"Rayman - PS1"

Please could someone help me to get past Pencil Pentathlon on Picture City, I'm stuck and it's doing my head in! I get so far but can't jump between the moving pencils on the last level - i'm sure a pencil sharpener appears or something to jump on but i've tried everything!
P.S. J Nash need NOT reply!!

Oh yeah, that'll REALLY help...that's like drinking ten pints of Carling before trying to play a footie game! (Only more appropriate, if you've seen the adverts :)

Yes i've been killed loads of times - i could do with some more lives but i can't get the cheats password to load onto the machine to give me 99 lives - i'm sure i'd stand a better chance then. You're right too about the punching, i'm not usually a violent person but on this occasion........it's just sooooo frustrating being stuck for so long on a level of one game! :o( Perhaps the vodka i'm now drinking will help......will b back to chat in couple of hours or sooo.....hiccup! :o)

You have to be EXACT - one millimetre off could kill you. There may be an Elf around to shrink you, but I'm not sure. And if you meant what I think you meant by "I will do more than punch the pencils"...

yes i think i am in the bit you described. The problem is that Rayman is too big to fit through the pencil gap, if he was smaller there would be no probs. JUST USE THE FORCE - i will do more than punch the pencils......My target for the week-end is to finish the level!

if it doesnt work, dont blame me, i figured it out

try punching the pencils. they might fall down becoming platforms or something

Are you on the bit I described? Because it's been a month since I played the game, and I may be on about the wrong bit...I'm pretty sure I'm not, though. You may want to try searching on the Internet - I've checked out a good site for the PC version, and that bit is the same in the PSX version as it is in the PC version. If I remember the name of the site, I'll post it here.

I can't do it..........and i couldn't bear the thought of not speaking to you tonight!

Looks like either ajm007 is trying or it just didn't work...

I'm gonna try it right now - if i don't come back on tonight you know i haven't got past it yet! Watch this space........
