In case this wasn't clear, what I meant was that 9 was "speedrun and skill friendly" using the regular buster.
Anyone can rush through Plug Man stage using the Jewel Satellite, but if you learn it you can rush through pretty much just as fast using the buster.

About the insta deaths, I never understood why people complained about them. I feel like 9 has the right ammount and they're part of what makes the game feel awesome. There is something about running through traps and pits with the perfect timing and perfect jumps and coming out un-scathed.

And those traps too are speedrun friendly. Pic related is the best example, as anyone would stop and wait to make both jumps, except that if you rush through as you come in the room and never stop you can make it through just in time for both jumps.
