I can't remember how I did it last time.

My health is on 2 steps from death, but it's so bloody hard to kill that worm before you get to the traion and wake up in the 2nd part of the game.

I can just about switch both switches on, but that fucking worm keeps killing me before I get out.

Little help?

find your system then click on the faq, hope it helps

That worm can really be a bitch if you're playing with a damn Wii controller for the first time.

Those little alcoves where the switches are are designed in such a way that it's very difficult to turn and run after switching them.

Grrr.

Oh those tricky Capcom types!
