- You don't need the ladder! Do you know that you can stand on top of the
- gremlins? You'll need this later too.
-
- What you do is run ahead of the two gremlins (they'll need to be a few
- paces apart) and climb the right ladder that is already there to get on
- the hand rail. Wait for the first gremlin to run up to you and just when
- he/she crosses under the gap under between the middle and right hand
- rails, move to the left. Because you'll momentarily be standing on the
- gremlim you wont fall down and so can get to the middle rail. Do the same
- to get to the left rail using the other gremlim. Kind of a hair-raising
- stunt, but it works!
-
- Anyone know how to get to all six coins in the boxed in area smack in the
- middle of screen 6? Thats where I'm stuck. I can get all but the
- upper-right most two in the box.
-
- Cool game. Requires quite a bit of thought too. And patience.
