atarilovesyou Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 Hey guys, I just don't know where to turn and my searches on google are fruitless! I've had this hankering to play some Gameboy Boxxle...so I get it on ebay, and have been slowly working my way through it. I really enjoy this game! So...I hit level 6-06. For those of you know this game, you have to push boxes onto dots. But in the is level, there are 25 dots but only 24 boxes! So I figured maybe they placed an extra dot somewhere. I have no problem figuring out the level but unfortunately, there's just no extra box hidden in the level to cover that dot! So while I can get a code to get my to level seven, it seems pretty lame that there's no way to finish this level because of such an obvious glitch. There's a lot of reviews and such online, and one of the FAQs shows that where that extra box is supposed to be, but that box is missing on the Gameboy version (mine, at least). Could anyone out there who knows about this game back me up?...or is this just a lousy bug that will require a cheat code to get past?...BLAH! I wanted to destroy this game, and now I gotta cheat to make it through. Any help? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarilovesyou Posted April 19, 2011 Author Share Posted April 19, 2011 No Boxxle fans?...lol, well, I just decided to get a code to get past this level as it is an obvious glitch. When you put in a code, you look back and see the completed puzzles, and for this level you see that there's an extra box in the solution that isn't there when you're actually playing the level! Just in case anybody gives this awesome Gameboy puzzler a shot...it's really a fun lil game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 (edited) How weird! I finished this game years ago all by myself, so I know the version I had back then didn't have such a glitch. Perhaps a simple wrong bit in the ROM caused this... Did you download a ROM of Boxxle on the internet and try to get to that level under emulation?

Rex Dart Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 1) Is it straight Sokoban, or is it tweaked a tiny bit like Puzzle Boy / Kwirk? I loved Kwirk. 2) I object to your using the Iron Maiden/Metal Lord font to describe Hair Metal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 1) Is it straight Sokoban, or is it tweaked a tiny bit like Puzzle Boy / Kwirk? I loved Kwirk. It's straight Sokoban. They just renamed it for american audiences. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atarilovesyou Posted April 21, 2011 Author Share Posted April 21, 2011 LOLZ...I don't even know where I found that metal pic, but why didntcha mention it like six years ago?...lol, I'm playing this on my SP, but the original cart. I found one nice n cheap on ebay, in GREAT shape. I'm not sure why or how this could happen, because I was totally intent on destroying this old challenge from way back completely legit, no online help at all. But when I spent about an hour going, wtf?...I caved. I'm not sure, but I'm going to try this FAQ code for that level and see if it loads properly...annnnd, same code, same glitch. I've actually 'finished' as much as I could on that level, got all the boxes in place but there's one extra spot. I might just get bored someday and program the entire level according to the setup of the FAQ. It's really a fun lil game that challenges you to the point of frustration, then you play it again the next day and for some reason you always find a solution. If anybody out there has this on their GB, the original cart, see if I'm crazy...probably! Who knows, maybe it's because I'm playing it on the SP and there's some kind of hardware incompatibility. The screen does look a lil crappy, but that seems to be the case whenever I play original Gameboy titles, and even some for the Gameboy Color carts. Who knows...I'm curious though for any ideas.

0078265317 Posted April 21, 2011 Share Posted April 21, 2011 I'm using a grey sp also. Original cart from gamestop 3 dollars. As for crappy press the L and R shoulder buttons to stretch the screen and make it full screen. As for the answer here you go.

atarilovesyou Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 Yep, that's what the screen 'should' look like. When you enter the code for that level on my copy, it's missing the box in the middle...well, a bit higher than middle. I know how to beat it, but I was quite surprised with the glitch. Now I gotta track down a 'working' copy, lol!...if only for posterity. Might snag the sequel too...I love me some boxxle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Or hang on to it. Might be worth something. Mistakes are sometimes worth a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) Mine has all the boxes, I just checked. Try this code and see if that helps. "KBBK" without the "" of course. If I type that code in level 6-10 has 7 boxes on the bottom row already in place. And 6-6 is all there as well. No missing boxes or dots. Took the code from here. http://www.gamewinners.com/game_boy/Boxxle.htm And also tell us what code you were using? The code may be the glitch not the game.

I tried your code but it takes me to level 6-1, and I can't pick any other levels...odd. I'm not sure my code, I've gotta track down the piece o' paper I wrote it down on but I can tell you it's the same code that you'll find on the boxxle FAQ that's out there. I'm currently stuck somewhere in level 8, lol...tricky lil game, but I like it a lot as you can probably tell! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0078265317 Posted May 30, 2011 Share Posted May 30, 2011 You can always select any level. Jus hit "start" and arrow down to select. Hit start and then arrow up and down to select another level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tylorlilley Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I just ran into this same glitch when playing through Boxxle on a genuine cart myself. This is the only place on the internet that I can find anyone mentioning this. The situation I am running into is the exact same as described by the OP - a single box (the same one even - its the center box horizontally, on the top portion of the screen, with empty spaces on three sides and a wall to the north of it) is missing from 06-06 which makes it impossible to complete. What a weird mystery. Just thought I'd chime in in case someone else is playing Boxxle another 10 years from now and also feels like they are going crazy when they encounter this same glitch! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) I'm seeing 25 crates in the video below. (Skip ahead to 1:53:09 to see level 06-06) Edited January 11, 2022 by Pixelboy 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There should be 25 crates, but on my cart (and I from the sound of it on OP's), there is only 24 at the start of the level, making it impossible to complete. I also posted about this (with a bit more detail) here on r/Gameboy and here on GBATemp in case anyone was able to figure out what is going on.

tylorlilley Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 I tried dumping the rom from my cartridge and then running it in an emulator to see if it still has this issue there - and it does! So it seems like this version of the game is just glitched and can't be beat (without skipping this level via a password, which you can definitely do, of course). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelboy Posted January 12, 2022 Share Posted January 12, 2022 The version of the Boxxle Game Boy ROM floating around the net is probably the fixed version. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to this page, there were some bugs in the original Japanese release that were fixed in the international version. It's strange that they didn't catch this. Did anyone download the Japanese version of the ROM and see if this glitch is present? Edited January 15, 2022 by Psionic 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually stumbled back to this thread while looking for some hints on another Boxxle level...a nice trip down Memory Lane, and I still haven't beaten the whole game yet! My current hangup is on 8-03, and I'm looking to see if there are any bugs like the 6-06. After that bug, it really makes you question every time you run into a...brick wall...ahem! So, I'm hoping 8-03 isn't bugged. I'm still playing my original cart, and in addition to having the bug on my SP, it's also on my GB Color. I was hoping somebody has tried the original cart on the original grey GB brick and seen the same bug. Who knows, as I don't have any way to know how later generation Gameboys achieved their backwards compatibility...maybe some hardware issue causes the game to play incorrectly on newer GBs? Anyways, Boxxle is still fun and I hope folks trying the game out on the GB platform can still get some help through these threads. Maybe in another 11 years I'll have be able to finish 8-03!
