Ok the first part of the kid was really hard and took me a long time to "get down" but now im onto the second part and ive spent as much time on it but I CANT get it down!
 
I can pass the halfway point  but then at the 3rd elevator I never can make it past the 3rd spike! 
 
Anyone else having the same problem?

I just posted in another topic, but yeah. I found the super narrow spike elevator going DOWN was the hardest part of that entire Warp Zone. There are a couple of ways to deal with it. One is sitting really close to the screen to make out the pixel width between The Kid and those nefarious spikes. Another less helpful idea is getting down a rhythm. The hardest part of that is finding a place to start.
 
One my problems was getting past the first two spikes on the Down Elevator and then hesitating, fearing I'd go too fast, and end up dying. Once you go, you have to always keep moving. There's not enough leeway to stop on the down elevator. I tried to go wall to wall, but there's actually enough room to stay toward the middle of the elevator and quickly bob back and forth. Not that it makes it any easier.
 
In the event that you actually make it past the Third Elevator, I strongly urge you to hit pause and collect yourself. There is nothing worse than getting to the last "fairly easy" elevator and freaking out, making a bad jump and dying. Like I did. Enough rage to kill an elephant is not healthy.

It's the hardest part and I wouldn't even bother looking with your eyes or thinking at that part, you just need to know the timing in your fingers.  If you're trying to use your reflexes to respond to what your eyes see you'll never make it.
 
The 4th elevator is easy, just don't psyche yourself out.  I was lucky and finished that one on the first try.

This is not encouraging to try and even work on beating the first level which I have difficulty with. 
 
Is it at least shorter than the first one?

When finally doing that right, I closed my eyes and just pressed either left or right based on the timing I'd gotten down to muscle memory from dying on that thing so damn much.

Yeah, if you get The Kid you'll quickly find out he's kind of a game breaker in most situations. There's a Dark World level in the Salt Factory he can absolutely destroy since he can jump over the wall of saw blades with his double jump and skip the entire level. Not to mention, he can easily by pass obstacles that require crazy wall jumps.

had the exact same problem, then it became the 5th spike, then I did it, now I have The Kid ...And never use him
 
It's all just perseverance

I'm having such a hard time here, 
That third elevator is insane, I just cannot get the timing down.

Just completed this level and I have to say it was a fluke.
 Persistance is required, same for the 3rd level :(

I'll be honest, the 3rd level pissed me off more than anything. I think it was just because it was a physical strain at times, all that jumping :S.
