    So, I just bought this Saturday, its been really fun so far. It took me a good bit of time to work out some of the intricacies of world 3 (the one where time moves forward/backward when you're going right/left). I kept having to catch myself from thinking if I could just run a bit faster I can dodge that enemy.

    There's still one piece in the 3rd world I haven't been able to get:
    where you have to get a key up to a door and you have to go up two ladders, but the second ladder is to the left of the first one. So when you try to go up the second ladder the key goes back in time and you lose it. There's a switch there where you can move a platform to "catch" the little goomba like enemy who is green sparkley. I think I need to leave the key at the top of the first ladder, catch the goomba, have him move the key for me, then grab the key before he falls. Problem is that if I stomp the goomba, it bumps me up to the level where the door is on, so when I try to get back down the key has gone back to where it was when the goomba picked it up.

    Chrono you have the right idea with that spoilered puzzle, you're just doing it slightly wrong.
    Notice to the left (right before the goomba thing falls down) there is a little ledge that you can't jump through.

    I don't remember that, but I'll keep a look out for it tonight. Thanks!

    Another solution:
    Just let the monster pass under you and die in the fire while waiting on top of the ladder, then rewind until the key is beneath the ladder. Important part is never pressing left of course, or the key resets to a silly position instead of following the path the monster went.

    World 5 is such a mind fuck, no wonder you can skip to the next world instead of just next levels like in previous worlds.
