Note that you can only have 2 grenades (or bazooka bullets ; 1 missiles shot) on screen, then you need to wait the end of the explosion animation to shot . Maybe to prevent things like this : https://imgur.com/MWRTydO (i found a trick that skip this waiting by offscreen the explosion, but uselessl until last boss, and it slower than actual sub).

Glitches and tricks

  • Event skipping : By jumping at a certain (tight) X position you can cancel the screen lock that trigger the event. I empty shot in the air to let you guys know when it used.
  • Pineapple cap glitch : in stage 20, jump on the machine gun then rejump (after throwing pine).
  • Instant trolley max speed : press down for two frames before landing in.

Stage by stage comments

Mission 1 The Front Line

Crash then Drop Pack is faster than complete slugflyer part.

Mission 3 Dire Straits

Sunk the submarine to reach mission 5. There is one specific x/y position to reach in order to get incomplete screen faster (not necessary to say that i found it by pure luck).

Mission 5 Battlefield Bridge

Nothing here, just keep max speed as long as possible.

Mission 6 Turbulent Transmissions

Miss a shot, it just pass near the left ear of a soldier. I don't even try to tasediting it cause all my past try change the behavior somewhere later.

A veeeeeery long auto-scroller stage... I try my best to keep it "entertaining".

Mission 17 Contact

Memory: Judging
Memory: Not sure where you got the 512/576 numbers from but jumping is definitely faster despite the long landing lag, so this appears to be well optimized.
I definitely liked the movie, the action was fast paced despite a couple of autoscrollers and the audience liked it too.
Accepting to Moons.
