I think it was a bad decision not to have a save point between the two sections, it makes it needlessly frustrating since you have to wait 15 seconds to get through the timed gates every time you fail the vertical section.
Yeah good point indeed, although, arguably, it could also just be too hard for me to easily go through. Made it through nonetheless, now yet an even more difficult challenge awaits.
before the reset, you can hold right, jump at the end and it gets you in the gates right before it "explodes". and for the spores going 1,4,3,2 (counting the spores from left to right) allows you to get to the next gate without waiting at all (assuming you followed the first setup)
