After a short break of letting the adrenaline ease out (perhaps with the assistance of a nice, cold

) I thought I'd let you have a fun piece of information about my last run. Believe at your own risk (because I certainly did it at MY risk).
On the level right before the pass, I somehow managed to kill all the blobs before killing the pear. I lost two lives to it, and finally managed to down it with no lives left. That was a ridiculous feat... I'm not even quite sure how I managed it, but no matter, it worked.
Also I was quite surprised, since I don't look at Cadomax I had no idea that was the last level before the pass... I kinda expected the levels to extend to infinity until I was out of lives.
Last thing I'm curious about... on the Tomb level with the red gem, does it randomly pick whether that wall appears, or was I too quick for it and got past before it could show up once?
