All the 6's is the twenty-first level of the Tricky difficulty in Lemmings.
Strategy[]
This is actually a very easy level for Tricky, considering the abundance of skills we have.
Have the second Lemming be a Blocker. Have the first Lemming bash though the first number six, then build to the next one. Repeat the process until you reach the Exit portal. Bomb (or undermine for 100%) the Blocker, then watch them go to the exit!
Alternatively, you can dig a pit to hold everyone in, and then a Climber gets out and does all the work; then build the others free or just make them all Climbers.
Version differences[]
- Atari Lynx
- Only has 40 Lemmings and 26 must be saved.
- Commodore 64
- Only has 33 Lemmings and needs 22 to be saved.
- Original Release rate is 67.
- The exit is taken from the dirt tile set.
Trivia[]
- This level was removed in some versions of the game, most likely due to the number 666 being associated with Satanism.
- In various ports this level was replaced. In the Mac version, Going Their Separate Ways takes its place. The SNES sees it replaced with Ohayo Lemming san! in non-Japanese versions. On the Sega Master System, Sixes not!. And finally in the Genesis/Megadrive version, Don't leave any Lemmings.
- This level was actually named after the traditional British Bingo call for the number 66.
- Mike Dailly mentioned trying to make it use values of 55. But since achieving 55% of Lemmings to save was impossible (Lemmings always rounds down except for the Commodore 64, so 30/55 is 54% and 31/55 is 56%). Dailly suggests the player is helping the Lemmings escape from hell "to a far better land".[1]
