Texts are saying 'up next' and '>>>' at 58%, telling that the player now faces the dual section of the part. At 91-92%, there is a mini-wave spam section of the level, similar to Down Bass; however, Solar Flare has a normal-size portal and an invisible quadruple-speed change in the middle of the spam section before the second mini-size portal and the invisible double-speed change.
