Story[]
Chase doesn't find out Rex's hideout, but he does get to replace the goon at a construction site, gaining the final disguise, the Construction Worker.
Walkthrough[]
Level Prelude[]
You access this level when you go to the construction site in Paradise Sands to steal a crane. (Look here for more information.)
Level Walkthrough[]
You start in the first courtyard of the construction site. Albert will ask you to push a barrel in the upper left corner. Push the barrel and use the Robber suit to open the shed where you will find a closet. Open it to unlock Chase McCain (Construction), thus obtaining all the suits. With the Construction suit, repair an electrical box next to the closet to open a box with a red panel. Eddie will come in through the roof and, while mistaking you for Jimmy, will ask you to steal a crane from Rex. Go to the bottom right corner and destroy a large box to build a space box. Use the Astronaut suit on it to open it and reveal some bricks. Use them to build a color swapper with the color green. Use it to change the color of your Robber suit's Color Gun from purple to green. Then, use the green color of your Color Gun to change the color of the panel you revealed from red to green. This will open the gates guarding a steamroller. Get on the steamroller and use it to step on a large pressure plate in the upper right corner. This will open the gates that will take you to the second courtyard.
In the second courtyard, you will have to use the Construction suit to drill four ventilation floors. These ventilation floors will cause the water in the central pond to begin to decrease. The first ventilation floor is to the left of the pond. Stand on it with the Construction suit and hold the attack button to drill it. After drilling it, press the action button to make a hole and a geyser comes out, draining the water from the pond. The second ventilation floor is to the lower left of the pond. Destroy the objects above it, drill it and make a hole in it. The third ventilation floor is south of the pond. Destroy the objects above it, drill it and make a hole in it. The fourth and final ventilation floor is to the right of the pond. Destroy the objects above it, drill it and make a hole in it. After drilling and making holes in all four floors of vents, the pond water will be drained. Go to the now empty pond and destroy a large box to reveal a space box. Use the Astronaut suit on it to open it and reveal some pieces in the upper right corner of the courtyard. Climb the stairs on the right to exit the pond and use the pieces to build a mechanism. Then, pull a yellow lever to make a hanging platform drop a box, revealing some pieces. Use them to build a staircase that will take you to the first floor of a building under construction.
On the first floor of the building under construction, go left and you will find a silver wall blocking your way. Use the Undercover suit to go down a ladder and use the ladder to reach the right side of the second floor. There, walk over a blue and white border to reach the floor on the right. On that floor, use the Robber suit to open a door and in the room behind it, use the Miner suit on a dynamite vending machine to receive a dynamite. Grab the dynamite and place it in a barrel next to the silver wall on the first floor. Move away from the dynamite and it will explode, destroying the silver wall and allowing you to reach an elevator. However, the elevator does not work. To make it work, go left, slide under a gap, and use the Undercover suit to reach the left side of the second floor. On that floor, go right and use the Construction suit to repair an electrical box. This will make the elevator work. Go down the hole to your right and pull a lever on the elevator to make it go up and reach the third floor. There, go left and you will find fire blocking your path. Use the Fireman suit to put it out and then use the Farmer suit on a red pot to grow a plant that you can use as a wall. Climb it to reach the fourth floor. There, walk on a blue walkway, jump over the gap you dropped down, and continue to the right until you find poison gas blocking your path. If you touch it, it will kill you instantly. Go down a gap to reach a room on the third floor, where you will have to destroy a red object and turn a green valve to deactivate the poisonous gases. With the poison gases disabled, use a ladder to return to the fourth floor and jump right to reach a room on the third floor. There, use the Fireman suit to open a boarded up door that will take you to the next area.
In the next area, go down a pipe to reach a container and exit it. You'll find Bobby Hammer, who will tell you that a guard dog stole the shed key by dropping it. To get it back, use the Miner suit to destroy a black rock next to the doghouse to reveal a question mark scanner symbol. Use the Undercover suit on it to find a bone covered in dog poop to the south. Grab it and place it in a bowl so that the dog can eat the bone and stop guarding the key. Grab the key, place it in a lock, and turn it to open the shed door. Inside the shed, pull a yellow lever to open the gates leading to the courtyard on the left. In the courtyard on the left, you will find Werner, a twin of Albert. He will tell you that you can operate a crane if you use 40,000 bricks to build one. If you don't have more than 40,000 bricks, look for Super Bricks. Climb the ledges in the upper left corner to find a large Super Brick inside a shed. Use the Robber suit to open the shed and grab it, increasing your bricks by 10,000. After grabbing it, go to the courtyard on the right to find a pile of black rocks in the center. Destroy them with the Miner suit to reveal a question mark scanner. Then, use the Undercover suit on it to find some bricks in a buried trapdoor in the bottom right corner. Use them to build an RC excavator, which you must control by pressing the action button from a designated place. With the RC excavator, go to one of the four piles of trash and press the attack button to dig it up. The first pile of trash is to the upper left of a ventilation floor; the second one in the center of the courtyard; the third one in the upper right corner and the fourth one in the upper left corner. One of them will have a large Super Brick. Grab it to increase your bricks by 10,000. In the south, you will see a large Super Brick in the air. Use the Construction suit to drill a ventilation floor and make a hole for a geyser to emerge that allows you to reach this large Super Brick, obtaining 10,000 more bricks. On the right side of the courtyard, use the Construction suit to drill another ventilation floor and make a hole for a geyser to come out that will allow you to reach the other side. On the other side of the courtyard, destroy all the objects on a hill to make a large Super Brick appear on the ledge to the left. It is recommended to do this with the pneumatic hammer from the Construction suit. When the large Super Brick appears, use a ladder to reach the ledge and grab it, getting 10,000 more bricks.
With all those four large Super Bricks you grabbed, you should have 40,000 bricks. When you have more than 40,000 bricks, go to the courtyard on the left, stand on the multicolored pad and use the 40,000 bricks to build an Industrial Crane. After building the crane, get on it and drive it to the designated spot in the courtyard on the right. When you get there, you will have to lift three pipes and place them in their respective trenches. Go to a pipe and when you see the green frame, press the attack button to pick it up. Then, place it in the trench that has the color that matches the pipe. The red pipe goes to the left, the yellow one to the middle and the green one to the right. By placing the three pipes in their respective trenches, the gates on the right will open. Take the crane to the right and you will talk to Eddie. When you finish talking to him, he will open the gates for you to finish the level.
