      I never really understood all the rage over the water level. I could get through it when I was a kid and I didn’t even own the game, I would just play it at my friends house. Once you have the layout memorized it’s pretty easy to get through, maybe swapping turtles a couple times to spread out the damage.

        If you could only play it when you rented the game, it was more difficult to memorize. Unfortunately none of my friends owned it, I rented it semi often but can probably only passed the level under 10times. Even thinking back I can remember the exhilaration of passing it. Course I kinda suck at games and after dying at the level would find something else to do rather than keep playing. This is someone who loved the turtles back then too, only reason I’d keep renting it.

        The level in the sewer with that 2 block jump and a short ceiling that kills your turtle if you fall in the water is way more diabolical.

            No that’s a one gap pit that drops you back in the lower half of one of the sewers in the first area of the game. But yeah that one is rough too before you realize you can use walk over it

        After the water level, disarming the bombs while driving around the van with a timer going is what always got me. Could never get past that.
