Nintendo had a Hotline.. I called them once because I got stuck in donkey kong country. (The guy was like ‘at the first ledge just drop straight, there’s a hidden cannon that lets you skip the level’)

That's frustrating. How were you meant to find that?

Sure, but it sounds like every player would need to fall in the same hole or they couldn't progress.

I'm sure they managed, but that's not a great design.

I think that was a shortcut. Not the only way to beat the level.
