Please note that savestates were used during this, but only in places where the game gives you a checkpoint anyway.

A stage often touted with having high-quality visuals, but they don't really work on me. The issue is that this is a fully 2D plane, so having pseudo-3D graphics makes it look more like a triangular platform than anything else.
Enough about the visuals though, the stage itself is pretty cool. The main gimmick is the oil drums which shoot bombs out of them, making you time your movement around them. The issue comes when you're forced to do platforming on top of them, as the bombs can spawn beneath your feet, forcing you to either time your jumps extremely well or just Star Crash past it like me. I gotta say though, there is a ladder climbing part later with ladders which I really loved, it's such a shame that it lasts for such a short time. As for the enemies, I noticed the stage using a lot of tank enemies with giant HP bars, and not all of them are on the ground so you can't just use Water Wave on all of them. Luckily, Napalm Man himself is nowhere near this much of a nuisance, since his bomb attack is basically no more threatening that usual, and the missile attack is a lot more interesting since you have to put more effort into timing your jumps, which I really like.

And that's all 8 of the original bosses down, you know what that means, time to go punch Dark Man's lights out.
