What if this stage instead had the sparks chasing Junior around a grid of climbable poles? Give Junior an enemy that’s as adept as he is at climbing, or at least as adept in the place where he climbs.

You go from the creative designs of the first two stages right into a stage which is more or less just walking in straight lines and jumping over sparks. I appreciate variety in level design, but this one is just kind of boring because it highlights the weaknesses of Jr’s gameplay instead of playing to its strengths.
