Funny thing about the orange platforms: we've set them up so it makes you feel like you barely get through if you waste time (unless you waste too much time and then you don't get through), which makes it feel even better if you optimize your time and pass the obstacles with enough "time". A good example should be level 9 (Vanishing Act in case I'm mistaken of the number) where you can take a secret shortcut in the pit section, giving you a lot of time for the final laser gate.
