Back Cursyas are the only Cursyas without a dark form, probably because the [[Flopside Pit of 100 Trials]] would be much harder if the player was constantly sent back to Flipside. It would also be easier to leave the pit, because usually the player can only leave every tenth room, and can not use the [[Return Pipe]].
