The upgraded saw trap (officially, the saw trap extended) is a deadlier version of the (basic) saw trap. Similar in structure to its predecessor, the trap itself is encased in an indestructible steel block with a mechanism holding the saw coming out of an opening near the center of the block. The saw, composed of six curved blades arranged circularly, remains stationary until activation; exposing only 3 or 4 of the blades during rest.

As a timed trap, the saw's mechanism cyclically activates (approximately) every 20 seconds. When activated, the blades begin to spin as the arm lowers the saw near the ground, killing any of the unlucky lemmings caught walking under the trap. Two pairs of smaller arms are also simultaneously extended side-wards, with a pair holding smaller blades that slice at the top and midsection of the adjacent tiles to the left and the right. Another pair of arms, with even smaller blades, also extend down to slice at the bottom corners of the central tile.

Properties

• The blades are capable of destroying destructible blocks given 4 hits from the trap
• Any of the blades will instantly kill a lemming upon contact, including those carried by balloons or bubbles towards the blades, sometimes even when the trap is at rest
• The entire central tile becomes a fatal zone while the saws are active
• Blockers staying at the center of the adjacent tiles remain safe and out of reach of the blades
• Floaters can avoid the reach of the saws by using an umbrella (parasol) to float down while sticking close to the far edges of the adjacent tile
  • This is done by triggering the umbrella instruction as early as possible (by placing it right at the drop-off point)
  • This is not possible when floating down from lemming structures (like stairs and bridges)
