HEADACHE is the sixth level of the Circus Tribe in Lemmings 2: The Tribes.
Gold medal strategy
Make the first lemming a Bomber by the wall to clear it. This should cause two lemmings to walk side by side, so have one of the them bomb the thin patch of terrain just before the thick wall leading down to a deadly drop. All lemmings should now drop into the chamber below, but one lemming will be blown away across the level onto the platform leading to the exit. Make that lemming bomb the platform located above the right-hand side of the trampoline below.
Your lemmings will begin accumulating on a trampoline in a pit, so use two Glue Pourer skills to cover it. Then use the Fencer skill to clear the wall and drop in the pit below. Now move the cannon as needed so that when your lemmings are launched, they will bump again the platform and continuously land on the trampoline until they pass through the third Bomber's hole and walk towards the exit. It will take about half of the time allotted for all lemmings to be saved.
Game Boy/Game Gear strategy
Make the first lemming fence through the first wall then make it jump twice to get ahead of the others. When he takes a couple of steps onto the thick wall, give him a Magic Bridge so that all lemmings can bypass the pit below and reach the exit.
SNES strategy
Fence through the first obstacle and send a Climber and Slider over the wall. This Trailblazer will enter the cannon and be shot on the opposite side of the exit. He will climb another wall, hit his head and drop down so make him pour glue as soon as he lands. Free the other lemmings by fencing through the wall.
