Jumping on the trampoline on the train

[solthesungod2]

I literally can't get up past this point. They don't seem to jump high enough.

Has anyone been able to do this on the keyboard. I can't bring up the hint but I imagine I should just be pressing J and moving one of them and that should be enough.

Help?

Did you hold down jump?

Of course!

Really stupid question, but did you push it all the way to the right?

[solthesungod2]

Yeah I think it might be because I am using the keyboard. Maybe.

I was literally trying it for ages. I gave up for now and am doing the side missions.

[solthesungod2]

Okay I am losing it. I am holding down j and pressing the directional buttons. What am I pressing here?

Eh, I vaguely remember this level but I believe only 1 of tthe characters was able to jump the distance rquired.

I tried both characters. I've also watched videos of the jump and seen both characters do it with relative ease. It's like they aren't going high enough and when I press or hold the directional buttons they just fall off the trampoline.

I don't think I ever had to 'jump' off the trampoline. I think I just hit the jump button and allowed it to bounce me up there instead of trying to 'jump' off the trampoline for the extra height.

This is one of those levels that the playable characters are able to jump just high enough, with the help of the trampoline, to reach the top of the boxcar. Unfortunately it doesn't allow room for error and it took me several tries, even with a PC game controller.

I'm having a similar problem with the female character I'm to hypnotize to help her climb the castle tower. I can't get her to jump high enough to reach the first retracting platform, but it's probably my timing is off. Like you, I've watched videos online of her jumping with ease onto the first platform and onto the others that follow, and yet I still can't get her to do it.

In your case, all I can suggest is have either Kid Colt or Starlord jump up as close to the edge of the opening of the boxcar and hope his foot catches the ledge to walk onto it. I have faith in you that you'll get it.

And once you "stick the landing," just hope the bullseye on the back of the cannon doesn't suddenly vanish on you as it has for so many of us. Because if that happens, you'll have to start the train ride level all over again... and again and again until that bullseye remains and Kid Colt can shoot it, firing Starlord at MODOK to end the level.

I'm using a game pad - just realized today that you HOLD jump (a) for me.... This was HORIFICALLY frustrating!

BUT I can't speak to how keyboards work!

they work the same way just with a different button as A is not jump for keyboard

[solthesungod2]

I actually got it to work by tricking the gam)(accidently). I jumped off the train and one of the characters jumped up.

i cant too

[Talyc Verda]

Anyone found a way to do this? I have tried just about ever playing around with everything in the video settings, and still no luck.

I'm having the same problem. I have the PC version. I've switched the video settings back and forth multiple times and I've held the jump button. The game is saved at the train part so unless I want to start the whole level over, I'm stuck where I'm at.
