Aha, Mad. You keep trying those frustrating levels, and it sounds like the tough practice is making your skills improve faster.

I kind of like that approach. (Just remember not to get upset over deaths, and to focus on accomplishments instead. It's a fun game, and every

is a learning experience!)
Good things for me:
313

6th Book of Mushrooms (+6th and 7th Silver Mushrooms)

(And hey, ANS, I see you've been updating my Tower of Greed count all this time. Thanks.

I added the total number of c5 items to the bottom, to save you some counting tedium.)
Now I'm making it well into Howling Metal on every game, and into Tuber's Tomb about half the time. (Before, just getting past 54.8 was mostly a matter of luck.) I guess this means I can start adding the Hell levels up through 54.10 to my point runs.
