I'm stuck on level 5! I know how to get rid of the monster, but not how to get over all of the spikes. I thought I had to hitch a ride on said monster, but no matter how hard I tried, I still can't jump far enough to reach the flagpole! I don't understand the help line's hint there, either.
EDIT: I know that the coach and Olympic Committee are required for that level, but I still can't jump without the help of the monster.
EDIT 2: I did it!
