Coconut Beach, Devil's Canyon, Alps, Old Capital, Death Valley. This actually seemed a little less technical than the A course (and was clearly shorter). Other than the turns generally getting more unforgiving as you go, there doesn't seem to be any pattern as to the layout of the stages. (If any of you have any insight here, feel free to enlighten me!) On a different note, _listening_ to this run reminded me of the ambivalence I've always had about Magical Sound Shower. Of the three tracks, I chose this the most... something about the energy, rhythm, and peppiness that just grabbed me, and it's just plain fun! It's my firm conviction that it's by far the best track in this game... FOR THREE AND HALF MINUTES. Not coincidentally, given that the vast majority of players didn't last two and a half minutes, this wasn't a detriment. Past that point, the sheer numbing repetitiveness becomes unavoidable. (If you're using a time cheat, you also get the privilege of hearing the track reach its natural endpoint and _repeat the final stanza over and over and over..._ there's a taste of this at 4:52 here... whereupon you'd dang well better get to the finish line pronto before you lose your mind.) It's kind of like making a full length song out of Beloved Tomboyish Daughter. Unless the songwriter is going to put in a lot of original material or set a very slow tempo (which I've never seen anyone do), it's going to be a thin gruel.
