Just got through the stage. Overall fun, but I might have a few colorful words about that spinning wheel near the end. e.e"
Also luckily I managed to save the electric state til the end. Made the boss far easier.
Unrelated, but changed the title format because I thought the previous one was too visually polluted. Hopefully it looks better now.
The spinning barrel at the end can be solved by jumping on it and holding Up or Down to match the direction of the barrel. It will make the bounce distance enormous enough to hop off on the down swing.
Doesn’t help the wheel doesn’t seem to take inputs until the player first jumps on it to get it moving. "<.<
Also, I didn’t get to test it, but with how much the player can actually move the wheel, I wouldn’t find far fetched to think the player can get crushed by the ceiling too.

Ah, yes, that infamous barrel. Claims many a hedgehog’s life due to timing out. I did actually manage once or twice as a kid to get under it through fast and clever jumping, until I only learned in adulthood that you’re supposed to move the D-pad up and down to control it. Really doesn’t help that the game doesn’t show you before how to control a barrel like that, and that stage can push players to the edge of danger timewise with or without that barrel.

I imagine as kids we eventually got through it on accident. Like out of frustration we mashed the down button to make our jump land harder and it actually worked xD
