[edit] General Help
Your accuracy has alot to do with with your Mouse/mouse pad. With a "laser eye" type and a fabric topped pad works best, where as for a "ball" mouse plastic works better. But the main thing here is that a plastic topped pad and a "eye" mouse can mess up your accuracy same with a "ball" mouse on a fabric topped pad.
Your penguin dosn't have to be right under the bag to catch it. Try guestamating and you can catch bags that are right infront of fish without getting killed. Use the left fin as a guide. This also works for the flower pots but you have to be really good to do this with the anvil. You can also grab extra lifes like this.
Extra lifes are always good to get when you haven't perfected your game yet. My suggestion would be go for all of them just be sure you get them even if you die right after. Don't hesitate because then you will lose a life and miss the extra one. Look for the extra life at the beggining of each round, except the first round.
Also unload when ever you can and don't be afraid to push the limits and carry 5 bags.
[edit] Getting a high coin total:
Don't drop bags. If you pay attention you will realize that in the first round if you don't drop any bags you get a score of 100. everytime you drop a bag in this round it is minus 25. You should be able to catch 95 % of all the bags through round 3. The flower pot can hamper the easy aquisiton of bags.
Unload all 5 trucks. Once you can get to the point where you can get most of the bags in one through three youll get beter at the last two round progressivly. The 60 coin bonus for finishing is the cherry atop all outstanding scores.
It is called bean counters for a reason! Most people don't catch this but i'll try to explain. In round one you finish it by stacking the 20th bag. What you do is count your bags up to 19 but don't stack the 20th bag untill you are holding 5. When you have 5 unload all of them and you will have done 4 extra bags! Doing this in just the first roun makes your score go from 100 to 208. DO THIS ON EVERY LEVEL! lvl 1 ends at 20 bags, lvl 2 ends at 30, and so on. You can do this on round five if you want to the bonus points for catching them but in round five it won't let you stack more after 60.
