Its odd how they made that power up just be there out of the way and not really necessary to advance in any way… There´s no place the spring ball will take you the spider ball can´t.

A complete map of SR-388 makes the game look more complex than it actually is, but viewing the arrangement of things from a level editor makes you wonder if their heads were even screwed on straight.

What I’m saying is that the TAS that uses the secret world glitch is glorious and unfathomable: http://tasvideos.org/1175M.html
