Cook of the Sea
When you need health in the MB fight, like on a Low Percent run or whatever, you hang off the right side of the right block and shoot the donuts of death, any fo' knows that. However, you don't have to jump up to grab any powerups that they drop. You can instead wait until the cheerio sprite is superimposed over the Arm Cannon sprite and then shoot them. You'll instantly pick up any powerups, so you won't have to risk d34th by jumping up and possibly into MB's eye blast.
I'm gonna guess that Low Percent runners are hardcore enough that low health isn't an issue, but this does present a safe way to get it if you need it.
What I'm mostly interested to know is whether or not this had already been discovered. I tipped off one of the 15% FAQers on GameFAQs when I e-mailed him some title ASCII for his FAQ about this a very long time ago, so if you saw it in stormeagle6's FAQ first, that was me.
