1,390 bytes left in bank 2 (level 1)
23 bytes left in bank 3 (levels 2 & 4)
5 bytes left in bank 4 (level 3)
1,720 bytes left in bank 5 (ending, game over, giant’s room)
1,089 bytes left in bank 6 (minigame)
4,052 bytes left in bank 7 (empty)
1,630 bytes left in bank 8 (inline 6lives_statusbar.asm)
