Ah, by the way, for whoever doesn't know what to do yet, you have to jump while he's coming at you, land IN FRONT of him while touching the coin, quickly jump again through the coin and in the meantime, make your clone jump on top of him and make him land (roughly) on top of you.
This happens in a nick of time, so you can't really plan it, just rush, jump and hope for the best.
I did it in a slightly different way which resulted in my guys still being a bit apart from each other, but they were close enough to allow me to complete the level without any problems...
I propose a simpler alternative.
Instead of doing acrobatics and making sure the clone lands on top of the same guy, all within the space of roughly one second, I simply jumped, touched the coin and killed the....thing....then as you bounce back up move as far left in the air (so as the avoid the fireball) and land as far to the left edge of the platform as possible without falling off.
So now you have 2 guys spaced apart, but the distance separating them is just slightly larger than the gap between that platform and the next (the one with 4 enemies). So you can jump left such that you have one guy on the next platform, while the other guy now on the left edge of the same platform. Take your time killing the 4 enemies. To get the other guy over, jump straight up, and hold left as you are landing. From there on it's straightforward.
Might sound slightly complicated in words, but I found it much easier to do than the make-sure-the-guy-stacks-perfectly acrobatics.
