Can someone help me? I'm already stuck at the first part.

Erwin042 · Post by **Erwin042** » Mon Dec 29, 2008 1:43 pm

the part with the red and light blue buttons?

put a bubble before the red barrier and aim your pop to the button,
the pop goes in the bubble but...
you have to wait until the bubble explodes and than switch on the red button
when those 2 barriers are open, your pop has to go to the light blue button
so timing is again everything
start first with practicing
start counting how long a bubble stays on
then put a pop in the bubble but aim towards the bubble
when you think (cos you counted it) the bubble will explode, pop to the red button
with perfect timing your pop within the bubbles goes to the button
My pop did it the first time right (for the first time)

I can make it with the spikes too.
Maybe I can get the key in the chomper area but I haven't tried this out.

I'm very stuck in that area with the timer buttons.
Do I need the floing bubbles? Or not? I kept them when I passed the gate.

I can do the part with the blink and the timer buttons fine, and the part with the floinging and popping through the gates, but the chomper and spikey bits are killing me. Well, the chompers are anyway, every single time. And anyway, if you do manage to floing them on the buttons and get the key, what happens when the bubbles burst and they come charging after you?

I have figured this though ...

I think you need the help of a spikey on the long bridge top left. I did it accidentally and found out it helped a lot.

The chomper is hunting me of course
but then I get behind the blue gate
I stand on the blue button until the chomper comes on the gate then I get off it and the chomper is dead

I cheated on this level, sorry!

I forgot the recharge the floing power before entering the blink area.

Salin · Post by **Salin** » Mon Dec 29, 2008 9:19 pm

I had problems with the chomps too. What I did:

I placed a Flo behind me, and ran to the button Erwin mentiond to kill them.

Erwin042 · Post by **Erwin042** » Mon Dec 29, 2008 11:44 pm

But what must I do in the area with the timers?

riclin · Post by **riclin** » Tue Dec 30, 2008 1:07 am

I seem to be having difficulty with the red and blue gates. There must be something basic that I am missing.

Can someone please give me a bit of a hint as to what to do there?

Thanks

Salin · Post by **Salin** » Tue Dec 30, 2008 10:06 am

Erwin:

POP the timers after getting the white key

Riclin, by red and blue gates, do you mean lightblue/cyan? At the beginning? If you are, then:

Place a FLO in front of the cyanbutton gate. Then put a POP in in. Now you can POP the red button, but you need to time it so that you pop when the FLO is bursting. Try to count how long it takes for it to burst.

popo · Post by **popo** » Tue Dec 30, 2008 12:47 pm

I didn't do the blue and red gates like that. What I did was...

place a floing just above the red button, then aimed pop at the button, then placed anothe floing just below where the gate will be when it closes, and aimed another pop at the red button. Then stepped across to the blue button and kept popping at the blue button. As the first pop hits the red button your pop will go through the first gate, then as the second pop hits the red button your pop will go through the second gate and hit the blue button.

Hope I made that clear enough

As for the pink gate timer button bit I...

made sure I had a full pop glove, collected the key, then (don't stand on the blink charger) stood on the pink gate that's one diagonally from the left (you should just be able to get to the timer button in the top corner). Then I popped the timers with my finger hovered over the #1 keypad button and walked two steps diagonally downwards so I was midpoint between both sets of gates. Pop those timer buttons as soon as the gates open and leg it through the the green and blue gates. You can have a breather now.
Walk over the buttons, restepping on the dark blue timer last thing and go stand on the blink charger and blink through the dark blue gate. You then still have 9 blinks to do the last bit.

I still need to restart the whole adventure

Erwin042 · Post by **Erwin042** » Tue Dec 30, 2008 5:06 pm

Restarted this level with succes now!

