[All Stages and No UFO Shortcuts]

Ah... just like a lot of other games, there is almost always an ocean/ water-themed world. The placement of the bat above the tall ladders in 2 of the stages is just stupid; that thing can swoop down very fast and instantly kill you. Most often the only means to defeat it is to lure it ALL THE WAY DOWN and then strike it; thankfully it doesn't re-spawn off-screen. The propeller fish look really dumb and move incredibly slow, but their backs are sharp and can kill you on contact, even when rolled up, so make sure you time your attacks correctly because they always patrol back and forth a set area.

The yellow liquid/ pond or whatever it is at the beginning of the first stage... I have no clue what the hell it is suppose to be. What I do know is that it adds additional weight to Billy the Shell's bounces.

The first major boss compared to previous ones and also the first actual appearance of the big boss himself. Not as intimidating as Bowser, but I suppose I shouldn't expect much from the leader of the "Black Bean Gang". Interestingly enough he breaks the fourth wall by referring himself as the "game's bad guy," but Bowser has been known to do the same as well sometimes. One thing to keep in mind is that A LOT of the flooring is destructible, so after you roll up and attack, you must immediately un-roll before hitting the ground, otherwise fighting this boss will be a nightmare. If you successfully land behind the boss, like I did, you can easy wipe him out in seconds, just don't get carried away otherwise, you might lose your advantage.
