Bizarrely, the first part of this level is identical to the final part of Screen H except for the addition of a puzzle piece, which doesn't make any difference to the speedrun route because I still reach the point of waiting for the spirit just before it emerges from the area to the right. It's nice that the speedrun route places these sections next to each other, so that the solution will be fresh in muscle memory. (Interestingly, George Foot's TAS places Screen D last, but still with the last part of H immediately before it.)

The second part has two sections where Repton has to run inside a small chamber with two spirits. Fortunately, collision detection is a lot nicer than it will be in Repton 3, so these sections aren't much trouble.

The third part is another copy of the first part, but Repton starts on the other side – a lovely idea for making a "twin" puzzle, but here, the only major difference is that the cage can no longer be linked to the left wall. In this video I am slightly inaccurate and don't release the spirit as early as possible. Ideally, I would be just behind it entering the far left area, and could drop the first rock down just behind the spirit, so the spirit would not lose time bouncing off it.
