    Brain's spike ball scenario that spews out 50+ items are impossible to dodge if you're on the right side, making this achievement fucking bullshit imo, but here's a strat anyway:

    I believe the only way to dodge the items and spike balls is by standing on the left side, but even then it's really hard. I suggest spamming pause, and jumping over the spike ball when he nears the left side, as he paces back and forth. 1 of them will land right where you are standing.

    The items themselves won't reach you in that corner, but getting hit with a spike ball will send you flying to the left, and that will spawn you on top of an item, thus ending the run.

    So, I also suggest running to the left corner, and tapping the d-pad right ever so slightly, so you are facing right. This will make it so you fly left when you die, but you will respawn in the center, so be quick to move back to the left, in the event that you do die here.

    Additional tips: 30 lives can easily be farmed stage 3, but I suggest doing it on one of the 2 sets of 4 enemies that spawn on the climbing tower, with the turrents. It seems to be faster than the gunship method.

    30 more lives can also be farmed on stage 6. Reach one of the ramps before the first boss, where you must jump across a chasm, then move slightly forward. The enemies should spawn in front of you, and the one behind you should jump over your head. A turbo controller is great for this.

    Good luck!
