BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL! Co-Op 100% Walkthrough: World 8 (Slide Them Away Together)
BOXBOY! + BOXGIRL! may start off pretty simple, but it gets tricky pretty quickly. So let’s get started on the co-op segment: World 8 (Slide Them Away Together).
As there is a lot to cover, you may stumble across a solution to a level that may either be incomplete or not to the best it could be. If you have any solutions, please be so kind as to email us at team@switchaboo.com and we’ll be sure to provide credit if we use it.
World 8-1
Boxes Used: 8
As the opening tutorial video showed, have one player make a single box to the right and shoot it, followed by the other player doing the same thing. Then press X to dismantle them once you’ve crossed and proceed. Next, have one player make two vertical boxes and shoot them, followed by the other player making just one box and shooting it.
For the third and final section, have one player stand on top of the other, make two horizontal boxes to the right and shoot it. Then swap places, with the bottom player now on top of the other, and shoot a single box across, allowing you to cross the bridge, grab the Crown and get to the door.
World 8-2
Boxes Used: 13
Have one player make a single box and shoot it to the right. Then the other player needs to stand on top of the other, make three horizontal boxes and also shoot it to right to cover the blue silhouette. For the next segment, have one player shoot a single box to the right. Then the other player needs to stand of top of the other and make a three-boxed even left hook (right, up, left) and shoot it to the right, covering the red silhouette.
Lastly for the Crown, have one player make a three-boxed backwards L and shoot it across. Then the other player needs to make two boxes vertically and shoot it across so that they land on top of the other. Then run across to the Crown and make for the door.
World 8-3
Boxes Used: 4
Have BOXBOY make a box and shoot it to the right. Then have BOXGIRL make a single box above her head to use as a helmet and walk into the middle of the level.
Then have BOXGIRL place that box on top of the bottom-left cannon and have BOXBOY make a three-boxed right hook above himself (up x2, right) and position it so that the top-left cannon gets blocked off and BOXGIRL can jump up.
Once BOXGIRL is safe on the left side, have BOXBOY retract the boxes. Then have one jump on top of the underneath the Crown and make boxes upwards to grab it, only to retract the boxes afterwards.
Lastly, have one player make two boxes to the right above themselves (up, right), have the other player underneath the right box and have the first player walk to the right, throw the lasers and to the door.
World 8-4
Boxes Used: 7
Have one player make a single box. The other player then needs to jump on top of the box and then shoot it to the far right. Then when it falls, the player over the other side can push that box into the blue button.
Similar concept for the second segment; have one player stand on top of the other, then the bottom player needs to make two boxes horizontally above them (up, right), and shoot it across. Now over the other side, have that player stand on the button.
Lastly, have one player make two boxes vertically to the right (right, up) and have the other player stand on top of them. Shoot them across and when the boxes hit the wall, jump to reach the Crown. Then have that player make two vertical boxes to the left (left, up) and shoot them to the left, activating the blue button.
World 8-5
Boxes Used: 15
Have BOXBOY stand on top of BOXGIRL. Then she needs to make two boxes vertically above her and shoot them across to the right, allowing BOXBOY to jump up to the ledge and into the blue silhouette.
Next, have BOXGIRL stand on top of BOXBOY. Have him make a three-boxed even right hook above him (up x2, right) and shoot it all across, allowing her to get to the red silhouette. Then BOXGIRL needs to make a three-boxed backwards L (left, down, left) and throw it down to make stairs.
Lastly, jump down to the bottom and have BOXBOY stand on top of BOXGIRL. Have her make two blocks horizontally to the left above her (up, left) and shoot them across, allowing BOXBOY to go through the blue silhouette along the way. From here to get the Crown, BOXBOY needs to make two blocks horizontally to the left above him (up, left) and pull himself into it. Then jump down, have one player make a three-boxed backwards L to use as steps and get to the door.
World 8-6
Boxes Used: 6
Have BOXGIRL stand on top of BOXBOY. Then have BOXBOY make two vertical boxes above (up x2) and BOXGIRL two horizontal boxes to the right above her (up, right). When it gets to the far-right, BOXGIRL can press Y to pull herself up and jump into the red silhouette.
Now up here, have BOXGIRL make two vertical boxes to the left and shoot it across to the far left, activating the button. Then drop down, have BOXBOY standing one box left of the laser and make a three-boxed even right hook above him (up x2, right) but don’t let go of it. Instead, have BOXGIRL push him to the left and past the laser. Once that’s done, retract the boxes and move BOXBOY just to the right of the left ledge. Have BOXGIRL stand on top of him again and have BOXBOY make some boxes upward without letting them go. BOXGIRL can now reach the Crown, jump down and BOXBOY can retract the boxes.
To get across to the door, have BOXBOY make a three-boxed even left hook above (up x2, left) and have BOXGIRL push him to the right, protecting her in the process. Retract the boxes and that’s it.
World 8-7
Boxes Used: 26
Have one player make four boxes horizontally and shoot them to the right. Then have the other player stand on top of the other and make a three-boxed forward facing L (right, down, right) and shoot it to the right, covering the blue silhouette.
Next, have one player stand on top of the other, make a three-boxed forward facing L (right, down, right) and shoot them. Then the other player needs to stand of top of the other, make boxes in this order (right, down, right x2) and shoot that to the right, covering the red silhouette.
Lastly, have one player stand on top of the other, make a four-boxed square (right x2, down, left) and shoot it to the right. Then swap around, have the other player make four boxes in this order: right, down, right x2 and shoot it. Now the first player needs to make some more boxes (getting rid of the big square) in this order: right x3, up and shoot it, covering both silhouettes, allowing you to grab the Crown and get to the door.
