I couldn't find a thread for this game. Apologies if there is one.
I'm going to be looking into doing some speed runs of this game since I just ordered a supergun and own the board. There are a few things I'm wondering about, though. Perhaps someone here knows the answer or could help.
How do random drops work in this game? You need to get the shield to complete the game, but farming for the shield can potentially take a long time. Is there a set drop sequence or something? I used to do score runs of this and noticed I would tend to get the shield drop in the same place fairly frequently. It would be really good to know how this works.
I read about a screen scrolling trick in stage 4 that can potentially save time on the TAS. I made a video of this awhile ago:

I read about the above trick on a website that I can no longer find. On that page, it mentioned that there is a chance this screenwrap/wrong warp/whatever you want to call it will respawn you on stage 5 instead of 4b. This would obviously be a really useful thing to know for sure.
That's all I am wondering about for now. Thanks in advance!
Edit: Uhhh...for some reason this double posted? I don't know what would've caused that. Sorry!
