Screw the entire stage after that. SCREW THE ENTIRE STAGE AFTER THAT, TOO.

This is really the last part of the game where you can even pretend to feel like a bad-ass from start to finish. After this, any sane player essentially turns into Sam Rockwell’s character from Galaxy Quest.

I never realized that the architecture was made in that way. Thanks about that.

I love the tune too, though I never understood where the names come from. Is the wicked child a hunchback, a raven or a skeleton?

In the X68000 game, the third block doesn’t have a near direct level analogue (NES Blocks 1 & 5) or a few similar areas (NES Blocks 2 & 6), but its has a pretty awesome remix of Wicked Child for its own third block.
