A Team P Balloon level, also precision crew.

My reaction when I saw this level was probably the same as most people's, not wanting to play this because there's a lot to memorize. That was until I rewatched the video and saw the description saying there were 5 practice levels for this, I didn't see that the first time because I watched the video from discord. Obviously recreating the level didn't seem like a reasonable option, because I would have had to guess the starting position for all the fire bars, so the practice levels were the next best thing. Once I took care of that, I was ready to play this.

I was able to remember the entire route after only doing each section once, I have a good memory. My muscle memory however didn't get enough time to develop, so doing them twice wouldn't have hurt. Regardless I kept trying because I was fairly consistent at getting past the halfway point of the level. Unfortunately I was less consistent at the second half, as it had more tight spots overall than the first half, most of the tight spots of the first half are at the beginning. I had to really cut the corners well enough without bonking if I wanted to make it through. I considered replaying the last 2 practice levels, but apparently all I needed was a small break, as I beat the level within minutes after said break, even if the reason for it was dumb and questionable. :p

I had one death on the last fire bar and the hardest part of the level for me was around 1:36. I don't know why, but I really struggled to get out of there after hitting the on/off switch. I usually don't like levels with fire bar "spam" but this one was pretty fun overall, I'm glad I played it. Much better than 1-1 with a twist. :p
