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
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. Move one Stinker across the bridge and have them push the Wooden Box all the way down and enter the alcove. Switch to the other Stinker and have both Stinkers push the box into the water. Push the other box into another pool of water then go across a collapsible bridge and 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 and switch to Peegue.
Have Peegue roll the Boulder on his left and collapse the nearby bridge. Roll the two boulders into the water. Push the Steel Boxes along the navy blue paths starting with the one in Peegue's starting room. Collapse the bottom bridge tile to the left of Peegue’s Rainbow Gate then roll Boulder 1 left and up into the water and Boulder 2 up, left, and up. Collapse the other bridge tile and then push Boulder 3 left, up, left, and up and then Boulder 4 right, up, left, up, left, and up to complete the boulder bridge. Have Peegue collect all of the coins on his side and then switch to Stinky.
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 buttons (with their respective colors) are represented by the circles; the boxes are numbered 1 to 7 with possible final positions for them colored by font. Stinky's moves should be as follows:
- Use the right conveyor (B). Push box 4 up two tiles and box 5 onto the yellow button. Box 5 is set.
- Now push box 4 down one tile and leave via the right collapsible bridge (D).
- Use the left conveyor (A). Push box 2 up two tiles and box 1 onto the purple button. Box 1 is set.
- Push box 2 down one tile. The boxes should now be arranged as they are in the second picture.
- Push box 3 right two tiles onto the white button. Box 3 is set.
- Push box 4 up one tile and down one tile again.
- Push box 6 left two tiles and box 2 down and right onto the blue button. Box 2 is set.
- Push box 6 down two tiles onto the red button. Box 6 is set.
- Cross the left collapsible bridge (C), reenter via the right conveyor (B), and push box 4 up and left onto the cyan button. Box 4 is set. (Box 7 has remained in place.) All the gates should be open.
Alternatively Stinky may make the following set of moves, which only requires one re-entry:
- 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 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.
