Made it to 7-8 without dieing, died a few times on the boss.
then had some trouble on level 8, made it to 8-5 before hitting my first continue.
..now to see if i can take it down with the supplied continues
edit: nope made it to 8.7 ..those damn gold coins kept getting me as I was starting out a stage.
serenity now
