Problem is, what happens when you fail the first attempt?  Is there anywhere
on that level to collect magic stones?  I'm now stuck trying to pass the two 
leopards with 3 magic stones and a ton of stones. On my first attempt I was 
SOOOooo close to finishing them off.  I killed one with the magic stones while 
standing on the small ledge, and the other killed me while I accidentally tried 
to finish it off with normal stones rather than my boomerangs (I ran out of 
magic stones).  Now it seems that the level is impossible to finish.  I really 
do NOT want to have to do the mines again...
