I can consistently get to the fifth stage without much trouble, but then I lose all of my lives in like 30 seconds.
**UPDATE**
Starting to get a little better at this game. I can get past the fifth stage now and I'm getting the hang of the controls a lot better than I was before. Got real lucky on this playthrough and made it to the second purple stage and probably could've done better if it wasn't for those dumb rubber bands.
**UPDATE 2**
Did even better this time around and got to the second orange stage. Again, I probably could've done even better and gotten to the second bonus stage if it wasn't for those dumb rubber bands.

As long as the PAL and NTSC versions are the same, then that should be no problem. However, if the PAL version is slower than the NTSC version, then I'm going to have to say no to the PAL version. It could potentially create an unfair speed advantage for those using the NTSC version.

Here's my first try 158,430, used a rom+fce+usb controller since my cart is in storage, all default settings no savestates. I made a movie too if anyone wants to see it, it's attached and compressed with 7Zip.
Back in the days when this 1st came out, I used to have every stage memorized, and could get each bar flipped sequentially without a mistake. I forgot how hard it gets after the point where if you turn over a gold bar and you go back over it again it flips over, and then you have to redo it one more time for it to count. This starts to happen after you have looped all the stages 4-5 times
