Shadow Stinkers

Shadow Stinkers are non-player characters in the Wonderland series. They appear in both Return to Wonderland Platinum and Wonderland Adventures, but serve dramatically different purposes in these two games.

Kinds of Shadow Stinkers

Blue Shadow Stinkers

Blue Shadow Stinkers will do almost anything a Stinker does, but with every movement reversed. Blue Shadow Stinkers can collect certain items and activate buttons. However, they cannot step on Conveyor Belts or Ice or Teleporters or Trampolines or Transporters or collect Alarm Clocks.

Red Shadow Stinkers (Fire Stinkers)

Red Shadow Stinkers are almost exactly the same as Blue Shadow Stinkers; they can pick up certain items and activate buttons and move the exact same way except for their arms and legs which do not move. Apart from appearance, the only difference is that they shoot fireballs at Stinkers whenever they are in the same vertical or horizontal line.

Techniques

• You can use a Shadow Stinker to collect items or press buttons where Stinkers cannot get to in a level.
• You can use a Red Shadow Stinker as a hazard requiring strategic footing.

Glitches

• When a Stinker walks into an exit inside a Shadow Stinker then you will Win and Die unless there are other Stinkers that have not exited.

Wonderland Adventures

The only canonical Shadow Stinker in the Wonderland Adventures Trilogy.

In Wonderland Adventures, Shadow Stinkers are Stinker NPCs with the Shadow texture. They act the same way as any other Stinker.

Shadow Stinkers are described as coming from a faraway land, and feeling a special connection to Wonderland. This information is given by the only canonical Shadow Stinker in the game, who guards the Yellow Shard. This Shadow Stinker gives you a test, which you must pass to gain the Shard.
