      autopilot, autopilot drop, autopilot jump. Note that about 5% of the time, B leans backwards after landing from the jump, and he might fall and get zapped.
      'jump the shark' is a phrase used in television - and to a lesser extent, in movie franchises - when the writers have run out of ideas, ratings are dropping, so they throw in something absurd or dumb in order to grab viewers.
      The phrase originated in 1977, because of the TV show "Happy Days"... there was an episode where Fonzie literally jumped over a shark on water skis. Very ridiculous. Cliffhangers at the end of a season are also desperation - if the show is good, viewers will tune in for the next season in order to continue watching... it's desperate if you feel they need to tune in just to see if somebody dies.

      Fun level - I don't like sliders that hold up balls as you can grab them by mistake when trying to turn the level and then one needs to restart. Overall - great level.

      @Meko Guy I needed some way for B to get from one section to the other, while making it a one-way trip so that it couldn't be used to skip part of the level... that's what I came up with. As for turning or tilting a level, I usually do it using the white space - I don't know if you can do that with MEmu.

      Added a video solution to the first Comment. Obviously pro players don't need it, but recently I've gotten a couple of requests for solution videos... a little freaky. New screen recording app (XRecorder), so why not...

      ...
      extreme autopilot jumps.

      did a shortcut,
      B jump directly to winblock area
      with redbrick as the mark,
      using strong bump
      with a slider at corner...

      For a yellow tin can, B is quite the athlete!
