This is my first guide so cut me some slack please.

This guide is intended for you to solve the puzzles, not achieve the fastest 
time possible.
____________________________________________________________________________

First, if you are looking for a particular puzzle, on your keyboard ctrl-f 
then type "puzzle1", "puzzle2", etc.

While reading these walkthroughs there will be paragraph breaks. When you 
see a paragraph break, Lode Runner (LR) is allowed to stop moving and you 
can take a breather and assess your next moves. Otherwise you almost 
certainly will have to keep moving and not stop.

This guide assumes you played the practice levels of "basic game play" and 
"advanced techniques" so that you understand what is going on in the guides. 
I will explain the special blocks myself.

Now a word about the various blocks and such you will encounter. As you play 
you will learn which blocks are shootable and which are not. Don't get 
stuck!

Stalactites: These hang from a shootable block. Shooting the block will 
cause these to fall, breaking the block it hits, covering lava blocks so you 
can temporarily safely cross, or kill you or an enemy.

Snow blocks: White fluffy blocks on the ice levels. Shooting any part of a 
connected chain of these will cause the blocks to break and disappear from 
the point you shot it.

Lava blocks: Will kill you or an enemy as soon as you touch it. Can only be 
crossed by having a stalactite fall on it. Move quickly!

Double-blast (DB) blocks: In the ruins levels, these blocks are the ones 
with faces on them. Must be shot twice. Bombs also only have the effect of 1 
shot. Shooting it once will cause it to be a single block, and will never 
become a DB block again until you shoot it one more time. This trick is 
really only useful in level 50.

Doors: Sometimes you will come to a mine level with 2 doors. To go through 
them hold up and you will come out through the other door.

TIPS:

A few tips to make playing easier. First though, getting used to LR's 
movement takes practice. Even then, you will still occasionally make a 
mistake, but don't worry about that; practice makes perfect. First tip is 
when you are running towards a ladder, instead of holding the stick left or 
right, hold it at an angle that you wish to traverse the ladder. For 
example, you are heading left towards a ladder leading up. Hold the control 
stick in the upper left position to quickly begin climbing the ladder as 
soon as you reach it. Keep it in the upper left position to quickly get off 
the ladder and begin running to the left at the first available platform. 
This tip will save you valuable split seconds.

The next tip is what I have labeled "tunneling" and is a staple of the Lode 
Runner series. Say you have 4 shootable blocks next to a 5th non-shootable 
block. You are standing on the non-shootable block. Go left 3 blocks shoot 
left, go right 1 block shoot left, go right 1 block shoot left, go right 1 
block shoot left. You now have cleared a platform 1 block by 4 blocks deep. 
You can jump in this new space and shoot out 3 more blocks. Jump in this and 
shoot out 2 more blocks. Jump in this and shoot out 1 block. This is called 
tunneling. To save myself time, I will tell you to tunnel and you should do 
what is described above, and I will also tell you the direction to tunnel.

The next trick is simply spamming the shoot button as you hold the control 
stick in the direction you wish tunnel. This trick saves a few split seconds 
also, but is really only needed for level 50.

Puzzle11:
All the way left. Right 3, drop down, shoot left, drop bomb, right 1. Bomb 
blows grab gold then go to the exit.

Puzzle12:
This puzzle is important because it teaches you about waiting till just 
before a block regenerates to shoot again. Important for later levels. Go 
all the way up the right ladder. Shoot the top 2 stacked blocks. Wait until 
just before the 2nd block regenerates, then shoot the 3rd block. Run up 
ladder. Right 1, shoot right. Drop down then go left.

until just before the 3rd one regenerates, then shoot the 4th one. Run up 
ladder. Left 3 shoot left, left 2 shoot right. Right all the way to the left 
ladder, then up and to the exit.

Puzzle13:
See that wooden thing below the right gold? An enemy will come out of there. 
We will soon be riding his head. Go down the let ladder and get the gold. 
Wait until the enemy is all the way on the left side then climb up. Go right 
5 onto the 3rd ladder. All the way up, all the way right, then all way the 
down this 6th ladder. Climb up the ladder when the enemy has moved 2 to the 
right so he is between the 3rd and 4th ladders. This will take a little bit 
of practice the first time.

Go all the way up the 6th ladder, then left to the 3rd ladder. Go down a bit 
then drop to the right, then right again so you're on the 4th ladder. Go all 
the way up then right to the 5th ladder. Go down 3 so the enemy can see you. 
Wait until he is below the gold. Climb up to the left, go down the 4th ladder 
just enough so you can get the gold via his head. Back to the 4th ladder, 
then the 5th ladder.

