Nope, as shown here: http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i246/don..._dansfinger.png Whether I disable or show the sprite layer, that hand is still there. Makes me wonder if Dan even starts off at that point. Kinda funny if he didn't.

	The Cow says....TRUE!

I could be wrong, but watch for yourselves! 2:30 is where you can see the strange hand, and 3:10 is when the Dan Chase starts.

Look at the YouTube video Enigmaopoeia referenced, and at 3:12 (give or take a few milliseconds) if you pause it you can see that Dan's hand (the one not raised at that moment) is in the same exact place as the mystery object, and looks very very much like it...in fact, if you pause it just right, it looks nearly identical (at least to me; anybody agree?). Also, the object is no longer there when Jennifer first runs out before Dan comes on the screen. It seems to be Dan's hand, to me, but it's not the first thing you see of Dan when he does come out. So that may or may not answer what it is. As for why it's there before Dan chases you (since that's not how Dan first appears on the screen) is still a mystery, even if it is his hand...

The game needs to check if Lotte is dead.) My theory is that there is only one version of the second cave map, thus Dan is spawned there no matter what, but he won't come after you unless you've triggered the cradle flag. I'm sure if you would somehow get over to the right edge of the screen again after dealing with Dan, (is it possible to get back over there when the cave is crumbling? Never tried.) the mystery blob would be gone. This is a check (not to mention the crumbling cave effect) to make sure that Dan has been dealt with before you go to the elevator. Don't even get me started on how Ending F is a huge flag check... So yes, in conclusion (if you don't feel like reading my wall of text) that is most likely his hand, just in a pre-activated state. This is a SNES game.
