Woot for you! I still need to give it another try...
Thanks! If I can do it, you can do it.
Here's my attempt to explain it:
When you get the the snake screen, hop your way down to the bottom left corner. As the snake moves, get yourself to the top left. I honestly did not shoot at him at all yet. Then, look out for the winding snake and work your way to the top right corner.
From here, stay on the top row, turn to the left and shoot, shoot, shoot. It iwll begin to put little rings around him. (I didn't understand that this was what I actually wanted.) As he moves down a little, jump down 1 row and keeping shooting at him. As he curves down, jump around him and shoot at him a few more times. Once he is all blue, jump ON him. (Again, I didn't know this was what I was trying to do.) Then jump on him 2 or 3 more times. He will fall apart and you win.
One other important tip that has been mentioned above and is KEY imho: Get really good at the previous screens so you head into the snake screen with as many lives as possible. You will need them, and the bonuses are crucial to hitting the 100K goal.
Hope that helps..... somehow.
Did I mention, woo hoo!!!

? (sorry, have to work today and not having that dumb snake running around in my thoughts today will be sooo wonderful!)
