*There's not much to see in this level. Swim on the bottom of the stage at the beginning of the level to avoid the first Squidge. From there, just make sure you navigate corners tightly to avoid wasting time. You'll likely learn the stage just by playing through it during full-game runs. Practicing it is a bit arduous.
