This is vandalism

[@gryotharian]

Vandalism implies some sort of harm done to the original. This is a cheap knockoff, not vandalism.

My uncle said when he first played this level he was so annoyed because he couldn’t seem to win. The creature kept on killing him no matter what. But then he realized that the more he punched the glass wall the more damage it would take. And that your progress on the wall would be saved even if you died and had to restart. It took him a while but eventually he broke the wall and won the level

Doctor: *Presses Start* *appears coughing inside teleporter* *steps out as teleporter shuts down* *grabs a handful of sand* If you think because she's dead I'm weak you understand very little. If you were any part of killing her and you're not afraid then you understand nothing at all.

In this episode, the main character (The Doctor) arrives at a strange castle via a teleporter. He has just seen one of his best friends ever die, and there was nothing he could do to save her (it was a trap intended for him, she intervened and was killed). So obviously he’s very angry. As he wanders through the lonely castle, he finds himself chased by a strange monster that he realizes is tailored to traumatize him, and that when it corners him It will release him if he confesses a secret. He realizes that the entire arena is trying to get him to confess a dark secret he came across. As he refuses, he realizes a few odd things. First, the stars are in the wrong places, and as he’s a time traveler and can sense time travel he’s wondering how he’s now 6,000 years in the future. Second, all the rooms reset after he leaves them. Eventually he finds the castle’s exit, but it’s blocked by twenty feet of a crystal harder than diamond…and he realizes the awful truth. He’s been stuck in the castle for six thousand years, because he won’t give up the secret. Now he recognizes the significance of the cryptic message, “bird”, that he had seen earlier. And with that, he starts punching the diamond wall. This does nothing but break his hand as the monster closes in on him for the last time, and The Doctor starts reciting a story he learned from The Brothers Grimm (“Lovely chaps…They’re on my darts team…”). The monster grabs The Doctor, who is now obviously mortally wounded. The teleporter was the key. He slowly climbs back up to the teleporter and reactivates it, since it has now reset and is now in its original state…having just “received” the Doctor’s teleportation transmission from the beginning of the episode. That’s when this music starts, as you watch the Doctor reappear, suffer, punch the diamond wall, and die, again and again. Seven thousand years… A million years… Five hundred million years… A billion years… Two billion years… And with the triumphal swell of the music, he finally breaks through the wall. This episode was special for me at the time because it embodied the essence of a man who has lost everything, who wants to give up, but refuses to give up. The story he recites is as follows: An Emperor asks the shepherd’s boy, “How many seconds are there in an eternity?” And the Shepherd’s Boy says, “There’s this mountain of pure diamond. It takes an hour to climb it, and it takes an hour to go around it. Every one hundred years, a bird comes and sharpens its break on the diamond mountain. And when the entire mountain is chiseled away, the first second of eternity will have passed!” You might think that’s a hell of a long time. Personally, I think that’s one hell of a bird.

[@bytescientistreal]

Timed button mash section at the last level where the doctor gives his best shot at the wall.

[@MURDERPILLOW.]

It took me so many tries to break the wall

[@longanddeadly]

[@XR171]

Someone commented that the SNES Doomsday theme sounds like the last level of a Doctor Who game. To me then this would be its ending. As SNES platformers tended to take some liberties with plot I see it as this. A screen of the doctor crawling back to the teleporter. He fully realizes he's stuck in a loop and that he must confess or fight. For now he can fight no more and hope that he chooses to fight again. He hooks himself up hoping the next time is the last time. THE END Then the game starts over again.

There was once on a time a shepherd boy whose fame spread far and wide because of the wise answers which he gave to every question. The King of the country heard of it likewise, but did not believe it, and sent for the boy. Then he said to him: "If thou canst give me an answer to three questions which I will ask thee, I will look on thee as my own child, and thou shall dwell with me in my royal palace." The boy said: "What are the three questions?" The King said: "The first is, how many drops of water are there in the ocean?" The shepherd boy answered: "Lord King, if you will have all the rivers on earth dammed up so that not a single drop runs from them into the sea until I have counted it, I will tell you how many drops there are in the sea." The King said: "The next question is, how many stars are there in the sky?" The shepherd boy said: "Give me a great sheet of white paper," and then he made so many fine points on it with a pen that they could scarcely be seen, and it was all but impossible to count them; any one who looked at them would have lost his sight. Then he said: "There are as many stars in the sky as there are points on the paper; just count them." But no one was able to do it. The King said: "The third question is, how many seconds of time are there in eternity." Then said the shepherd boy: "In Lower Pomerania is the Diamond Mountain, which is two miles and a half high, two miles and a half wide, and two miles and a half in depth; every hundred years a little bird comes and sharpens its beak on it, and when the whole mountain is worn away by this, then the first second of eternity will be over." The King said: "Thou hast answered the three questions like a wise man, and shalt henceforth dwell with me in my royal palace, and I will regard thee as my own child." - “The Shepherd Boy”, by the Brothers Grimm

[@befuddledpuddle]

This is super awesome!! However i do have one teeny criticism Right at 3:47 it's a tad bit off I think you have it go like G B C D# E C When it should be more like G B C D D# C Nitpicky I know, but I wanted to point it out anyway, if it helps! I think everything else is beautifully done, amazing work.

In the horn section, yeah? I noticed that on more recent listens. Shame but it's a bit late to update it now, I was doing it mostly by ear so there's bound to be a couple things a little off.
