Is there a more infuriating level in any game?

>> No.6008374

What's so bad about it? In that very screenshot the guy has gotten the hidden easymode 90 second air supply making the level a cinch.

I unironically like that level. Once you get used to how the momentum works it's so much fun.

Unlikely. Fuck that level.

>> No.6008470

sega's policy of putting a huge difficulty spike so that renters couldn't beat the games just meant that you'd get frustrated with the game before you had to return it and didn't want to buy it. my family never bought EWJ

meanwhile we did buy SoR2, which is notoriously easy on the lower few difficulties

There is an air pocket halfway through that resets your air supply you goobers

EWJ isn't a Sega game.

It was made for Sega first.

Only in Europe did it come out on Genesis first and Shiny wasn't a first party Sega developer. EWJ's design has nothing to do with Sega. The closest you could say is that the style of the game appealed more to Sega fans than Nintendo.

>> No.6008898

>>6008884
You're right, but for trivia's sake it did have an extra level made for Genesis. I think the story goes that Sega requested an exclusive level at the last minute, so they quickly added Intestinal Distress.

>> No.6009109

>>6008238
You guys know the devs INTENDED for the player to find the secret refueling station right? That's how you "solve" that level, not by practicing it over and over

>> No.6009115

You can also say that its better on Sega

Flying King is absolutely the worst level in ew2. It's pure torture. Ruined my Christmas as a child. Here's my choice, the mine cart sections of Young Merlin for the snes. Absolute shit, in an already poor game.

My fucking sister picked to side with the bad guy on SOR2 and sent us back 2 stages when I was younger, I was upset but we ended up not beating it as a result

>> No.6009289

>>6009109
They probably intended you to find it first so you could make it through the level and then as you got better wouldn't needto bother with it anymore. That's how it was for me anyways.

The story I heard goes that Jim was indeed made for Sega first, then Nintendo got a SNES port which had to cut Intestinal Distress and several sound/animations just to make it fit.

The only bad part of Flying King is that it's boring. It's only challenging if you try to bum rush it without taking out the enemies first, after that it's just awkwardly moving the balloon to the boss and shooting.
