With big sub-bosses and bosses that provide a challenge in finding a way to overcome them. Collect items to increase your lives and see if you can get this highest score while avoiding being crushed or falling. Watch out for certain nature items that can slow your character, and manage your health, stamina and lives carefully to make it through the levels.
