are you playing the Japanese version or the american version?

It's the 4th on the Japanese version, 3rd on the American one (although both are L=04. It's the 4th on the Japanese because you get an elevator board on L=01. First one on the American version is L=02)

I love days off from work (thank you snow) - I just got 125,600 - by far my highest score. I think I've got a good idea how to beat that pesky 3rd elevator stage since I've been able to do it a few times now - once I get past there I'm good for another 30,000 points. I am getting closer to my NEW goal of 200,000!!! Woo hoo!!!

I get by this stage pretty regularly although there is always a time where a random barrel will disrupt my flow or do something unexpected. I'm OK in avoiding those - it's the random ones that DK just hurls at you that seem to be the ones that get me - wrong place wrong time.
As for tips, I never take the first hammer and 99.9% of the time I can get to the 4th level by just racing up as fast as I can knowing that 2 barrels typically drop on the long ladder between 2 and 3. I always take the second hammer for points and as a way to (almost) guarantee safety until the bottom of the ladder in the upper right. Also, a really big thing to know is that you can jump over a barrel while running in the same direction as it is coming at you (AWAY from you). This saves me at least 2 or 3 times every time I play and gets me through what used to look like an impossible scenario based on the spacing of the barrels. I hope this helps. :cheers:

I can only get about 37,000 so I dont have anything helpful to say. I never made it to the stage with the conveyer belts before so I lost all my lifes there, Im getting better, I think I need a 4 way stick
