The Wonderland Board

The final turn: May the crate be with you.

Chip, this level is driving me MAD I tell you MAD.

After trying for days on end I've finally got all the coins and I trusted the crate. But now I'm drifting around up a creek without a paddle and I can't get home.

I know I'm supposed to get from one end to the other without using the crate and only use the crate at the end but I don't see how to do this either.

By the way, the opening boulder puzzle is fantastic. I was stuck on that for ages, but now I can do it blindfold. The sphere puzzle is great too.

Anyway HELP PLEASE!

Hi Liz
Here's the walkthrough. Point 8 of it should answer your question: Try to see the lake in two parts and use the central raft for the final turn only.

SS NUTSHELL - logbook entry 24,1 - captain Stinky

How I steered through The Faraway Oceans (east)

1. Quickly went 2xS on sign. Saw, how crate vanished in green TP. Searched other green TP with spy-glass. Important information!

2. Steered E on raft and went E, 3 boulders in a row there. Pushed them like this:

O --> N(2), E(3)
O --> E(1), S(6)
O --> S(4), E(5)

3. Waited for good occasion to enter southern bridge. Got right coin. Pushed boulder W on white TP, then entered TP myself from S (pushing boulder into water at the same time). Was on top of northern bridge now. Collected 2 coins, then pushed boulder N into white TP. Followed and got last coin on this island.

4. Waited for good occasion to steer E on second raft. Arrived at never-ending hedges.
Pushed inner yellow sphere N and went aside quickly.
Pushed inner red sphere S.
Pushed inner green sphere S.
Pushed inner blue sphere N. All gaps filled!

5. Went on third raft and steered E between hedges. Pushed upper cube 7xW and lower one 6xW. Didn't forget to go back on third raft and to steer it W again.

6. Pushed new green sphere N to knock blue one. Pushed green sphere N again, then W to cube. Started blue sphere by sliding over ice curve and collected coin on northern bridge. Pushed new red sphere S. Started it by sliding over ice curve and collected coin on southern bridge.

7. Forced green sphere S between cyan TPs, then pushed upper cube 7xE back to it's original position. Pushed lower cube 7xE too above pink TP. Steered E on third raft and went through upper pink TP. Pushed cube 6xN to stick. Could reach lake of good hope now.

8. Went to northern part of lake. Went 2xE, 3xS and E on bridges, then jumped E,N and E on raft. Collected upper bonus coin, then steered N,E,S and W. Left area by jumping W, N and W back to hedges. Went through pink TP and repeated last steps in southern part of lake, but did final jump on invisible crate beside central raft.

End of entry.

That did it! I don't know why I didn't think of

jumping back to the hedges and starting again for the other section

This is a marvellous puzzle Chip. Loved every minute of sorting it out even though I did have to ask for a life raft at the end

BTW

I didn't use the pink cubes to get the spheres in place at all.

We all have our own ways of navigating

Thanks for the fun.

I was okay with the spheres but the boulders and the white tp were causing me fits so I was happy to see some help for that.

Another grand adventure, thanks Chip!

Sorry for the bump, but I'm playing through your levels again and with this level, the walkthrough is a bit unclear.

Could you explain the first part about the boulders again?

Hi Gameboy
Here's the boulder puzzle step by step:
1. Push the central boulder R against the other one.
2. Push the top boulder U.
3. Follow and push the top boulder R.
4. Return and push the lowest boulder D.
5. Follow and push the lowest boulder R.
6. Return and push the central boulder D. It will roll over the timers and allows you to go through the little hedge maze.
Good luck!

Thanks, Chip, that cleared it up.

Got the gold and a score of 6,210. I know I can do better, but I took the time to read the signs and think things through.

I was in exactly the same predicament of Liz for over a week, tried all sort of crazy ideas, such as getting spheres into the rightmost water area (and made a reasonable progress there). Just suddenly, the light came on and I saw that the solution is much much much much easier.

Excellent initial boulder puzzle.

Thanks!

Another bump. Is this cube/sphere puzzle possible? I can't seem to move the pink cube out of its corridor, and according to the walkthrough, there should be two, but I only see one.

Yes there are two pink cubes, in the same column (one above the other).

Oh! I was playing the level that came with the level set, not the version of this topic. It's fixed now.
