Hoo boy...THIS level...

I hate this level with a flaming passion, like I REALLY do. It's not so difficult when you're just trying to get to the end of the level, but when you're trying to get 100% on this level - meaning getting all the fruit and Pac-Dots (as well as the Galaxian) - this level is an absolute nightmare.

Basically, the gimmick of this level is that for the first and last part of the level, you have to outrun a giant avalanche, Indiana Jones style. Sounds fine and all, but trying to get 100% means you're often putting yourself just INCHES away from death. The parts without the avalanche aren't so bad.

But, what pushes this level into nightmare territory is the final area, particularly the part between the second-to-last checkpoint and last checkpoint. I lost at least THIRTY lives in that section alone, no joke, and the only reason it doesn't look like that is because there's an Extra Life at the beginning of that section, which essentially prevented me from getting a Game Over. It wasn't until I figured out that using the Control Stick makes Pac-Man move SLIGHTLY faster than using the D-Pad did I finally manage to get through that part and collect everything I needed to without dying. He may move only slightly faster with the Control Stick, but it still made a huge difference between the distance between me and the avalanche in the end.

Oh, and as a side note, the PS2 version (the version I'm playing) has this stupid bug where if you die on the last section (between the last checkpoint and the end goal), when you respawn you'll end up with one less Pac-Dot than you came in with, preventing you from completing the level 100%. Thankfully (and mercifully), I managed to get through the last section without dying...
