Stumbling together through Snake, Rattle 'n' Roll - Part 3

[davidn]

Twenty minutes... for two levels, if you can believe it. kjorteo and I struggle together through the final stages of this alleged game, this artefact of pain distilled into the form of a cartridge. In it, we climb the last ice mountain stage (being more successful at going downwards), and then fight against one of the most ridiculously unfair bosses ever created by man or beast. Wish us luck... not with the game, because we've already done that - just with the recovery.

As an addendum, shockingly, Terotrous on the GameFAQs boards posted an entirely legitimate run of it - he gets through the game impressively unscathed until the geyser/waterfall section, and then is absolutely destroyed by the six tiles of right-sloping ice at the top of level 10, which claim two continues on their own. Nintendo games just... did not like to be beaten.

yeah. . some of those jumps were down two, and to the left one. It's just that you had to jump while running down an icy slope, making sure to jump while high enough to actually reach the next ledge. . which also sloped down, so you had to instantly jump again to actually progress. While on ice.
