: :wink: If you need more help let me know & I'll try and be more specific.

P.S. I've never figured out what the green teleporter & ice patch are for, I think it's a decoy, trying to confuse you ...... anyway it did me :wink: :lol: :lol:

Good Luck

I guess my problem is I can't get 3 boxes in the first body of water. I'm not sure of how to save the one box without the canon blowing it up. Thx for your help Laura

I'll help you with that, but give me about an hour, I have to get Emily off to school, before I can play... :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

a quick hint you have to use quick fingers & good timing :wink:

I'm assuming you can get the first 2 boxes in the water? To get the 3rd box you need to leave Stinky on the right side of the blue gate all the way down by the tree, & Qookie on the left side of the gate directly below the timer button with 1 box on Qookies left side,. Then watching your timing from the cannon fire walk Qookie up over the timer , then down and around the left side of the box pushing it to Stinky who then pushes it up, so Qookie can once again walk over the timer and push the last box into the water


Make sure after Qookie pushes the box through the gate to Stinky, you remember to move Qookie back to the left out of the way of the gate , or you will blow her up :wink:

I hope this helps, if not let me know I'll try again.

I must be dumb as a stump..I just don't understand how I can get the 3 boxes on the outside of the gate inside the gate. On my very first move I have Stinky push the box into the way of the canon fire. I can't figure out any way of getting all 3 boxes to the other side of the gate... :?

your not a dumb stump... some of these levels are difficult, & some are so easy the answer is right in front of you but your looking to hard. :wink:
I couldn't have gotten through most of this game without help from others on the forum.

First of all make sure your sound is on when the level starts, because you have to start moving Stinky immediatly after you hear sound "creaking" sound of the gate, on my computer the image isn't even completely loaded & I hear the sound. Stinky is standing on a timer for the gate so, in 1 continous movement you will move Stinky to the left through the gate, up through the opening in the hedges, pushing a box (you can't see) into the water, so you can grab the coin & move Stinky back through the hedges, to where he started. This is the trickest part of this level, you need quick fingers & GREAT timing.

See the below attachment, I think this will explain it all
Once you accomplish this, the rest of the level should be a piece of cake .

Sorry, I guess I misunderstood where you were stuck, so I gave you instructions for the entire level.

Good Luck

Forever lost

I really appreciate your help Laura but I don't think I'm clear in the problem I'm having....the top left box is the one I'm having problems with...How can I get this through the gate without blowing it up...I can't figure out how to get the middle boxes in the lake without using this one..Many sleepless nights over this and I know its probably something simple....Thx again Laura...

Hi Shad,

You need to be very fast to avoid that box from blowing up. You have to wait for the cannon to fire, then move the box one square left, run around the box with Stinky, push the box right through the gate and into the water and get Stinky back on the left hand side of the gate.

Btw...If you save your images as .jpg instead of .bmp they will be a lot smaller in filesize, but still in excellent quality.

Hi Laura,

Nothing to be :oops: about :lol:

I'm guessing you use Paint (the following will be the case in a lot of picture edit programs). If you click on "file" -> "save as" you choose the folder (at the green arrow) and the filename (at the red circle). Use the pop-down menu (red arrow) to make the file format .jpg.

The image below takes up 1.02 MB in .bmp format, but only 48.99 KB in .jpg format.

thanks Mette, I'll try the the next time. :D

Shad, I'm really sorry, When I read you first post I assumed, you had figured out how to move the 1st three boxes to build the bridge, I think you said you were always 1 box short from reaching the star. I don't know how I got so off track trying to help you, I guess I didn't realize you were stuck in the begining :oops: :oops: . Mette has the correct answer for you, and it does take fast fingers & good timing. Once you get past this part you should have a pretty easy time of the rest of the level, since I've laid that all out for you :oops: :wink: :shock: :D

I'm sorry I misunderstood you, I guess I get the "stump" award. :wink: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I had difficult time with this one as well. After you zip in & out of the blue gate, the actual first step...this is what I did, for the 1st Wood Box, hope this helps!

Once you hit the timer for the gate you have about 6 seconds before the gate will come back on. Likewise with the cannon, there is about 5 seconds between each shot.
