I know you can only play the final boss on Supreme Master. For some reason I thought the enemies along the way were more difficult as well, but I don't think that's the case. I went ahead and changed the game rule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you can only play the final boss on Supreme Master. For some reason I thought the enemies along the way were more difficult as well, but I don't think that's the case. I went ahead and changed the game rule. I looked into the difficulty a bit more. The manual doesn't mention it, but strategy guides out on the internet indicate the enemy HP and attack rate goes up from Warrior to Supreme Master. I did a quick play through on level one with both settings and didn't notice much of a difference, if at all. Either way, if you can't go all the way through the end of the game, what's the point? We'll stick with Supreme Master. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asponge Posted September 22, 2019 Author Share Posted September 22, 2019 51,200 I forgot about all the platforming between levels 6 and 7. I lost 3 lives trying to get up to the door at the end of level 6. Need to shake the rust off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floyd Turbo Posted September 24, 2019 Share Posted September 24, 2019 (edited) 45,680 Slight improvement. Those jumps are killer. You really have to time everything perfectly. Edited October 1, 2019 by Floyd Turbo Updated score Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cyclone kick is my go-to. The manual says to hit A or B after jumping, but I always hit both buttons after jumping. That technique seems to work more consistently for me. YMMV.

Other than a cheap falling death it was the bosses that took all my lives. Those ninja guys near the helicopter are the worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When the ninjas charge you, jump and perform a cyclone kick. You'll hit both of them at the same time. They'll charge again two more times. Repeat the same kick. Once you get the timing down correctly this becomes the easiest boss fight in the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those ninja guys near the helicopter are the worst. They're one of the most annoying enemies in the game. As asponge said, try to do a cyclone kick as they're coming you. It's A+B and then A or B again at the peak of your jump. Even I have trouble doing it consistently and I've beaten this game many times. Regular jump kicks are okay against them as well. You don't see them again until right before the final bosses where you have to face four (two at a time) on an isometric plane where they can jump around all over place and make your life hell.

It's no problem. By the way I really wanted to take another run at this one but just didn't have the time this weekend. I'll have to take another crack at your score when I get the time.

A good player can get over 150k just from cyclone kicking everyone. I'm too inconsistent at the cyclone kicks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
