Looking for some help on DK2 . On Level 2/1 How do you know when the fireball is going too shoot up out of the Fire Pit?

On the 2nd Mario Pie Factory how do you get past the 2 fire balls in the corner?

Thankyou everyone that responds!
 
Looks like it the "Incenerator", where you have to get all the hearts to counter balance the top platform. Just havent got the timing down yet. I literally just put this kit in this afternoon, I'm sure Ill get the hang of it soon enough.
 
One thing to keep in mind, the fireballs don't switch directions mid way, except on the foundry (1st), conveyor (4th), elevator (6th) and the rivets (8th). They won't switch until they either hit the end of the platform, or possibly go up/down a ladder. Use this to your advantage for timing.

You don't, but only 1 comes up at a time so I time my jump when it's not in the space i'm jumping to.

I'd like to get that answer too.

Very good advice ^^^^^^
 
Not quite understanding I'm talking about the Fireballs that Shoot up into the Air? There Is'nt a Patteren too them? Is there a way of knowing which Fire Pit they are going too shoot up from.

I have never been able too pass the fire balls on the far corner before you could get too the end of the 2nd Marios Oven Level.

Yeah that board with the hearts had me stuck for awhile. I watched some videos on Youtube that really helped me with that.
 
On level second Foundry, I'm not sure there's any pattern. What I do is just try to manuver the best I can on the moving platforms. I've started to find that you can jump around a lot more than I originally anticipated. Once you get the the top level of platforms (and I mean the very top ones that move right to left) the fireballs won't kill you.

The incinerator didn't take me as long as the mixer. The jump under the pie maker took me quite a while to figure out. I'm still boycotting the youtube videos to see if I can make it myself. The third Foundry, when two fireballs fly up at once, that's pretty tough!
 
oh crap next 2 fireballs come out.. thats great news *DOH*

So theres no way of telling when the fireballs are going too spring up from?

No pastern that I can tell on the fireballs on Foundry.

Are you talkin about level 2-7 with the falling pies and the fireball on the top right? It's pretty simple you can either time it so the fireball is all the way to the left so when you jump it you're right behind him and can go straight to the ladder. Or when the fireball is to the right of the platform so when you jump the gap you have to jump the fireball right away, then immediately jump him again after he turns around, then run up the ladder. It's easy once you get the hang of it, just be patient.

Foundry the fireballs that fire up into the air. The Mixer with the 2 Fireballs on 2/7 in the upper corner.

I only rember the one fireball in the upper right corner on that level. It's pretty much on a back and forth pattern on that platform there. I just wait for it to start moving right, make my jump and head up the ladder. The fireball won't follow you. I've only been there a couple times so far but that's worked up until now.
 
When you go through that level the 2nd time there is 2 Fireballs that keep going back and forth .. One moves the other one is in your way.

His screenshot shows what it looks like on level 3. I don't think there's more than 1 fireball up there. It just keeps adding them in other places. I think it might add one more on the row by the hat on level 4, but I'm not sure...My highest is the Incinerator on level 3. The thing I described about the fireballs not switching directions is on all 3 of the new boards except the Foundry, and also the Barrel board. On level 2, when the blue barrel hits the oil tank, it shoots fireballs up the other rows, including one on the top row. I assume that's why he changed the AI of the fireballs on the Barrel board, to give you a chance on the top row.

Is it possible you have version 1, where the difficulty is harder? I only have one fireball in the top right corner on the mixer board on level 2.

I think its cool how all of the levels play a little differently. The fireballs on the Rivet level act a little differnt. The barrels act a little different on the barrel board. Pretty cool.
 
yeah drives me insane! Seems like the Barrel board is easyer being the 2nd screen.
