Wo wo wing damage At least thats what I've always heard for many years.

​@KRS2000 That's what I hear too.

Haha thanks!! Is one-cycle Andross doable? If so please tell me how! :)

Thanks!! That's definitely a "run resetter" if I mess it up. I think there's an even faster way I can do it, but I need to do some more testing.

This was the first game with a FX Chip.. otherwise the SNES could not handle it. So they built in the graphics accelrator into the game cadrige on the rom board.

Nah that's two different things. The slot machine ending is Out Of This Dimension where there's no way out. The Black Hole can be escaped and it spits you out at different places, including Venom

@@rodracer4567 black hole IS out of this dimension... what's the difference?

@@yourbrokenoven You can escape the Black Hole and it's a warp zone You can't escape Out Of This Dimension

bleb bleb, bleb bleb 808, you lamebrain! blu blu blu bleh bleh

In terms of speed running, the out of this dimension route is a different category. The other problem with that route in terms of speed running is that it's very heavily dependent on luck with the slot machine at the end.

Harvtronix IKR sometimes it will take me over an hour to beat the boss

There's a comment thread down below where someone asked the same question. If your game is a European game then apparently Star Fox is actually something totally different and this game was called Star Wing over there. There's also star fox 2 and star fox 64 which could be what you're talking about. Hard to know without a video or screen shot

Richieray04 I was thinking the same thing. I came here to listen to it after playing super punch out to see if it was the same or not

There’s a few different places you can go! I actually learned about the black hole from a promo thing in a box of Apple Jacks back in the day, haha. It showed how to hit the asteroids and make the warp appear. And then mentioned taking the third ring to go straight to venom.

@@harvtronix Omg that's random ^^ Thanks for sharing that! If there are other warps than those we have discussed, you should make a video and show it!

no it wasnt. now is peak gaming.

Super FX does what nintendcouldn'twithoutit

Yes lol. Little by little. My sum of best is under 13 currently. I've been doing comparisons to see if the game runs faster on Switch vs the original SNES. I discovered a couple of small time saves as well, but it's hard to put them all together in a single run

@@harvtronix I was thinking of how you could potentially beat this run by around a second. It will rock once you can get a sub-13min run altogether.

So true

@@harvtronix do you think it's a nostalgia thing from being a kid? Or were the newer games just some how inferior in presentation? Because they were no doubt better from a technological standpoint, as well as content aspect. BTW, did you ever play Starfox 2?

You're definitely onto something with nostalgia being part of it; it's one of the first games I ever played and it didn't disappoint, so of course it's gonna leave a lasting impression on my soul! But on the other hand, it's far from a perfect game (case and point: it's super laggy, and lag optimization is kinda-sorta the main reason speed runs for it even exist 🤣). I also LOVE the sound design for it. The hard hitting orchestral music and the bass heavy sound effects make it so much more immersive than anything else I've played in the series. SF64's goofy dialog was WAY too loud and distracted from the experience of "Dude, I'm a fighter pilot in a state-of-the-art arwing saving the galaxy!" I did indeed play SF2! I played it for the first time a few years back on the SNES Classic. I got a credit roll after my first 20 minutes without taking a single point of damage. Talk about a let down 🫠. I was so confused because IMO SF1 is a REALLY tough game, and SF2 was not at all what I would have expected as a follow-up. I'm curious of your thoughts on SF2 if you've played it!

@@harvtronix Exactly. That's why I mentioned the part about the sequels having a technological advantage. The music? Chefs kiss. I don't know who sequenced those drums, but they did one hell if a job. I... kind if played Starfox 2, if you want to call it that. I played the unfinished rom on an emulator many moons ago. So I wouldn't say I got to experience the game as intended. I stopped buying Nintendo hardware after the GameCube. It no longer appealed to me. With all the gimmicky controllers and what not. When I did get the GC, it was solely for Smash. So I'm no longer buying Nintendo hardware for a handful of games. I love the Zelda series. So I've had to miss out because of that.
