Win and Die
Win and Die refers to a state in the Classic Trilogy where if a Stinker is killed as they enter a Rainbow Gate, the standard death animation will play as the Stinker shrinks complete with them exploding into stars, but the level will be considered complete as long as there are no other Stinkers in the level that still need to exit. There is no known way to Win and Die in the Wonderland Adventures Trilogy.
There are six known methods to Win and Die at the same time:[1]
- Walking into a Rainbow Gate on an active Electro Tile
- Walking into a Rainbow Gate on protracted Spikes
- Walking into a Rainbow Gate as a Ghost is entering. This cannot be done with a Trampoline because if a Stinker lands on a tile occupied by a Ghost, both the Ghost and the Stinker will die, and the win state won't be triggered even if the destination tile has a Rainbow Gate.
- Walking into a Rainbow Gate while a Kaboom! is on another side of the Gate
- Walking into a Rainbow Gate on the same tile as a Shadow Stinker
- Manually restarting the level by pausing and then selecting "RESTART THIS LEVEL" as the Stinker is walking into the Rainbow Gate. While possible, the timing is very strict. If the player restarts too late, they will win without the Stinker dying at the same time, and if they restart too early, the Stinker will die before the win state is triggered.
