Awesome remake! I'm a great fan of the original, played a lot on Mame as well recently. No surprise my first ever sample cart for Pico-8 (first steps learning pico's Lua) is a "trainer" of the pig bonus stage with increasing difficulty (Amidus on lexaloffle).
About the bonus stage I wasn't definitely prepared for the odd bonus Hyppo stage (not in the original) is it your own addition or was it in some other remake/ports?
Your Amidar trainer really put me on to doing this remake. I'll link it in my game description if that's okay? Yeah, the hippo thing was my own addition, based on a Mario Party mini-game. I wrote this jingle that I really wanted to use but also wanted to include versions of the original jingles too. Good enough reason!
reached 6th level, it's fundamentally impossible to beat lol
A detail I didn't notice in the first plays is when at higher stages the 'perimeter guy' goes after you in your version he is literally chasing you; in the original it was a little less of a nightmare and more controllable because he just "followed your steps".
Apparently, in the original, the "perimeter guy" does eventually chase the player. After X number of circuits I think. Couldn't find any good videos that showed this, so I just made up the number of circuits he does before he chases you. I'm guessing I made him a little too aggressive?
As for the hippo stage, I'm not great at it either but my 14y/o seems to be able to nail it every time!

Oh and I still suck at the hyppo stage 😅
