where there was an enemy directly behind
3:29
where there was an enemy directly behind a plant, and no matter how many times I
3:30
a plant, and no matter how many times I
3:30
a plant, and no matter how many times I swung, I couldn't hit the plant or the
3:33
swung, I couldn't hit the plant or the
3:33
swung, I couldn't hit the plant or the enemy. After jumping over the plant, I

3:57
playing, this is a thing in all of them, and it sucks. But even if a lot of them
3:59
and it sucks. But even if a lot of them
4:00
and it sucks. But even if a lot of them fall into an area you can't reach, you
4:01
fall into an area you can't reach, you
