You ever just lay awake at night, wondering if you can chain Mega Ball-jumps to get through Tenguman's stage without using the floaty bubble thing?

... no?

Well, I gave it a shot, and it turns out you actually can!

You may have to hit one of the floaty spike balls to allow for an angle that will actually let you reach the gate at the top of the screen, but it's totally doable. There IS one caveat though:

If Rock doesn't jump past the gate at the top of the screen, he'll die when the screen scrolls upward, as if he fell into a bottomless pit.

However, if you manage to get high enough that Rock is at least onscreen after the screen finishes scrolling, you'll still respawn above the gate!

It's a goofy trick that requires a decent amount of effort, but it's interesting to see that it's possible!

For what it's worth, the only parts I had active were the following:
-Energy Balancer
-Energy Saver
-Super Recover
-Exit Unit

So it should be possible to do this from the start of the game as well.
