It's rather hard, but once you learn how you won't forget it. Let go of the vine at the very highest point, and you'll be flung straight to the next vine. It's very particular about it.  If it's the bit with the alligator that you're stuck on then here's a little tip: As you're grinding the vine before the chase begins (straight after the checkpoint), there's a balloon with an extra life in along the way. If you get the life every time you attempt it, then you can practice the vines as much as you like without having to worry about your life count dropping so drastically. |

simply put, its all about timing. Don't wait for it to swing back and then forward again, otherwise you'll get caught very easily.

That uber-croc killed me about 20 times until I got the hang of it, never had any trouble with vines since though  Just jump about 1 second after you hit each vine, that's usually the the time it takes for it to be atit's highest point. Mike |

;D sorry, that made me laugh like a lunatic.  anyways, if you figured the croc olout in 2 tries, you are better than most of us... took me 11 times before I tried the quick swinging thingy  |

Took me a fair few tries, but I found that listening out for the sound of the vines swinging was the best indicator of when to TAP A. I occassionally held it and thus ended up 'jumping' immediately off the next vine to my doom.
Now, however, my frustration is vented on Robot Storm, after Mystic Mansion, where I keep inadvertantly launching myself off cliff ledges when fighting the three juggernaut thingies. Tip anyway - use the covered box to launch your attacks from and you won't get hit. Knuckles will, however, usually fall off whenever you call Sonic and Tails to his fists.
