4-B "The Mole Train"
Wait until the tracks curves downwards, you can then do a rolling jump to reach the train, however it's risky if your alone. The goal here is to jump on the Moles as they appear out of the carts, then 4 of the 5 carts will break away, so be sure your on a cart that doesn't break away. Repeat this 3 times and then you'll face the Big Mole, which comes out of the carts at random, it takes only 4 jumps to bring down the Big Mole.
----------
I don't like this area, you have 3 Mine Cart Stages and 2 Rocket Barrel Stages here, and we all know what happens in those, right?

The death in 4-3 was due to a failure jump, I pressed the 2 Button but I did not jump, and thus I fall to my death. Perhaps my 2 Button is worn out?

4-5 and 4-K are possibly the ONLY 2 levels I have trouble with, as even though in 4-5 I got the pattern down for the Giant Bat launching Sonicbooms at you, and a Hyper Beam near the end, I still end up getting killed just trying to get that last Puzzle Piece and the Letter G, not to mention you NEED to be above the Hyper Beam otherwise you will die.

In 4-K I didn't want to risk losing Diddy because I always seem to die while trying to get 1 Puzzle Piece here, I think it was the one above the Spike, so I used a Heart Boost to lower the chances, however I only got hit once, so I pretty much wasted it.

The Boss here seems to give you a lot of Hearts, however I lost Diddy thanks to my Sister yelling and me and throwing off my focus, thankfully I still got through regardless of the damage I took.

*Total Deaths: 9
*Total Item use: 8
Squawks: 7
Heart Boost: 1

And one more thing... off-topic really. I read about you having an issue uploading over 15 minutes... well I'm sorta having the same issue. I just made this account on February 3rd, and my ability to upload longer than 15 minutes is not present... I don't know if it's because the account is new or not. Do you know anything?

@octaneflame

My 15 Minute Issue was resolved already, as I saw the message when I was about to upload a video.

I personally have no idea how it works, really. I think might have to do with how old your account is?

TWO deaths on Crowded Cavern? There's no way that was blind.

[Sonic8000]

@octaneflame

Everytime I play that level I always seem to die once or twice.

[octaneflame]

@Sonic8000 Yeah maybe. Thanks.

[octaneflame]

@Sonic8000 I'm not complaining, that's an extremely difficult level. My first playthrough of that level, I went from 99 lives to 25, my second time I went from 99 to 71. You're pretty good, dying only once or twice...
