Ya know what I do when I get the the fireball/poison swamp key trap? I
cheat.. I get a friend to stand at the line trigger and I pass over it
springing the poison walls then I have him trigger it to lower it
again and then I run through grab the key which triggers the fireballs
which he untriggers and then I run along the right side so as not to
trigger anything and then I'm out and we trade places! Pretty cool
huh. Also in the clock stage use the traps or a friend to make ya a
piggy and run back outside under the wall by the river to the
teleporter. You won't need to worry about gears or anything.
Effectively skipping the stage..
