Before finding that video I tried another strategy to avoid the incoming of the flame: I started the game by killing me twice

With fewer lives the flame appears later but the problem with that strategy is that I don't have enough lives for the 90's
So now my strategy for NM is to increase my number of lives and pray for getting umbrellas, cards, ... in the 90's
But i am pretty sure something affects the behaviour of

I remember old times when I was trying to get my first

there were games where

were a bit quiet. Maybe related to the number of lives. With 3 or 4 lives they are quiet but again... hard to get through the 90's with so little lives.
I just hope it's not random at start of the game: sorry dude but

will be enraged for the whole game !
