THIS is Battletoads! Level 6 - Karnath's Lair

A single segment, no warps, no cheats, no states, no slowdown and NO CHEESINESS run! The question has been asked many times - Is this Battletoads? If you can't tell by now, SHAME ON YOU. SHAAAME.

LEVEL 6 - KARNATH'S LAIR
DIFFICULTY - 7/10
MAJOR THREATS - Anything but complete memorization of every single snake is going to get you killed. Even then, three particular jumps between spikes are extremely unforgiving and requires PERFECT timing.
DEATHS - Uhh... 3-ish.

The snake level is... Well, evil. But it is still one of my favorite levels. Seriously, this level above all others is gameplay innovation - Just watch the incredible level design and how every single snake is characterized with a particular color and danger. My favorite is the blue one in the first area.

Finally things start to get a bit hard. Although it's mostly just trial and error, there are three jumps in particular in this level that are really difficult, probably the hardest thing in the game so far. On the first one you have to run, time the jump and make sure NOT to jump too high or you'll hit the spikes, all while on a moving platform. The second one is the same, but with a faster moving platform. The third is also the same, but with a faster moving platform, and you have to LAND correctly instead of jump through them which is a NIGHTMARE. See my fury as I get past that area and die on a simple spike right before the end! Argh! FURY!

Oh, and you fall through the snakes' heads, so unless you land on the body you die. What I could never figure out is if the snakes are with you or against you - True, snakes eat toads in real life and the Dark Queen is sure that they'll kill you, but how would you be able to traverse this level without them? And how come they don't eat you? Karnath is MY ally!

You'd better enjoy this!

That jump at 1:52 kills me ALL the time.
