Gateway to the Rainbow World is the eighth and final level in Secret Passages. There are three sets of puzzles: a Powder Keg and Wooden Box puzzle for Loof and Qookie, a Boulder and Steel Box puzzle for Peegue, and a Wooden Box and button puzzle for Stinky. Once all three puzzles are solved, the gateway to the Rainbow World opens for Stinky to enter, and the other three Stinkers give him words of encouragement as they exit. The level also cycles through various colors.
Walkthrough
Qookie & Loof's section
Immediately switch to Qookie and push the right-most Powder Keg into the water; otherwise, a Scouge will blow up the kegs and kill Loof and Qookie. Push the remaining kegs into the water switching between Loof and Qookie as needed taking care not to have the kegs destroyed by the Scouge.
Follow the red arrows to push the next wooden box: move one Stinker across the bridge and push the box all the way down, then enter the alcove. Switch to the other Stinker to push the box left. Let the first Stinker push the box into the water. Push the other box along the orange arrow into another pool of water, but do not enter the red teleporter from this side! Instead, go across the collapsible bridge on the right, collect a pair of bonus coins before collecting the Rainbow Coin on the red teleporter. Collect the other pair of Bonus Coins if they haven’t been collected already.
Peegue's section
Switch to Peegue. Push the left boulder to the left (pink arrow), then collapse the nearby bridge (pink "X") and return. Roll the two boulders into the water following the left and right yellow arrows. Push the two steel boxes along the green arrows.
For the second part, be sure to collapse the bridges first before pushing the boulders in! Collapse the bottom bridge tile (green "X") first. Next push Boulder 1 left and up into the water, followed by Boulder 2 up, left and then up into the water. Collapse the other bridge tile (purple "X"). Now Boulder 3 should be resting above the right steel box; push it left, up and left before going into the water. Finally, push Boulder 4 right and up onto the ice; once it stops, repeat the same as with Boulder 3. Collect all the coins on this side.
Stinky's section
Stinky needs to position seven Wooden Boxes so that they hold down seven buttons and open the colored gates. The initial positions of the boxes are shown in the infographic. The covered buttons (with their respective colors) are represented by the circles; the boxes are numbered 1 to 7 and entrance/exit positions denoted by letters. Stinky's moves should be as follows:
- Use the right conveyor (B). Push box 5 up two tiles, down one tile, then right onto the yellow button. Box 5 is set.
- Push box 6 left and onto the purple button. Box 6 is set.
- Push box 7 right one tile, and box 4 up two tiles. Leave via the right collapsible bridge (D).
- Use the left conveyor (A). Push box 2 up two tiles then left one tile.
- Push box 3 right two tiles onto the white button. Box 3 is set.
- Push boxes 4 and 7 left onto their respective (cyan and green) buttons. Boxes 4 and 7 are set.
- Push box 1 right two tiles onto the dark blue button. Box 1 is set.
- Push box 2 down two tiles onto the red button. Box 2 is set. All the gates should be open.
After opening the gates, step onto a conveyor at the top, collect the final Rainbow Coin, and have all four Stinkers exit through their respective Rainbow Gates.
