Is there any other way than rolling the pumpkin to get a bag from Linus on Great Pumpkin island?

Answer 1

No.

Here's some helpful hints:

1) Roll slowly over the hills, so that it doesn't get away.

2) After the first flag, don't let the rabbits come up under the pumpkin, otherwise it'll be sent flying.

3) The second flag is at the bridge. Roll the pumpkin as fast as you can, so that it can roll all the way through the hollow log.

4) At the valley, push the pumpkin UP the hill, not DOWN the hill. Also keep pushing it at the valley, or the strong wind will automatically make the pumpkin go down the steep hill.

5) Pass the third flag and roll slowly to the swing set. Stop next to the first girl, then cross all three kids at once when they swing to the back.
