Since the latest patch, this checkpoint in world 2, zone 2 (see screenshot) consistently spawns the player directly in the deadly spikes. This now makes it nearly impossible to complete zone 2 of world 2 in Tribulation Mode. If by some stroke of luck you manage to dodge backwards, you also end up in the spikes. If you dodge forward, you end up in the hidden spikes. If you jump forward, you also end up in those spikes. But if you manage to get in a half jump, you might just make it out. But this is obviously not intended.
To make matters worse, the next checkpoint cloud is also bugged! You can activate it, but you’ll still respawn back at the bugged checkpoint.
Until this is fixed, I highly recommend people to avoid world 2, zone 2 in Tribulation Mode. It’s right near the end of zone 2, and will undo all your hard work up to that point. It cost me thousands of lives, making the infinite continue coin a requirement (if it wasn’t already).
