A tenth delegated map, docs/engine/level-09.md, traced The Mysterious Mr. Friend and checked it in the oracle (deaths forced by poking health). The port now plays the level.

Framework:

• Aimed throws (level 9's case of 0x80061c98, the target from 0x80059b34). The nearest visible character within 512 of the facing is aimed at. The direction is toward it with y replaced by -300 after normalising, speed 170.
• Follow bites use the character's bite wait (Mr. Friend 36 VSyncs, as seen).

Level 9 (rugrats::level9):

• Tommy and Mr. Friend (46) where cine 17 leaves them. 91, 800 and the cine props are hidden. He follows and bites for 15.
• Hits: a thrown thing's +0x6d (ball 50, can 30), or the kick: Triangle touching him (within 1100: he stops at range / 2 to bite), Tommy's 50, animation 37 or 50.
• A hit staggers him (mode 1) with his callbacks off: no hits or kicks until 300 + (rand & 3) x 300 dt after the hit animation.
• At 0 health he dies (sound 100, hidden) and the counter 0x800c4cd8 goes down from 4:
  • 3: cine 18; after card 710 all three come home at full health and chase, phase 2, song 0;
  • 1: phase 3 with one try;
  • 0: cine 19, won.

Checked in scripted runs: a kick for 50, a second kick ignored while he staggers, the kill after recovery asking for cine 18, then all three chasing Tommy in phase 2.
