Don't rush - take your time!
And just in case: The place where you are supposed to use the "charged" jump the first time you can do it with a usual jump.

Don't know what your friend's got to do with it, but judging from the people I've heard speaking over time, future gets used very little. You always can get by with present (similar to chinese and japanese) if meaning in context is clear: Ich gehe nachher einkaufen - I'll go shopping later.
This structure is comparable to the going-to-future. It works for many sentences, but by far not for all. Ich gehe mir ein Auto kaufen - it's not incorrect, but usually you'd rather say Ich werde mir ein Auto kaufen.
And the subjunctiv - you're right. Actually, I just looked it up and type I and II are dying out. The third one remains because Germans love to use auxiliary verbs...
btw: The story about my friend was the only thing related to the topic because it shows that German seems to be quite hard to master.
Damn it, enough of German grammar now ;)

- One thing the teachers won't tell you is that spoken german only knows two times, present and perfect. The others are almost never used outside written german.
The only point I don't agree upon. We also use the future and the subjunctiv (the "first" type, the second type has died out (thank god)).
I know a girl here in Oswego. She is 21 years old and has been learning German for about 10 years now. Her major is German and she already spent a six months study abroad in Germany. I would rate her 6 out of 10.
Every time I read her essays I think "Thank god, that I don't have to learn this stupid language!".
At the moment, I'm wondering if I should refresh my French (which is really rusty) or learn something new. I'd be interested in Spanish or Italian I think.

I could watch it with the JU version although Baxter used a different rom.
Thanks for mentioning this game. At the moment, I'm playing this up and down :)

Well, I think Web Woods is one level to be a hell to optimize. Squitter is extremely complex and the level is going up and down quite a lot which doesn't really help...
I bet you will find faster ways in V9, but for now, I would go on for now. The lost world level looked good.
PS: I still think that Web Woods looks extremely cool and amazing!

It works fine with Snes9X v1.43+ v9 for Windows and crc32=006364DB
as the rom. Make sure you use V1.0.
Edit: Just tried it with V1.1 and it desynchs right at the place you described.

Damn, this kicked ass although I'm not so sure about the red bee field. But neither do I know how to improve it...
Edit: I just tested something in the second bonus level in Parachute Panic:
You can kill the last bee that is supposed to be killed by the TNT barrel by a shot/spit of squawks so you don't have to pick up the barrel.

I count 3 DK barrels you can take without losing any time. As you are not riding squitter, but transforming into him/her/it the screen won't freeze when touching the barrel.

I am now determined to A) finish the run with V8 and B) obsolete it with V9.
Don't get me wrong. I love your work (well, you should know that by now) and if you keep the quality I will definitely give my yes. But some people have problems to do the same if you already know how to obsolete your run...

Damn, why did I come here? Considering that this tiny village has the highest cops per inhabitant rate I have ever seen I think I should fly home before I will be convicted because of walking on the sidewalks while listening to my mp3-player...

Oh sorry, I thought about that it could be related to the fact you played Dixie and Sami Diddy. Maybe I should read more closely next time.
Have fun with the boss.
Btw: I'll be gone to NYC for the weekend. Just in case you are really fast in Kremland: Don't forget Cranky!
