Arkista's Ring -- I'd gotten to level 123 of the 125 level game (124 really, the final "level" has no enemies or anything), but level 123 is insanely hard, so I'd always drained all of my lives and continues there. Well, this time I got incredibly lucky. The level has lots of ninjas attacking you, and the exit is a randomly selected door from the many in the stage. Well, I decided to just run to the nearest one and hope that that was it... it'd been that one in the third loop (you play through all 31 stages four times before the game ends, and it gets a bit harder each time). It was. The ninjas are so hard that I actually died just as I touched the exit, already out of health... but it counted anyway, and I went to the next stage and then died and restarted there. So awesome...
Anyway, the boss is a lot easier than the enemies in the level before, so I then beat the game, having only used three continues, all in loop three. Pretty good work really. :)
