Walk-through
Gruntz	What to do, what to do?!?
1 Bare-handed	Enterz on a bridge tile in a quicksand pit. There is a Coin on a Crumbling Tile to the south, and another to the north, with just a Blue Hold Switch (BHS) beyond it. Go south and pick up Coin #1 then quickly north for Coin #2 then to the BHS. You do not remain there long, because a Red Warp (RW) openz under you, and you are whisked away to a Blue Toggle Switch (BTS). A missile from an enemy grunt is on its way toward you, but you are already gone ... through another RW. You land on something hard ... gauntletz (Tool #1) ... the way to freedom.
1 Gauntletz	You break four little mushroomz revealing some arrowz and you break a big mushroom revealing ... more arrowz(!) and a CheckPoint Switch (CPS). If you don't mind a bit of pain, you can stand on some spikez , and break another large mushroom before you go through the Blue Wormhole. Me? I'm a wimp! I'll take my chancez that there will be another (less painful) opportunity to do that breaking. You land between a rock (er, mushroom) and a hard place (bigger mushroom). Break the small mushroom to reveal a green hold switch with a Coin #3 on it. break the big mushroom revealing ... more arrowz(!) and a Secret Switch with Coin #4 on it. A temporary bridge takez you toward the island to the northwest. You use the megaphone #1 -- boomerang . break the big mushroom revealing ... more arrowz(!) and a Secret Switch with Coin #5 on it. Cross the temporary bridge toward the northwest, and break seven small mushroomz turn two enemy gruntz into Goo pick up the six Coinz (#6, #7, #8, #9, #10 & #11) pick up the gooberstraw (Tool #2).
1 GooberStraw	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 2 Goo Puddlez (2 of 4). Collect the Warp letter on the Purple Multi-Grunt Switch (PMGS). Whoa! That was a trip! Back to the small island. Suck up 2 more Goo Puddlez (4 of 4). The Goo Well is full, so a new Grunt (#2) is baked. Then go through the Blue Wormhole. Hit the ground running, to avoid being struck by a missile from an enemy grunt . Dive through the Blue Wormhole. Cross the lowered green pyramid to pick up the Gauntletz (Tool #3).
2 Bare-handed	GruntCreationPad is on a bridge tile in a quicksand pit. Step lively! You are under fire from an enemy grunt ! It is possible to use too many megaphonez and, thus, lose Toolz and/or Toyz you may need later. Use the megaphone to the southeast (Megaphone #7) -- Gauntletz Use the megaphone to the northwest (Megaphone #2) -- Springz Have you noticed that all of the Toolz are still in the GruntzMachine? (So far, so good!) Dive through the Blue Wormhole. You land on a used-up Secret Switch . The new guy is in a supporting role ... on the Green Hold Switch . He takez the boomerang from the GruntzMachine (Resourcez) ... (Tool #4).
1 Gauntletz	Breakz a mushroom , revealing a Yellow Toggle Switch (YTS) with a Coin (#12) on it. Movez on to break another mushroom , revealing a Green Hold Switch with a Coin on it ... which he takez (Coin #13) . While he is standing there, breaking another mushroom , revealing a Yellow Hold Switch with a Coin on it ... Boomerang Grunt crossez the lowered green pyramid . He takez the Coin (#14) from the Yellow Hold Switch . That startz a Golf Ball rolling (made by a company with a "just in time inventory" plan). It squishez an enemy grunt with a short fuse, blowing up a Giant Mushroom, revealing a CPS .
2 Boomerang	Passez Gauntletz, taking a 'ride' on some Arrowz to a used-up Black One-Time Switch . From there and from one tile away, he usez 'remote control' to dispatch two enemy gruntz . Seeing no further use for the bent piece of wood, he pickz up the Spongegun (Tool #5) ... giving Gauntletz the opportunity to come down and join him.
2 SpongeGun	You survey the area from your new vantage point. You step on an Arrow and 'take a ride' to your CPS and the Coin (#17) on it. Your participation in this puzzle is ended ... right where you are!
1 Gauntletz	You dance around some jumping Golf Ballz break a Giant Mushroom and pick up a Coin (#18) atop a Secret Switch . Cross the temporary bridge toward the southwest, and break seven small mushroomz turn two enemy gruntz into Goo pick up the six Coinz (#19, #20, #21, #22, #23 & #24) pick up the gooberstraw (Tool #6). Did that last bit sound familiar? (It should!)
