These sections took around 1 hour and 1 minute to complete. The game gived the illusion of limited continues but you start at the last checkpoint you got to (halfway point of each stage), and you aslong as you collect treasure bags as you play you probably will never run out of continues. Atleast on the SNES version I never did, and I went through both times. In Arrange Mode you only have to beat the game once through.
Deaths edited out at checkpoints.
Great version of the SNES game which adds new levels. The path you take is determined by which armor you finish with. Silver and Bronze Armor is the middle path I believe, Gold is the top path and naked is the bottom.
I beat the SNES one many years ago so I am re learning. Not sure if I beat any of the new stages yet.
