I managed to beat the game..but I forced myself to use save states simply at the last world.

Basically I found a bug that in level 5-3, just before you face the boss, there is this room with three crosses that have statues that just love to smash you.

That's not really the problem I have but the main one is this section where you have to jump over this falling platform. Thing is, if you try to jump over it, it for some reason just causes a bug and you instantly get killed. I didn't even touch it but just trying to jump over it kills you instantly and I don't know why.

So the only way I have found out is that you have to let yourself get hit by those statues so that the knockback works in your favor. This part is so stupid and easily got me very frustrated..especially when you have to move those stones to create platforms to reach to certain areas..which is very time consuming.

My question is, is this really a bug?

No other levels apart from this are obnoxious but this one. Damn..oh well its still an awesome game and its now my favourite MSX game!

I remember that TMR also ran into this problem when he played it in his Retro Game Gauntlet 2... but in the end he managed to get past it.

It is also one of my favourite platform games. I love to be able to change powers and to recover energy using coins. Although the last times I've played, I used the F1-Spirit trick.

Is that a patched one that fixes the bug? He looked like he was able to jump over that platform just fine..

I think the timing is just very critical...
