Subject: [PATCH] SPB special stage experiment

If you smuggle an SPB to after the death of the UFO Catcher, spawn a single, free-on-straightways manta ring before it blows up.
Testing shows that you can get hit by the SPB's explosion only if you use the free manta ring just before a sneaker panel... but also Sal thinks it's cool and I think it adds depth
