This was good timing. While I didn't really need it on this level, it was pivotal in guaranteeing me that extra life... So I could lose it on 54.12.1.8, like so many lives past. At least I got a little more practice on it though, that one's the only truly tricky one of the Howling Metal levels. This was a pretty good run for me though, I died so much on standard levels and ended up entering hell with only 7 lives. I'd do so much better if I wasn't an idiot before getting there

.
Oh yeah, also the pineapple killed itself on level 6 or 7, whichever one that is. I think it's 7. It jumped right up onto the spikes! It was pretty funny, though I've never had much trouble with that level.
