: I agree with your assessment Mark.
I also agree with Mark. My one concern, and it's not a biggie, is that the initial two switches that one reaches only by teleportation may be confusing to the novice. Other than that, I think that NtbtN is just about perfect as a Marathon level. One of Ian's best.
I'm curious, were the water cannons on this level a first?
: On another note, I would like everyone's opinion about something. I have

: However, I neglected to mention that the Turtles are also immune to the

: Assuming that is the case, my inclination is to leave the Mercury immunity

I agree - no one's going to fist the turtles, with perhaps one exception ;^)
We don't, however, want to make it too easy and removing the immunity to mercury would change the nature of the game. Besides which, Ian gave a very good explanation as to the immunity to the mercury - it's all that thick armor.
