Probably the hardest level in the game. It's a side scrolling level, where you have to climb the castle facade using moving platforms, disappearing ladders, and even some vultures. You'll also need to avoid spikes and hands trying to grab you, as well as defeating scientists who throw explosive vials at you. What makes this level so difficult is the lack of C boxes: there is in fact only one, exactly in the middle. However, if you manage to pass this level without losing lives, you will be awarded the red gem.

Probably the hardest level in the game. It's a side scrolling level, where you have to climb the castle facade using moving platforms, disappearing ladders, and even some vultures. You'll also need to avoid spikes and hands trying to grab you, as well as defeating scientists who throw explosive vials at you. Timing is essential to pass this level. There is a Nitrus Brio bonus round in this level, where you can gain some extra lives and save your game (but very hard to complete). What makes this level so difficult is the lack of C boxes: there is in fact only one, exactly in the middle. However, if you manage to pass this level without losing lives, you will be awarded the red gem.

One curiosity: this level looks one of a kind, but in the original version of the game, it also had a more difficult twin: Stormy Ascent. It was the last level before the final fight and was later canceled due to its excessive difficulty.
