29 — Intrepid Cats

Five stages, one infamous: Darkweb, a wall of Wave Attackers and melee pushers that sorts rosters into 'has wave counters' and 'suffering'.

The only five-stage main sub-chapter in Legend Stages, and most of it is hard. Darkweb is the famous one — Dark enemies, wave attackers, and Two Can stacked into a push that trivializes itself if you have Kotatsu Cat's True Form (a wave shield) or wave-immune attackers, and becomes genuinely miserable if you don't. Thorny Dialogue is the other spike: a timed stage that wants high levels or Major Leaguer Cat.

Two debuts: Tackey, a Dark Long Distance attacker whose crushing area hits land ahead of him with a large blind spot — get under him or get deleted — and Mr. Angel, a Trolly Blogger pattern rebuilt in Angel with double the speed, much higher stats, and a weaken instead of knockback. (The Japanese name riffs on Dragon Quest IV's 'The People Who Are Shown the Way'.)
