on the areas where you have to choose a pillar to get the pirates and advance on in the stage there is a way to bypass the wrong selections forfits
you have to be a sieg and be rb
you position yourself so that you have a pillar between you and the center of the room
then you use rb dfsit and it hits the pillar and the center and no skill comes out :O repeat as needed
that should save you like 2 lives xD
i'll post some Screen shots later
