It was luckily easier on the wii ^^
I hated that level on the snes. *shivers*
Anyway. You could've made the first platform (moves vertically) to move off screen like in the original.
The flag pole should be put a lil bit (maybe 2 tiles or 3 more right)
I now understand how to get this flag pole in the original you jump on the platform then on the blocks and then over to the flag.
