The fact that he loves green, doesn't matter. If he's going to have a theme, not all his stages are going to have green. Remember Aquatic Project from me...maybe? That stage, BARELY had red or orange in it, if at all. The only reason Desert Palace was orange, is because it's a pyramid, OK? So yeah, the more you know.
But yeah, the glitch death should count. When you fell because of the doughnut blocks, you went backwards to parts that already fell, as more of these fell...it was going to be disaster anyway! The glitch is only it trying to save you...then you decide to use a power-up when you aren't even dead yet, and it killed you. In other words, you FAILED at getting a power-up. WOW.
