Shadow Stinkers

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

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 coins and activate buttons. However, they cannot enter Rainbow Pools or step on Conveyors.

Red Shadow Stinkers (Fire Stinkers)

Red Shadow Stinkers are almost exactly the same as Blue Shadow Stinkers; they move the exact same way and can pick up items and activate buttons. 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 and to collect items where Stinkers can't 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 Trilogy

The only canonical Shadow Stinker in the Wonderland Adventures Trilogy.

In the Wonderland Adventures Trilogy, 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 trilogy, who guards the Yellow Shard. This Shadow Stinker gives you a test, which you must pass to gain the Shard.
