Okay.. thanks to KazooieGuy, I have this idea... if you remember the forums mentioning the Advent calendar and stuff from FP? Well suppose you STOP in that level someplace and SWOP something there... maybe it is FF... or maybe it is the key to getting the ice key the actual way. Whether this is the beginning of the sequence, or end, who knows? Just a thought to tie in to previous thoughts on other levels and what not.

It's more an organisation thing. They keep the pause menu together and so it starts with Return to Game, Exit to witch's lair, View Totals and Save and Quit.

The next menu is the View Totals so they have that section followed by the final option which was the save and quit and that happens to be Are you sure? A - yes, b - no

When it comes to programming you have many many thousands of lines of code and so if things aren't organised it can get very messy. It's a lot easier to keep the menus together and store in the order Pause Menu -> View Totals Menu -> Save and Quit then all the options jumbled all over the place.

Now you may be thinking why didn't Rare go View Totals -> View totals Menu -> Save and Quit -> Option
It's entirely possible to do that. There's nothing saying you can't. It would still be organised enough but Rareware probably have a policy saying to do it that way (or maybe just the programmer who programmed the menus prefers it that way).

Ah, I see what you're saying now, perfectly.

Yeah, that should pretty much shoot that one down.

Yeah I thought that too. Or maybe they'd at least tell the code. So every time you unlock one area, you basically unlock the next.

People ignore you because of your poor spelling and grammar. Maybe if you improve a bit, then maybe people might stop ignoring you.

EDIT: What I meant to say was, they are focusing on the text rather than the numbers.

Come on, everyone. Let's not continue to ruin some of our best threads with petty complaining and bickering. It's not worth making our beloved RWP look this way. If you don't feel you are being paid the attention that you Oh-So deserve, begin to treat others with the same respect that you would ask them to give you. It's silly that we still need to have conversations like this, isn't it? Please, eveyone, just don't be so short with eachother. Like I said, it's not worth.

This has been another PSA from your friend, dmoss.

The six eggs six egg-less worlds sounds interesting, but that would rule out the GBTG board. Also, doesn't the board say Ice egg before eggs? And if there is a secret level, it would probably be FF. Grrrrr, rare is evil.

The board does not mention the Ice Key, if I recall.

Yes it does. I don't know where a pic is but it says

1. Collect Ice Key
2. Collect Secret Eggs
3. Unlock Secret Level

(or something to that effect, may not be the exact words).

I've been slack and haven't beaten the game but I plan on soon so I'll get a pic when I can.
