I had problems with this for a while.  I eventually made it by collecting
all the magic rocks on the level I could find.  You can get quite a few
by running and jumping left from the first living axe-throwing statue.
(It takes quite a bit of work to run and jump completely hidden behind
a wall to get these, though.)

Once I had those, I grabbed the chilli that is right before the two leopards,
then jumped onto the opposite ledge.  I pelted both leopards with magic
stones until one jumped up to where I was, then used the whip to kill it
ASAP.  N.B.: You are nearly dead at that point, but then you only have
one leopard to deal with, and it should be at around 40%-70% health.
Timing is everything after you leap down to throw normal stones at it.
You can usually survive two or three contacts with the last leopard.
Try to start firing just after you reverse direction before you jump over
the oncoming leopard.  Sometimes you have time to peel off a shot, and
about 30% of the time you won't.  Still, all it takes is about 8-12 hits
then.

Neat game, though Abuse has been drawing more of my attention lately.

I read your post, then went back and played that level through. The ending
had me stumped at first, until I realized exactly what you said: it is
(nearly) impossible to simply stand there and bang them with rocks. So
don't. Hit the first one to wake him up, then start slamming them both with
power rocks (or whatever the explosive rocks are called). Eight or nine of 
these takes them both out.

What I did, was when I hit that level I had like 20 some odd exploding
rocks...and shortly before you get to the two jaguars you can grab a
chili pepper...so if you get it and don't waste time, you can jump up
on to the ledge on the other side(where now and them one jaguar will
jump up on) and just keep throughing the exploding stones and killing
both jaguars.  Quite easy I thought once I figured it out.
Now...to get past the warrior spirit on the last level.  :P

Of course, 5 minutes after I post this, I solve it.  Didn't have many
magic rocks, just stood in the middle and timed my jumps while pelting
them with regular rocks in rapid succession.  JUST did get them before
I hit my last breath.

Finished it too quickly- then again, I was on a pretty easy setting.

Problem is, what happens when you fail the first attempt?  Is there anywhere
on that level to collect magic stones?  I'm now stuck trying to pass the two 
leopards with 3 magic stones and a ton of stones. On my first attempt I was 
SOOOooo close to finishing them off.  I killed one with the magic stones while 
standing on the small ledge, and the other killed me while I accidentally tried 
to finish it off with normal stones rather than my boomerangs (I ran out of 
magic stones).  Now it seems that the level is impossible to finish.  I really 
do NOT want to have to do the mines again...

I found that just standing in the middle of the screen amd jumping when 
the two leopards charge at you worked pretty well and I just had to use 
regular stones.

I can beat the two leopard with 3 smart bombs.  Grab the little chili pepper and
jump to the left and get your free man and cure up to max.  Then go up to
the 2 leopards and attack the first one, dodging it and doing as much damage
with boomerangs as you can.  When the second one wakes up forget about doing
damage, just jump around them, jumping when they intersect each other's
path.  When one goes on the ledge, dodge the other one and shoot off all
your smart bombs.  Thens its just a matter of dodge, shoot, dodge shoot the
sling stones and climb the rope to freedom.

Anyone beat the last level?