1 GooberStraw	Go around the area, sucking up 2 Goo Puddlez . Now an expert on the use of this Tool, you have the Goo Well ... half(!) ... full (2 of 4). Collect the Warp letter on the PMGS. The RW landz you near a CPS . Suck up 4 more Goo Puddlez (4 of 4) The Goo Well is full, so a new Grunt (#3) is baked ... and the Goo Well is still ... half(!) ... full (2 of 4). Occupy your CPS and collect the Coin (#25) on it. Your participation in this puzzle is ended ... right where you are!
3 Bare_handed	GruntCreationPad is on a bridge tile in a quicksand pit. Step lively! You are under fire from an enemy grunt ! Dive through the BW to the southeast. You land on a Green Pyramid near the Straw grunt (now retired). You see a path to the east, and take it. "Uh ... a little help here?" You find Gauntletz waiting in the GruntzMachine (Resourcez) and put them on (Tool #7).
3 Gauntletz	You break a Giant Mushroom with a Coin (#26) in the center. Then you break a small Mushroom with another Coin (#27) in it. Standing on a Green Pyramid , you break another Giant Mushroom. There is a Coin on a CPS that doez not belong to you ... but you take the Coin (#28) anyway ... because it is hard to avoid it! You are given no choice, but must next pick up the SuperSpeed item ... before you can break the Giant Mushroom next to it. You pick up the Coin (#29) on the YTS and follow the rolling Golf Ball ... for a while. You need to stop and think how to go through all those jumping Golf Ballz. While you are pondering this problem, you hear "Hallelujah!" and a stairway appearz beside you. Breaking a Giant Mushroom you can understand, and it revealz a Silver Timer Switch with a Coin (#30) on it ... and several (more) Silver Pyramidz . Did I mention there is an enemy grunt tossing thingz your way? Pay attention to what happenz when you move to the only place available (after the stairway disappearz) other than where you had to move. Duck back, when the next missile is on its way, then prove you were paying attention, as you make your way through the Silver Pyramidz maze. You make it through, and are (probably) pelted by another missile from another enemy grunt . You break the Giant Mushroom, giving you a little more choice in how to avoid another missile. There is alwayz a Bottle of Zap Cola , if you are a little bit slow in deciding what to do next. (There are two wayz to handle this mini-puzzle.) Either method, you get the Coin (#31) on the Secret Switch in the center, and cross the temporary Bridge to the island to the northeast. Break a Giant Mushroom and pick up a Coin (#32) atop a Secret Switch . Cross the temporary bridge toward the northeast, and break seven small mushroomz. turn two enemy gruntz into Goo pick up the six Coinz (#33, #34, #35, #36, #37 & #38) pick up the gooberstraw (Tool #8). Did that last bit sound familiar? (It should! This is the third time you (the solver) have done this.)
3 GooberStraw	Go around the area, sucking up 2 Goo Puddlez (4 of 4). Now an expert on the use of this Tool, you have the Goo Well ... full! Collect the Warp letter on the PMGS. The RW sendz you back near the Secret Switch that got you here. Suck up 2 more Goo Puddlez (2 of 4). The Goo Well is full, so a new Grunt (#4) is baked. Dive through the Blue Wormhole. You are back to the area with all the jumping Golf Ballz ... and that enemy grunt is still tossing thingz at you! Make your way through the jumping Golf Ballz to suck up some more Goo (4 of 4) and pick up Coin (#39) . The Goo Well is again full, so another new Grunt (#5) is baked. Such up the other Goo Puddlez ... and the Goo Well is still ... half(!) ... full (2 of 4), and collect the Coin (#40) 'guarded' by the rolling Golf Ball . Pick up the dangerous object (Tool #9) ... carefully.
3 Bomb	Find a way to get to the BOTS southwest of you ... dawdle a bit. You collect the Coin (#41) on the BOTS and the way is clear to your CPS . You collect the Coin (#42) on your CPS . Your participation in this puzzle is ended ... right where you are!
4 Bare_handed	GruntCreationPad is on a bridge tile in a quicksand pit. Step lively! You are under fire from an enemy grunt ! Is there anything useful in the GruntzMachine? Like Springz , perhapz?!? Well ... mount up! (Tool #10)
4 Springz	Do you go south, or do you go west? (Go west, young (wo)man.) The Springz had a short, but useful life ... they got you out of the line of fire. You land on a SpongeGun (Tool #11), walled in by Purple Pyramidz .
