Your first mission is (highlight the following): to open the white gate. One Stinker should stand on the red button while the other explores the bottom of the area.

Very crowded level, but I was finally able to make sense of it all and figure it out! Very nice level! :stinkyhappy:

This level has some very clever moves in it. Two of them I'm surprised I figured out on my own (how to cover the blue button and how to kill the Chompers), and one of them I just can't seem to decipher. How the *HUH* are you supposed to get the Rainbow Coin above the trampoline?

Answer: This coin is taken as part of a jump sequence that is also an escape-route from the bottom-left enclosure,

Just realized that screenshot might spoil part of the solution - is there a way to hide it from those who don't want to see it?
Not really, so what you can do is delete that picture and just say "the coin just above the trampoline" (there is only one such coin)"

...Do you ever ask for help and then when you get it you facepalm because you're 99% certain you did that at one point during a previous attempt and just completely forgot about it?

Aaaaaaaand just encountered another problem I didn't even notice before. How do you keep the green gate open long enough to exit? I've clearly missed something here...

Well this is a big clue - keep reading only if you are really desperate; Something must be constantly rolling over the green timer

I figured that, but I couldn't figure out *HOW.* I'll give it another look, but I'm not sure I'll find anything...

Also, is there a point to the yellow button? I've seen it but I haven't seen any yellow gates...

EDIT: Yep. Still absolutely clueless. I had a feeling that was what I needed to do due the level design, but I don't understand how to get what I need in a position to do that. What am I missing here...?!

The item you need is... still inside the generator, it will spew out when all of its kind are gone from the board.

...YOU DEVIOUS STINKER!!!!!!!

*insert Double Facehoof + Wings meme here*

That is *SO* obvious in hindsight, but the design was just enough to make me think it did something else. Well played, Amnon; that was *EXTREMELY* clever.

Hey Amnon, I decided to remix your level a little by slightly altering it so it requires a different solution! Lemme know what you think! :stinkyhappy:
(also it might require some fast fingers)

EDIT: I realized there was a part of the level I didn't even account for! Edited the level :stinkyconfused:

Hi Kamerson,

Well, your changes turn my level into something else: while it has its merits and a new interesting puzzle, one of the important tasks in my design (destroying all boulders, including by collision) can be bypassed by... having both characters jump out in the same direction.

That was a workout!

Not sure what the yellow button and the ice cube were for...misdirection?

Anyway, good fun.
Thanks,
