Here they are. One for the ending too, so you don't have to torture yourself feeling your way through 8-4 in the dark. :p But of course, if you've seen the 8-4 video, you know the ending's nothing special, though. (These were made in Atari800Win PLus 4.1, btw. Dunno if they'll work in 4.0...)

Some blocks hold 1UPs (brown mushrooms), too.
Yeeeaaah...to get a decent map of 8-4, I think we'd have to find the memory address that controls what palette the game uses for the current level, and find a way to have it at the wrong value during 8-4, so that the level will use a palette that actually shows what the level is made of.
Not to mention, some levels, like 5-4 (and, I suspect, 8-4), are made almost entirely of bricks. I'm not sure how to best go about definitively item searching those levels, other than deciphering the level data from the disk image itself and making an editor for the game, which is currently above my Badass Level as I'm not quite
that good at rom hacking...<_<'
...Although, maybe some combination of cheats would suffice. Moon jump and infinite time would be all you'd need to clear out a level, really. Maybe also invincibility and infinite spike balls...

Sure, go ahead. :)
