16908 Jack can lean down and get the purple key (by push-ups). If this is what you intended, it's not supposed to be in an included mansion.
Minor sore point here. I *never* deliberately intend for this sort of thing. I even hate this in custom mansions and realize it's not for included mansions, but anyway... In this case, it even looks accidental here, because Jack has free and easy access to the key on the other side (once he disables the zapper) without doing push-ups. The wall just needs to be fixed to prevent Jack from cheating is all.
Also, the lever on the falling skull/moving platform trick isn't good for an included mansion, I don't think.
I don't really agree with this, because I did establish early on that there could be
16708 Too hard with all the fast zapper beams. I don't think the zappers here are that difficult. Certainly easier than other sections. They're spaced out, and there's several (6-7) areas where Jack can take a break and consider his next move along the way. He doesn't have to make a mad rush through (though I think it's more fun that way.) In this case, I think it's more a matter of Jack taking a moment, watching where the zappers are and planning his approach before going, and going as slow or fast as he is comfortable with.
Also, Jack can't get down the ladder (bottom right section, 2nd ladder from the right to the left of the spiders) because a tile is blocking his head.
Fixed.
17108 The jump over to the conveyor belts is too long. Also, the left-most lever doesn't do anything.
The jump is possible, and generally not fatal if you miss it, but yes, the jump needs to be absolutely perfect. I'll change it, and fix or remove the lever.

I don't really agree with this, because I did establish early on that there could be
floatinglevers, however I do agree that it's not really obvious where Jack's next move after pulling the lever would be. I think that's problematic here. At the very least I need to make it so that if Jack doesn't jump, then it's not instant death. I'll rework it. I'm slightly concerned about this, because variations of this are used throughout the mansion, and I've seen in at in least one other included mansion. I did devote at least two BBB to specifically cover this topic.
