Seems to be the ruddy pie factory or the rivets screen. I still haven’t mastered the elevators screen and the “turn back” on the wrong spring either.
All pretty standard thenRetro_Russ said:
The springs are always tricky but once you've got it, then it should be the one screen which you never die on as there are no random deaths once you can see the springs. I assume you run on a long bounce and then cross your fingers? What I do is wait for the long bounce then run but keep an eye on the next spring entering. You will get a feel from where it enters if it's going to be a long bounce or a short bounce and can then decide to turn around or carry on up. If you're using emulators then you can set a save state and just keep practicing until you have it mastered.
The pies and the rivets can be nasty and you can easily end up in a non avoidable death, especially on the rivets. Patience is key on these levels and especially so on the pie factory. If you can't get the easy free pass up the right side, then grab the bottom hammer. Don't be afraid to retreat back down to the very bottom if the fireballs aren't playing nice. Try to keep as far away from them as possible. If you can't get quickly up the right side, then it's much easier to go up the left if you've been hanging around as the fireballs move more speedily form left to right, so tend to gravitate towards the right side once they have reached the top.

That IS a great score, no bones!
I really need to get back to playing regularly... I think I've pretty much forgotten everything about how to play by now!

I know this is very trivial but I just achieved my 1st 100k game on mame. 113,500. Feel like the monkey is off my back (to use a pun that’s probably been used many times before!)
100k is a great score

Cheers! It’s taken me a while & unsurprisingly it’s 3rd level springs that’ve been the main sticking point. I’ve been going for it on the long spring with fingers crossed but haven’t mastered the ‘run back’ yet. I’m amazed how folks get the really high scores though as random deaths on the barrel stages seem highly probable!
