Possible soft-lock on level fun+
when popping the balloons to find a key in the light blue area no keys spawn, if you reset the level in the light blue area, no balloons re-spawn. if you reset in the main area and go back, no balloons re-spawn. restarting the game does nothing, so you are effectively soft-locked.

If i am missing something please let me know (FYI i have scowered the ground for any key but nothing shows up)

when you get the key, the game will save. doesn't matter if you die or reset you will still have the key.

Let me rephrase....

Even if you DON'T get the key it still COUNTS as GETTING the key. You DON'T even have to pick up the key for it to count. all you need to do is just pop the balloon that has the key.
Speedruns just reset the level as soon they pop the balloon that has the key because it is NOT needed for it to COUNT.

If you got "softlocked" because you died before picking up the key, then you clearly didn't check the main room to see if you still have the key in the machine thing.
