YAY! I killed Mother Brain today (FINALLY) and Kraidgief a while ago also.
So I'm like "hells yah, im badass no one can mess with me!"
and then i got done escaping Mother Brain, and that stopped immediately...
something stopped me with the guns and the spikes and the slow elevators!

so, in the first area, where there is 2 guns and a slow elevator, how do i get past the bed of spikes awaiting me
Wow so amazingly, I JUST got past that part....
Standby for cries of help
