So... I think I've mentioned before that the Boots of Leaping can be pretty useful for Monk... but I don't think I've uploaded a video showing this before.
Now I have. ^_^
I did acquire the boots around halfway through the game (3-3), and only really used them twice... but they were definitely useful for those two occasions. =) I used Leaping once to get into and out of a walled shop without using 2 bombs... and once because a cursed wraith appeared out of nowhere and blocked my escape plan, and Monk got surrounded by gold on 4 sides, instead of just 3. ^^;
Overall, I think I like the Winged Boots better... but the Boots of Leaping definitely can be useful for Monk. =) Anyway, here's the video... hope you enjoy!
The mini-bosses and bosses I encountered during this run were:
Zone 1: Direbat, Gray Minotaur, Red Dragon, & Fortissimole 1.
Zone 2: Gray Minotaur, Gray Direbat, Gray Minotaur, & Coral Riff 2.
Zone 3: Gray Minotaur, Blue Dragon, Green Banshee, & Deep Blues 3.
Zone 4: The Mommy, Blood Nightmare, Blue Dragon, & King Conga 4.
Zone 5: Earth Dragon, Green Metrognome, Gray Minotaur, & Death Metal 5.

3:45 Ack, wraith! ...that could've been bad, if it'd appeared one beat sooner. ^^; Oh, I can take advantage of the gold it dropped!
4:01 Leprechaun & Lucky Charm!
4:48 Hmm, thinking about using the blood shovel to get the box to the trapdoor... but decide, at only 2 hearts, it might be safer to keep the health. ^^
5:05 Obsidian Torch!
5:21 1-3
