Mary Poppins' land is the sixteenth level of the Taxing difficulty in Lemmings. It is also the sixteenth level of the Hard difficulty in Lemmings Touch.
Strategy[]
Assign Floaters to the first two Lemmings, then assign a Blocker to the third Lemming at the steel edge. Allow the first Floater to scale the mountain, and drop at the other side. Assign a Builder to the second Floater to turn it around when it reaches 2/3 of the mountain. Assign another Builder to this Floater immediately after it turns around. Assign Builder skills to the Builder each time it runs out of stairs until it reaches the left ledge.
While this Lemming builds, assign a Builder to the right Floater within the craggy land once it walks past the lava pool, to turn it around. Assign a Builder to the Floater when it reaches the steel block at the left side of the lava pool; keep assigning Builders to it until it runs into the wall. Set the release rate to its maximum setting to ensure all Lemmings have arrived. Assign an Exploder to the Blocker to free all Lemmings. They will reach the Exit with about 40 seconds left.
100% Strategy (only works in Lemmings (1991) and its ports)[]
Instead of assigning a Blocker to any Lemming, assign Builders to the first four Lemmings such that each one's first brick is exactly aligned to the others, ensuring the other Lemmings are contained. Assign Floaters to all four Builders. Assign Builders to Floaters as specified in the standard level strategy. After doing so, instead of assigning an Exploder to any Lemming, assign a Builder to any Lemming directly ahead of the staircases to get all Lemmings across.
ZX Spectrum strategy[]
Turn the first Lemming into a Floater while the second Lemming is turned into a Blocker behind it. Once the Floater has made it to the top of the second row of steel blocks in the slope, make it build to turn him around, the build twice to the left to reach the pillar and create a safety net for the other Lemmings. Let him walk back down his ramp then bash through the slope. Bomb the Blocker once there is a path to the exit and raise the release rate to 99.
