The tip about using 2 hands for craning is a real good one. That's how I do it and it works great. I haven't seen that tip posted before, so thank you

It's that time! Time for zerotyplosions ULTIMATE CRANING GUIDE! WOOPEE!

To open this up I would like to say that getting craning down and good is very challenging, but don't give up on it!

From the top.

1. When the battle with the CFO starts the race is on. You will have to run to the crane near you before the other toon gets there. Mostly pure luck is involved here so don't go around braggin that you are "Master of Getting to the Crane first."

2. With Mata Hairys tips in mind use your arrow pad to move the crane. Remember, using both hands while craning does help a lot. Basic functions for this. Left arrow moves it left, right arrow moves it right ect.
Now it gets tough. You will have to throw the crane forward in the direction of a disabled goon. If it looks like its near it press down on the "Ctrl" key. YOU MUST HOLD THE "CTRL" KEY DOWN OR ELSE THE GOON WILL BECOME DISLODGED!. If you miss it use the arrow key to throw the crane back and then whip it forward again. Remember, practice makes perfect!

3. When you have a disabled goon aim the magnet directly in front of the CFO. Bring the goon forward with the up arrow then bring it back then whip it forward again. When its at 1/2 way of its little thrust up let go of the goon. It should hirt the CFO. It's challenging to get this right so keep trying!
Note: Goons do not do damage if the CFO has a safe on his head.

4. Mostly the color goon you get depends on the CFO's color.

Green: Small yellow goonies mostly.
Yellow: Large yellow goonies mostly, leftover small yellow may still hang around.
Orange: Small-Big orange goonies, leftover yellows may still roam about.
Red: Big orange goonies small- Big red goonies. Leftover smaller oranges and yellows may yet again, still roam about.

5. Safe tip time!
When you are navigating a safe, it might be tricky at first. Grab a safe by using crane tecniques. Holding the Ctrl key is a must. Get the safe aimed diectly in front of the CFO. Pull the safe forward using up arrow key, when its fully up bring it back again using the down key, when its back thrust it forward one last time and when its at the top of its swing let that puppy go.
Note: ONLY THROW SAFES WHEN THE CFO HAS A SAFE ON HIS HEAD OR HE IS CONFUSEDWhen he is confused he will have birdies flying around his head.

Congrats!!! You're on your way to become a crane master!
