same, everytime i would rent this game at the store, i would convince myself that it wasnt so bad....and then die all weekend in the monkey sections to ultimately return the game and feel like i wasted my whole weekend for nothing lol...good times! And just to add salt to the wound, there were some previews of the gameplay at the beginning if you don't touch the controller for a while, and you would see that you can grow old and attack, so of course as a kid u wanted to reach that point but nope! It was just mpossible.

second level was tricky. The ostrich part I gave me the most trouble. The monkey part was just a bit of trial and error to work out which ones you needed to trigger

I had way more difficulty with Toy Story for the SNES than this. Don't get me wrong this game is ballbustingly difficult, but I can still pick it up after a few years and casually beat it.

[@benjamincrew1949]

@@Telcontar86 Toy Story is more about patience. If you take your time, most levels aren't too hard. The ones that will really destroy you are the RC and auto scrolling ones.

[@Telcontar86]

@@benjamincrew1949 I agree, although I'd add determination to that patience. The only reason I eventually beat it was because I sat down and said to myself that no other 2D platformer has beaten me long term but this so I'm beating it now LOL. The escape from Sids room level is practically satanic. It makes Roar at the Monkey's ostrich challenges look like a cakewalk.

[@benjamincrew1949]

@@Telcontar86 Yes, I actually just commented not too long ago that escaping from Scud is absolutely the most difficult section in the game. It's all memorization because there's no way to react in time to the things coming at you.
