Wrong. You CAN get past it. You just have to be REALLY lucky and get a spin jump to clear the second cloud. I did it once... And screwed up right before I cleared the rest of that stage.
Anywho, anybody interested in a Navy Battles tournament?

Remember: Find all ships and leave one with 1 hit (but know where that hit is, otherwise you might mess up and get taken out when/if you're knocked to 1! So yeah, I'd suggest keeping a homing missile, if possible.), then start looking everywhere else for power-ups to get a higher score!