4 Spongegun	You take a pot shot at the enemy grunt , and send him on his way ... to a PMGS. You're free! Is there anyone else you'd like to shoot? Pick up the Gauntletz (Tool #12)
4 Gauntletz	Go get the Coin (#43) on the Orange Up/Down Switch (OU/DS). Then get the Coin (#44) revealed when the mushroom was broken. Continue through the Orange Pyramidz and break another mushroom , revealing Coin (#45) on an OU/DS. Break a Giant Mushroom, revealing a Secret Switch with a Coin (#46) in the center. Cross the temporary bridge toward the southeast, and break seven small mushroomz. turn two enemy gruntz into Goo pick up the six Coinz (#47, #48, #49, #50, #51 & #52) pick up the gooberstraw (Tool #13). This is the last time you (the solver) will have to do this.
4 GooberStraw	Go around the area, sucking up 2 Goo Puddlez (4 of 4). Expert as you are on the use of this Tool, you have the Goo Well ... full! The last new grunt (#6) is baked. Collect the Warp letter on the PMGS. One Purple Pyramid is lowered (four enemy gruntz are on PMGSz in the four cornerz), so you can pick up the GunHat (Tool #14).
5 Bare-handed	GruntCreationPad is on a bridge tile in a quicksand pit. Step lively! You are under fire from an enemy grunt ! Is there anything useful in the GruntzMachine? Like Springz , perhapz?!? Well ... mount up! (Tool #15)
5 Springz	There is only one way to go ... and leave the quicksand pit. Your short fight leavez you 'behind barz' (er, trapped in Purple Pyramidz ). Is there anything useful in the GruntzMachine? Well ... put them on (Tool #17) ... and break something!
6 Bare-handed	GruntCreationPad is on a bridge tile in a quicksand pit. Step lively! You are under fire from an enemy grunt ! Is there anything useful in the GruntzMachine? Like Springz , perhapz?!? Well ... mount up! (Tool #16)
6 Springz	There is only one way to go ... and leave the quicksand pit. On your way, you stop to use a Megaphone -- Gauntletz . Further on your way, you stop to use another Megaphone -- Shovel . Dive through the last remaining BW. Is there anything useful in the GruntzMachine? Like a Shovel , perhapz?!? Well ... learn how to use it (Tool #18) ... pointy end down!
6 Shovel	You are under fire from that nasty enemy grunt again! Duck a little, dig a little , duck some more. Repeat as often as necessary. One Mound yieldz explosive resultz ... which removez a Giant Mushroom ... and revealz a Secret Switch with a Coin on it. One Mound yieldz a Coin (#53) . One Mound yieldz a Coin (#54) ... on a PMGS. (Gruntz #4 and #5 may move now.)
5 Gauntletz	break the big mushroom revealing ... more arrowz(!) and a BOTS with Coin #55 on it. You step on the Arrow , which takez you to the BOTS. Now you may move to the right across the Intersection Arrow and break something else. That revealz another BOTS and Coin #56 , which allowz you and GunHat to move west. There is a CPS with a Coin #57 calling you, but you see more work ahead, and perform your last task. Break another Giant Mushroom to reveal a YTS with Coin #58 on it. A Rolling Golf Ball is released, but it doez not come into play. Then you go back and light up that CPS. Your participation in this puzzle is ended ... right where you are!
4 GunHat	Standing on the used-up Secret Switch you take a pot shot at the enemy grunt . (Take another, if you hit him, but he lingerz on.) You follow Gauntletz and maneuver past him to weave your way north, to pick up Coin #59 that is waiting on a Green Hold Switch . Finally, get Coin #60 that is sitting on your CPS . Your participation in this puzzle is ended ... right where you are!
6 Shovel	The explosion revealed a Secret Switch with Coin #61 on it. (Your teammatez have been busy, too!) A temporary stairway appearz toward the west, and you move up and past the Mound ... and dig it up, and pocket Coin #62 . Dig up two more Moundz , and pocket Coinz #63 & #64 . Satisfy your CPS with Coin #65 on it, and a CheckPoint Pyramid lowerz . Walk along the Bridge and pick up Coinz #66 & #67 . Dig up a Mound to reveal a Secret Switch with Coin (#68) on it. Temporary Bridge Tilez are raised to allow you to get the Warpstone Piece.
6 Warpstone	Walk along the Bridge and pick up Coinz #69 & #70 . Take the Warpstone to the King.
