Near the end of Carnival Night Zone Act 2, the player comes to the room with a single Spinning Wheel placed in a shaft. Instruction booklets and the game itself do not give any hints to the Spinning Wheel's functionality, giving the players a hard time understanding how it works. Because of this, this Spinning Wheel has received the nickname "Barrel of Doom" from the fan community. [..] Yuji Naka [..] gave his official apology for including it in the game.
