It took me about 2,000 tries on my iPhone to get from 1:01,84 to 59:xx. Within a 5 minute time frame after that, I got it twice more. Asside from efficiently navigating the dino's back, the Kong lettering is the trickiest part for me.
welcome to the "under a minute" club. as you can see, it's pretty exclusive on this level.
you have to know how to play EVERY part of the map to land a 59.xx or better.
I had this gold too, once upon a time. The dino's (Godzilla?) back is definitely the annoying part, but I don't remember playing it more than 2000-3000 times.
This is one of the many levels that you just have to play a bunch of times to get used to the different bounces. Once you get it, you get it.
