Any help solving this level?

Is anyone else having trouble with parts of the game running in a very jerky mode? It's so jerky in some of the puzzles that it's difficult to play at all. Think it's my copy of the game or my computer?

In the Retroworld game Abandoned Box Factory, I get into the section with the turtles at the very lowest left-hand corner, get them into the water, then the green gate goes up and doesn't go back down. I can't figure out where the button is that's doing that. I've watched the video on the Nutters pa...

OK, am I supposed the get the key in the 2nd room before I finish the 3rd room? I get a white key from the 3rd room. Should I go right back to the 2nd room and try for that key between the fires, or wait until I finish the 3rd room? I still don't see how the chomper can get from behind the closed ye...

Sorry, but I don't understand what you mean??

Plus, when I'm standing in the teleporters I can manage to blow up one barrel, but only one, and it's not the one in the center.

It is hard to explain, isn't it. . . lol When I go across the water on the left for the first time, I've left the center barrel unexploded (the one south of the blue gate), because otherwise I run out of pows to get to the right and left to kill the fireflowers and still have one shot left to get th...

I keep reading people saying they can use the orange power to blow up some of the barrels on the left while standing on the orange glove. I can't hit a single barrel from there--too many obstacles. What is my problem?? Then when I finally get the explosive barrels blown up, the 4 fireflowers in the ...

Great tip! Made it that far! Thanks!

Sigh. . . I actually have tried (on a separate save) to do just that, but have no clue how to actually make it happen. They both just go in circles. Guess I'll have to just keep at it.

Apparently I'm the only one still having trouble getting across to the area on the west that has all those barrels. I have the turtle going back and forth across the teleporter buttons, but can't get him out of there to walk back and make a bridge for me. Help!

Never mind!! Duh. . . I watched what was happening with the spy eye and saw my mistake!!

OK, Loirae, I appreciate so much your tips about the crab and the red button at the very beginning of the level. However, my spikey comes out of the orange gate and goes right into the water without tripping the timer button for the flip bridge. I've scared the crab into the small square of water ne...

Wow, oh, wow, what a level that is. . . how does someone think up these things? lol Thanks to your video, Salin, I finally finished it. I could have lived to be 150 and never done it on my own! You're the best!!

I can see videos on youtube, so I'll check for salin09. Thanks for this tip! Also, I'll try your suggestion and see if I can get the crab going in the right direction. Thanks!!

OK, I'm ready to quit and cheat out of this one. I've read all three pages of hints and found them not so helpful to me. The best I've been able to do after days of trying is to get both scritters and the crab onto the island at the top right corner of the screen. As soon as I then try to join them ...

I finally saw the safe spot behind one of the coins to use to cool off my feet. Now it's on to try and get the yellow gate opened.

Well, I'll try that, but I should have made my plea clearer. I can get the bridges configured so that I can get to the chomper/coins area, but can't get the coins and get away without burning up first.

I too am having trouble getting the coins by the chomper. I don't see any tips on doing that. Please help??

Never mind!! I got it!

OK, I am feeling like a total dim bulb, because I can't find any posts about the level in the volcano called Over and Under. I'm having trouble getting started. I've been downstairs via the lower left corner and am working on dodging the fire flowers to unlock the red gates and go down another fligh...

Never mind. . . I finally figured out what y'all were saying about the safe spots--helped a lot!

I'm having trouble getting across and back the barrels on the left when you first are in the volcano. I know it must be a timing thing, to go across at just the right time so you can get back without combusting, but can't seem to find the right time. Any tips?

Well, through some bumbling around, plus the tips from everyone, I did make it! Thanks!

Thanks for all your help!!! I made it!

Duh!!! I always miss the most obvious things!!! Like--they are crabs, and they haven't drowned. Pitiful. . . lol I actually was doing that thing about the left side already--except I was blinking across, when I could have walked around. Thanks! I'll keep at it!

I can't get the crab onto the yellow button the first time. I think I understand what's being said about getting him on the button the second time, so I can come out of the corridor with the gems, but I can't get in the corridor. I do have the red key in the path with the water and barrels.

I don't understand what is meant by "follow the left side." I also don't see a rainbow button. Right now my biggest problem is getting all 7 of them across the water without anyone stepping on the diamond button and causing several to drown.

Oohhhh!! I totally forgot about the button at the bottom with the scritters! Thanks so very much!! I finished this one at last!

Ok, those green crabs are trying my patience! Would someone please tell me if I'm at least on the right track? I'm blinking across the water on the left (ignoring the red transporters) and trying to lead all 8 crabs back to the middle section, where I then am trying to get them across the water and ...
