It looks like this, right ('cuse the artwork)?

You don't need the ladder! Do you know that you can stand on top of the  
gremlins? You'll need this later too.

What you do is run ahead of the two gremlins (they'll need to be a few  
paces apart) and climb the right ladder that is already there to get on  
the hand rail. Wait for the first gremlin to run up to you and just when  
he/she crosses under the gap under between the middle and right hand  
rails, move to the left. Because you'll momentarily be standing on the  
gremlim you wont fall down and so can get to the middle rail. Do the same  
to get to the left rail using the other gremlim. Kind of a hair-raising  
stunt, but it works!

Anyone know how to get to all six coins in the boxed in area smack in the  
middle of screen 6? Thats where I'm stuck. I can get all but the  
upper-right most two in the box.

Cool game. Requires quite a bit of thought too. And patience.