All the way down the 5th ladder, all the way left to the 2nd ladder. All the 
way up the 2nd ladder, then move when the enemy has moved 3 to the left. All 
the way right to the 5th ladder, go all the way up. Notice the enemy moved 1 
while you traversed the 5th ladder? Go left to the 3rd ladder, all the up, 
then all way left to the exit.

Puzzle14:
Left shoot, run right and grab gold, run all the way left dropping down. 
Tunnel from left to right so you reach the left ladder. Run up left ladder 
and shoot the top blue block before the snow regenerates. Down 1, right 1. 
Wait until the blocks you tunneled regenerate, then tunnel from right to 
left, left to right, then right. Drop down go to exit.

Puzzle15:
This one's fun (sarcasm). An enemy will come out of the grate and you have 
to lure him so he gets the gold, then dies on the lava block making the gold 
disappear. I like to remove the harder gold first, so we will do that. Don't 
worry if you mess up, there's an infinite number of times he can spawn. Just 
don't fall in the hole, or let him fall in the hole before you get all the 
gold.

Down the first ladder. Wait until the enemy (he) approaches the 6th ladder. 
Climb up the 1st ladder. Wait until he is on the hangrail, then you go down 
the 1st ladder. Wait until he is on the 5th ladder, then go up the 1st ladder. 
Head right and go up the 3rd ladder. Wait until he is on the hangrail, then 
move left 1. He should get the 3rd gold. Then head down to the bottom level 
(besides that pit) and lure him to the lava.

Repeat the above steps. When you are on the 3rd ladder, wait until he is on 
the hangrail, then head all the way left and go down the first ladder. He 
should get the 2nd gold and kill himself.

Repeat this process and have him get the 4th gold and 5th gold.

Now it is time to trap him in that pit. Repeat the process for the 2nd gold, 
but head all the way down to the 2nd ladder and go down it. He should trap 
himself. Grab the 1st gold and go through the exit.

Puzzle16:
Tunnel the top 3 blocks. Get in the middle of the new hole and shoot left 
then shoot right. Go right 2. Wait until the top 3 blocks you shot 
regenerate. Then shoot the bottom 2 blocks, head up the ladder, all the way 
left dropping down getting the gold. Wait for the snow block directly to the 
right of you to regenerate then shoot it. Then head all the way right. Grab 
the gold on the right, then go through the exit.

Puzzle17:
Shoot left, right 2, tunnel the right snow block and the 2 blue blocks. You 
should be back at the spawn point. Right 2, shoot left. Left 2, shoot right,

secs. Drop bomb in hole. Back to bomb respawn. Go all the way right and all 
the way up the 4th ladder. Left 2, drop bomb in front onto the 3rd ladder, 
right 1, shoot left. Bomb blows. Wait until the block you shot regenerates, 
then up the 3rd ladder to the exit.

hangrail. Wait for the gold to drop on you. Go right and get last gold, then 
left to the exit.

Puzzle20:
You have to shoot that block 2 to the right. Then run up the right ladder

reshoot the first block, then run all the way up the right ladder drop down 
on the right get gold, and run left to the exit.

the right shoot button until you shoot the regenerating snow. Go left to the 
ladder. Up when you can, and right when the snow regenerates.

Puzzle26:
I hate this level. Left 1. Shoot right just as the left enemy is falling 
past the top block. Do this a total of 3 times. When the left enemy is in 
the pit you made for the third time, head right to the ladder. Wait for the 
right enemy to fall into the water, then head up the ladder, right to the

side.

Go down to lure the left enemy to the water. He will die, spawn, then fall

Puzzle40:
This level is annoying. 2 enemies spawn, and they cannot get any gold. If 
they do, you cannot complete this level because you cannot kill them to get 
the gold back. I have no set path for beating this. Just keep trying until 
you get it. For the beginning though, get the 2 bottom gold and head back to 
the middle ladder. Go up and then up one of the adjacent ladders. Get the 4 
gold here. Frequently drop down and head back to the middle ladder to start 
again. Good luck.

right shoot. Now tennel just the right 2 blocks. Right 2 left shoot. Drop 
down on the right, get the gold and run up the ladders to the left. Go to 
the exit.

blasting the right 2 blocks first this time. Right 1, shoot left then shoot 
right. Left 2 double shoot left. Go left to the ladder. Now all DB blocks 
should be single except for the top left one.

Go to the top of the ladder. Right shoot. Right 2, then tunnel these 3 
blocks from left to right. Left 1 shoot left. Left to the ladder. Now all DB 
blocks should be single.

shooting the left 2 first. From the hangrail, left 1. Tunnel from left to 
right these 5 blocks. Then left 2. Tunnel these 4 blocks from right to left. 
Then left to right. Then right to left, left to right, right. To the exit.
