Centipede: An Atari Sudoku

*** TODAY'S PUZZLE ***
Today it's Blobz' 60th birthday so we're celebrating with a blast from our arcade past! This is a sudoku themed on the classic Atari game Centipede, it's approachable and it's lovely. Do have a go if you have a little time :)

Play the puzzle at the link below:

Rules:
Normal sudoku rules apply. Adjacent digits along the centipede differ by at least 5. A digit on a mushroom indicates how many mushrooms contain that digit. White dots separate consecutive digits. Digits on the pink cannon form a non-repeating consecutive sequence.

Thanks to all of you who have helped us achieve the milestone of 600,000 subscribers on YouTube. Below you can find a link to a free puzzle pack we have curated to celebrate :)
