Walk-through

Gruntz What to do, what to do?!?
1 Bare-Handed
  • Enterz surrounded by Silver Pyramidz (SPz), a Black Pyramid (BP) and Rock Crystalz ... fortunately, right next to a pair of Gauntletz (Tool #1).
1 Gauntletz
  • You break three little Rock Crystalz revealing:
    • a Silver Timer Switch (STS) ... that you cannot reach
    • a Black One-Time Switch (BOTS) and
    • a Red Hold Switch (RHS)
  • You step on the RHS and hear an explosion nearby while you are picking up Coin #1 .
  • You step on the BOTS, pick up Coin #2 and break another small Rock Crystal revealing a SpongeGun (Tool #2) atop a Secret Switch (SS).
  • Nothing left to break, so you pick up the SpongeGun .
1 SpongeGun
  • Shoot the nearest enemy grunt , then the one slightly further away. (They put their Toolz to work ... for you!)
  • You can now reach the STS, so you step on it, pick up Coin #3 and make your way through the Silver Pyramidz .
  • An enemy grunt throwz something at you while you are a'mazing, so you shoot him ... you duck ... and you shoot him again ... onto an Arrow where he is in for a long ride.
  • You pick up the Shovel (Tool #3) and put it to work.
1 Shovel
  • The first Mound you dig up revealz another STS and Coin #4 .
  • Been there, done that, so you just watch what happenz, but make no move to go back through the maze.
  • The next Mound you dig up revealz another BOTS and Coin #5 .
  • Mound #3 just yieldz Coin #6 .
  • Mound #4 just yieldz Coin #7 .
  • Mound #5 just yieldz Coin #8 .
  • Mound #6 just yieldz a Bottle of Zap Cola . Thirsty?
  • Then you pick up Coin #9 from a used-up SS .
  • Further south, you dig up another Mound #7 and pocket Coin #10 .
  • An enemy grunt tried to take revenge on another enemy grunt by breaking a Giant Rock Crystal


    revealing ... arrowz(!)
    and a Secret Switch (SS) with a Coin.


  • That enemy grunt you "sent packing" still likez to throw thingz, so you just run over him.
  • Finally, you dig up Mound #8 to reveal another BOTS and Coin #11 .
  • Then you dig up Mound #9 to reveal another BOTS and Coin #12 .
  • It is time to get the Coin #13 on the Secret Switch .
  • Cross the temporary bridge toward the southwest.
  • Turn two enemy gruntz into Goo
  • Break seven small Rock Crystalz. Oh! That's right! You don't have any Gauntletz. Then you had better dig something up!
  • Digging up four Moundz revealz:
    • Three Timebombz ... which blow up two Rock Crytalz each and reveal two Coinz.
    • One Coin Coin #14 atop a BOTS.
  • Pick up the six Coinz (#15, #16, #17, #18, #19 & #20) .
  • Pick up the gooberstraw (Tool #4).
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 mainland.
  • Suck up 2 more Goo Puddlez (4 of 4).
  • The Goo Well is full, so a new Grunt (#2) is baked.
  • Find a path through the Arrowz toward the north. Perhapz that Bottle of Zap Cola would be appreciated now.
  • Continue north where you may suck two more Goo Puddlez (2 of 4).
  • Next, get the Coin #21 on the Secret Switch .
  • Cross the temporary bridge toward the northwest.
  • Turn two enemy gruntz into Goo
  • Break seven small Rock Crystalz. Oh! That's right! You still don't have any Gauntletz. Why don't you pick up that Shovel (Tool #5) you see? Then you had better dig something up ... fast!

  • Now, get the Coin #33 on the Secret Switch .
  • Cross the temporary bridge toward the southwest.
  • You have a small decision to make:
