Annex is the challenge section with four selections available.
 * 1) Warrior Room - defeat as many enemies as possible within the time limit.
 * 2) Gold Room - hit enemies to collect a mountain of gold before time runs out.
 * 3) Tempest Room - race for record time whilst avoiding or stopping any obstacles in the way.