* You all know how I get the key behind the light blue barrier (explained above)
* Then I went on the spikes area
I put grows just before every spike when they went on the button, so the bridge was complete to take that key
Then I lead a spike out of the room with grows and lead him to the top left over the long bridge (where popo wrote about in a spoiler)
* Then I took the key from the chomper area. How?
put 2 gloves on each side beneath the 3 blue button, charge first to the wall and then an other aside so the chompers left and right can't get you right away!
I returned and got the red gloves
I stopped just before the 1 blue button and put bubbles on the 3 buttons
if the grows explode before, you need to reload
if everything still stands, step on the button and hold so the chompers can over it
when they are stuck in the bubble, the bridge is ready and you can take the key
wait before that 1 blue button until the bubbles explode and the chompers run for you, then put one bubble on the bubble
* and returned to starting point
where I charged the pop gloves
* And entered behind the blue gate
I opened the blue gate by standing on the blue button
and I waited until the first chomper arrived
then opened the gate and directly after it close'm
so the chomper got killed in the gate
I repeated this processe to kill the other 2 chompers too.
If I would continue on the timers first I'd probably can't finish.

* Then I used the pop for the timers as popo wrote! Victory!!
For getting thru the blue gate: just blink
before opening all white gates I had 9 blinks left,
just enough to blink me to the star[/color]

Erwin, you forgot to use the white!

Saw that too after posting, so I edited the post

popo · Post by **popo** » Tue Dec 30, 2008 6:03 pm

I've got a problem understanding your part about the chompers. Are you stood in front of the blue button when you place your grows, because I've tried this already and can't get a grow on the leftmost tile below the bridges, I can do it on the right but not on the left. The only way I can get a grow there is to stand on the button and then the chomper in the middle comes straight at me.

Erwin042 · Post by **Erwin042** » Tue Dec 30, 2008 6:27 pm

Rewriting this post

I go over the button
you see the row of the buttons, I don't stand there of course
I srtand underneath
I put 2 grows on the left and 2 grows on the right
just next to each other
the first against the wall the second next to it
on both side

when the chompers on the left and right go over the bridge they can't go further
they have to go into the bubble
Is this clear enough?

Salin · Post by **Salin** » Tue Dec 30, 2008 6:28 pm

Then put your grows where you can put it.

Salin · Post by **Salin** » Tue Dec 30, 2008 6:28 pm

Erwin don't put screenshots like that. Have you got an OK from MS?

popo · Post by **popo** » Tue Dec 30, 2008 8:05 pm

So you walk over the button and into the room? Don't the chompers end up in the water? When I tried it the bridges came up and went down again and the chompers were in mid air and then fell in the water.

Erwin042 · Post by **Erwin042** » Tue Dec 30, 2008 8:39 pm

I've just went over the button
if you stand still on the button the bridges pop up
if you over the button the bridges stay down

Salin · Post by **Salin** » Tue Dec 30, 2008 8:50 pm

Popo, you don't have to cross the button.

Just stand in the doorway and shoot, you don't have to shoot equal each side.

popo · Post by **popo** » Tue Dec 30, 2008 9:31 pm

Ta very muchly, I've done it.

I did have to go over the button because if I didn't grow against the walls they came round the sides, they're very sneaky those chompies.

It took me forever to get the grows to stay there while I floinged the bubbles and for the bubbles to stay there long enough to get the key - ended up in the water many times - but I did eventually do it and killed the chompies in the blue gate.

I can go to bed happy now. I bet I'll dream of chompies snapping at my ankles.

Gah. I had a nice little trick going on with the timer buttons, but popo - your solution was so much neater!

Still, I guess a learnt a thing or two about Floing instead ... still not sure there's any kind of mastery going on though!

fiffi · Post by **fiffi** » Tue Jan 06, 2009 12:36 pm

how do you time the first set of red/blue buttons, i have tried for about 2hrs and still no luck,

Salin · Post by **Salin** » Tue Jan 06, 2009 1:15 pm

You'll just have to count how long it takes before they bursts.

popo · Post by **popo** » Tue Jan 06, 2009 2:06 pm

I didn't have to time it. If you do the two floings and two pops as I described above, you just have time to step sideways and start popping at the blue button.

fiffi · Post by **fiffi** » Tue Jan 06, 2009 2:23 pm

thanks Pauline, that did the trick,

Jonnies_Girl · Post by **Jonnies_Girl** » Thu Jan 15, 2009 4:08 pm

How do you get the coins & jewels? I see where the button is that raises up the bridge, but how do you get back from the button with enough blinks to get to the star at the end?

Any suggestions?

Salin · Post by **Salin** » Thu Jan 15, 2009 4:34 pm

Make a FLO where you want to land, and put a BLINK in it, then run (or is it blink?) for the gems/coins
