Is there any sure strategy for clearing 90 safely, aside from "hope that Pineapple #2 doesn't park his fat butt under #1's platform so that you have no safe place to land"?

Also, what exactly are the requirements for not getting thrown all over the place when they jump? I thought that standing still would mean that Igor just falls on his face instead of off to one side or the other (usually into spikes), but that only seems to work half the time. I've also seen him get tossed when he was in the air -- usually in close spaces when he's near (but definitely not touching) a platform or wall.

Does anyone know exactly how that works?

Making sure you're in the air when they land will keep you safe, unless you're standing IN the blast radius of their jump-stomp. If you're outside of it, you should be fine and can continue on your merry way; if you're inside the radius, it'll throw you all over the place, usually into spikes/enemies.

I... didn't know there WAS a blast radius. That certainly explains a lot. Thanks, Joe!

Hmm... maybe landing between the spikes would

Landing between the spikes is safe as long as the 2nd pineapple does not do its stomp vlose to you...

Ack, what happened to that post? Sorry, I was saying that maybe landing between the spikes would be safe if Pineapple #2 isn't nearby. Worth a try!

The video on Cadomax is ridiculously unhelpful for this level, because the pineapples never stomp even once (the last one is killed just before he stomps).

I always stand between the first two spikes on the bottom left, and you're correct. Unless Pn#2 is right next to you, you won't get hurt. Keep in mind that if you are inside their blast radius, you'll get knocked around even if you are standing still on a platform.

Can someone please give me a link to a picture of what the eco-terrorist pony disguise looks like?

However if you are affected by the blast-radius it takes less time to recover and start walking. So sometimes (especially on levels with strawberries that kill you every time you decide to take a nap) it is better to get into the radius if you have no way to jump.

I agree (about the Cadomax video). When I play, there is usually at least one stomp before I even get to the left drop at the top walkway. Isn't it irritating how in some of those videos, the enemies behave as if the player is controlling them?

Anyway, when I said that level 90 with a bad start is almost impossible in the good things thread, I didn't mean the problem of #2 parking under #1. That's irritating, but usually doesn't result in losing more than 1 life. My problem is that with 4 pineapples alive, the ground is shaking almost non-stop. Don't have enough time for a bomb to explode without it being dislodged. It gets worse when Igor knocks #1 off his ledge; but he lands on a lower ledge. #1 then starts running, making him even harder to hit.
