Does Not Illustrate: Sequel Difficulty Spike

Honestly, this picture doesn't look all that difficult, and besides, the part about it being a sequel is relegated to the caption - never a good thing in images.

Dunno what series to put this under, but I'd suggest a comparison image of the two games.

Aside from the problem of deciphering the screenshot, there isn't really any information about why it's more difficult or why it should be a sequel.

Why is a cloud enemy difficult? Clouds are soft and puffy.

(Aka this image makes no sense if you don't have prior knowledge and context)

Cloud enemy tells me it's a difficult one, considering how clouds tend to be high up, and with the main difficulty in platformers being falling down, "cloud difficulty" isn't exactly on the easy side...

That said, anyone have an actual suggestion?

Not bad enough to pull without replacement, so I'd like to see some suggestions.

If only Slaves to Armok II had a suitable image... :P

Maybe two images, one from Bangai-O◊ and it's sequel Missile Fury. Or maybe even Hover Attack◊ if the trope covers Spiritual Successors.

EDIT: hotlink problem fixed.

I don't see how that is better.
