Walk-through (a)

Gruntz What to do, what to do?!?
1 Bare-handed There are two different Toolz within easy reach. Which one is immediately the most useful? Well? Go pick it up and use it!
1 Boomerang
Tool #1
Those enemy Gruntz are not very friendly ... to each other!
Do you think they will "pal up" to you? No way!
So turn the winner(z) into four Goo Puddlez .
Then go get the other Tool, and put it to good use.
1 GooberStraw
Tool #2
You'll be using a Tool very much like this one several timez, so figure out what it doez. Go around the area, sucking up Goo Puddlez , and collecting experience pointz. When the Goo Well is full, and a new Grunt is baked, introduce him into the game where he can immediately do the most good.
Then go in search of another Tool, since this one has outlived its usefulness.
2 SpongeGun
Tool #3
You enter the game, and are immediately armed.
Pump it up, and take pot shotz at every enemy Grunt within reach, like the two crazed onez and the big, ugly one .
_1_Gauntletz
Tool #4
You break a Cupcake and pick up a Coin and notice a Black Pyramid is lowered .
So you break another Cupcake and see another Coin on a Secret Switch ... that you want to pick up.
Have you SAVEd recently? (Now is a very good time to do so.)
If you are quick, you cross the temporary Bridge ... ... to reach a place where there are more Cupcakez ... but breaking them is made just a bit difficult because the air is filled with lead!
You break three of them, some which contain thingz, and break the two enemy Gruntz down into quivering Goo Puddlez .
With the air 'purified', you notice that there are two Toolz within reach. Which one is immediately the most useful? Well? Go pick it up and use it!
_1_GooberStraw
Tool #5
Now an expert on the use of this Tool, you have the Goo Well ... half(!) ... full.
So you pick up the other Tool and whatever else you find. Surprising!
