Okay, okay. I guess it doesn't hurt to ask for help.
I can get up the spikes, it seems like I have to sacrifice a (large) hit to get over to the right that apparently is a dead-end (blocked by a grapple block on a pipe).
Or I get across the crumbling mockball bridge. That's a dead-end too.
Or to where those Crumble/Grapple blocks are with Super Missle blocks.
I've got the morph ball and one missle pack (used to open a door) up to this point.
The reason I hate to ask is because it seems so early. So I just can't help but to feel stupid. :|
