It's not over 'til it's over is the third of four Special Replacement Levels. It takes the level 15 slot of Taxing, replacing What an AWESOME level.
Strategy[]
Let the first Lemming turn around at the brick wall while the second Lemming builds a ramp to it while heading left (the ramp should be at least 9 bricks high). Meanwhile the first Lemming should dig while under the starting platform until the pit is deep enough to contain Lemmings. Then have it build to stop and build back to the right so that Lemmings can escape the pit.
Turn one Lemming heading right into a Climber so that it gets over the brick wall, and have it dig when its at the very edge so that it survives the fall. Use the last Builder skill left to build to the exit. Once the path is safe, turn one of the other Lemmings into a Miner when its heading right at the top of the Builder's ramp. This should let the Lemmings pass through the brick wall and land safely onto the platform below. Raise the release rate to 99.
Sega Master System and Game Gear Strategy[]
In the Sega Master System and Game Gear versions, this level is a lot easier than the previous special replacement level. You've been given a generous 20 from each skill!
Make the first lemming a Climber before the brick wall and the second lemming dig low enough to hold him (You'll need the hole to be 10 to 12 pixels) and the other lemmings and build to stop his digging. The height is JUST high enough for the climber to survive the fall. Use a builder at the edge of the brick platform to the exit. Make a lemming going right build or climb out of the hole and then dig where he finishes climbing. 3 digs would be enough. Bash through the brick wall into the first platform. They'll all get to the exit.
