I have tried and tried... to get past the spikes to get to the PS in the concert hall, but I cannot get acros before being killed and jhaving to start again!!

Can anyone help by using my saved game and enable me to get past this part so I can get to the side game that involves shooting the PS with arrows.

I would be grateful for any help given.

You probably mean those spikes that run circular.

Here's a trick I used: When you jump on a 9x9 grid where the spikes are running, RUN ALONG WITH THE SPIKES. If you circle the grid behind the spikes you'll stay safe for a while, because you should be as fast as the spikes I think, maybe even faster. Just run along with the spikes and time a good moment to jump to the next 9x9 grid, and quickly run along the pattern of the spikes. Btw: it's better to have the spikes in front of you then behind you.

If you follow this plan the only damage you'll receive is if you land on top of a spike, but that is acceptable.

Keep trying nonstop. Theres no penalty from dying too many times unlike a few other minigames. So you can keep going without worrying. I'm pretty sure you should call it the "Phantom" though, due to how he dresses and the spiffyness.

The concert hall, after getting the key from Celestria's, which you can go to after Val Parra Cafe, which you can do after becoming grand champion. Yeah, its involved.

Alright...

Have you defeated Exmus in the arena championship? Have you then gone to the house of pnoe and talked to everyone? You should hear about Alan having tickets for you to the Val Parra Cafe. Then just go in his house and it should be on one of the tables. Click it and start that little mini-thing without getting kicked out.

If you really wanted one of us could just edit the save so you are on the other side of the spikes, but we'd need the save file.

If you do have lots of trouble at this bit, use this technique

1) notice that there is one safe spot in the battle with the phantom where you can stand.

2) of the six or so arrows thrown to you each "round", there is one to the top left where you can very easily aim true. Shoot that one arrow only, then scatter the rest of the arrow.

3) quickly flip the switches again to help "the guy who throws you arrows" throw you more arrows ;). You should remember the switch pattern after trial-and-error two, three times.

Ohhh you weren't talking about the Phantom X_x You could always just edit a walkway across the area and just walk across.

how can a bridge (walkway) leading across to the phantom be edited into this game?
