Would appreciate any help for the lower part of this level.... from the yellow button down. If you need to be super fast, then I am SOL

hightlight to read wrote:You're probably stepping on the yellow button too soon. You already have to do some waiting to safely get the coin to the right of the yellow button, correct? Do that waiting before you step on the yellow button, not after.
Using the keyboard is highly recommended for this level.

What a dunce I am...I wasn't seeing the zbots that are there to help me! Best not to 'save' between moves on this one. Thanks guys.

Okay I have read the hints, but I cannot get past that shooting cannon after I go down and collect that rainbow coin in direct line of fire.....I have to have it in order to get to the star.....and I have completed the other 2 levels...but this one! In Retro.....I do not seem to be able to move Stinky fast enough to get out of the line of fire.....
Does anyone have any suggestions?

I am just not getting this. I read the hints but seems like waiting BEFORE I step on the yellow button I just sit there. What am I not seeing. Any help here?

Sorry when I wrote the hint I didn't think of the one wrong thing people are likely to try. (Since this level was in the very first original Wonderland game, my mind immediately recalls what it had already solved, so I'm a little slow in seeing the wrong approaches people are trying.) Anyway:
highlight to read wrote:You are not fast enough to get through the purple and blue buttons/gates by yourself, that's what the z-bots are there for. But the z-bots will go as soon as you hit the yellow button, so you can't stop moving once you step onto the yellow button, or the timer buttons the z-bots activated will time out. And you have to time your move against cannon fire to safely get the coin right of the yellow button. This involves waiting, so you want to do your waiting before stepping on the yellow button.
I think Salin signed up for doing a video solution for this adventure on Mette's site, so if you're still having trouble, wait a few more days for the video.

Thanks so much for the reply..will try, try again. The video has not shown up yet on Mettes site according to my puter, don't know why. Don't know why but I am having a much more difficult time with this WA almost to the point of giving up...seems to be so much more difficult than casual gaming now...<<<sigh>>> Oh well...enough of the rant. Onwards.....
I raise scritters for pets....so if your dog is hungry.....

I didn't see it either, but I tell you that I was about to give up and then didn't.......what I can tell you is that you have to Time it Big Time....and it all starts with the first cannon firing.....you must go quickly "right after the cannon fire whizzes by you".....to step on the yellow button.
Gee.....I hope that is not a spoiler that I should have put in disguise!
