What a crazy experience this was. I picked this up in January due to an agreement between myself and npesta where we each gave the other a Main List level to beat. I gave him Keres (still in the 70s at the time) and he gave me this. I thought I would be able to knock this out in 2-3 weeks, but I didn't know the true mental struggles that I would endure. I had to drop this level for the sake of my mental stability three times. I only picked it up again recently because I wanted to see if I could get it past me before the release of Mario Kart World, which will surely take up a lot of my time once that happens. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I was able to clutch it out after just 3 days back to the level.

The reason why this level felt like such a mental barrier was because of the balancing. It could be much worse, but playing from the beginning was REALLY bad for my mentality because of how easy and consistent it is compared to the rest of the level. It felt like such a drag every session because I would get to the 28% wave nearly every attempt and even past that on most attempts. Thankfully, that cube part and the ship after it aren't bad by any means. I genuinely hated that 28% wave, though. I just highly dislike wave parts that are built in this way and I don't really know why. They just feel really inconsistent to me. That might be a skill issue, though. The 37-54% section is mostly fine, just a little difficult to stay consistent at which made it pretty easy to die at if I wasn't paying much attention. After that, the spider is really fun, but it is by far the hardest part of the level. To put it into perspective, I had 32 attempts at the spider. Only 4 of those made it past. A lot of this was due to the dual spider being VERY inconsistent and borderline nonfunctional. I've heard a lot of that is 2.2's fault, but it's still worth mentioning because it genuinely drove me crazy. Everything after the spider is very fun and mostly consistent, especially the 76% dual, which is really creative and seriously shocking that it works at all for something made in 2.1.

I am so glad to finally have this behind me after having it hang over me for over 4 months. I'm not sure where I'll go next, but hopefully it doesn't serve me as ridiculous of a mental challenge as this did.
