Purple Death assistance!

[Keyser Soze]

I've been through the game and knocked out several of the achievements, currently I'm focusing on getting all things purple. I'm in the mines, and I've not had too much trouble with the times, those are all purple now. I can't for the life of me seem to work out "Caution, hot surfaces" for purple deaths, though. I can't do better than 2 deaths. Any tips?

Well, I'm back... I realize I'm late to the party and not many are still playing this game, but if you could give me a tip or two that'd be great. I've gotten the mines purple now, but I'm stuck in the mountains on "Ice-mobile". I really don't see how any less than 3 deaths is possible, but that's only gold, not purple. Help!?

I was stuck on the same spot for ages. it's kind of bs, but you need to push the first float over so that it's tilted over the button. It wont actually push the button but when the lava rises you can jump over the fire thing onto the next checkpoint

~A year is probably too late to help you, but for others searching the issue, it's an insanely tight timing. Push the first frozen knight as high up the slope as possible before riding it. Jump off at JUST the right moment while moving right, and your jump will hit the button and clear the flame before it springs up, landing in the checkpoint. From there it's just 1 more ice block through the flame to the finish.

At the very least in current version, this jump seems to be much easier (read: actually possible) if you do it from standing position below the button (under the right edge?). Trying to hit the button from the sliding block consistently lands you straight into fire, in the rare cases when you manage to hit it in the first place.
