This is a relatively easy level; there are two different solutions depending on how [[Stinky]] and [[Loof]] want to build the boulder bridges to the key and rainbow star (exit). However, due to a technical glitch in the SnL remake, only one solution is possible there. In any case, the '''key in the middle of the level''' plays an important role in stopping boulders, and '''should not be collected until all the bridges are complete'''.
Four water tiles must be bridged to access the exit and all keys (note that the tile on the rightmost wall is an X-tile and unaccessible). The '''key in the middle of the level''' plays an important role in stopping boulders, and '''should not be collected until all the bridges are complete'''.
 
Due to a technical glitch in the SnL remake, the collision of boulders in the lower-right corner (step 5) may result in their mutual destruction, which would make the solution unsolvable, in which case the game must be restarted or reloaded from an earlier save point.
