I did that level with my sister. You had to memorize the pattern after each death. Never did beat the game. By the time you going down the shaft we used up most of our lives.Had to put Battletoads on easy since I'm playing with my son who is 6. I'll go back on normal so that I can use all 3 toads myself and balance out their health to finish the game. I love that strategy part of it. Turbobike level was fun and not as awful as the original. Had to go on youtube and show the boy how hard that level was back then. Enjoying it though.
