Thank you! The warp routes avoid the bosses and give you a bunch of 1ups. I might have to do another run using the speedup hack and try facing all the busses to get the full challenge.
Good show, Pete! Just a heads up, the SA-1 mod is not the true form of the game. What was released is. It's important to remember that the folks who made the game were completely aware of the Super Famicom's and Super Nintendo's limitations. SA-1 is not a correction. It's a patch for speed freaks. Nothing more. You're absolutely right that the difficulty is toned down for the console version. I have put myself through the hell (no death attempts) that is the arcade version. That being said, successive loops on this version offer plenty of challenges. Very difficult. I recommend you give loops 2-4 a shot on the Normal setting. If you can manage that, try upping the setting to Hard or Arcade and looping it. You will find that there was never a need for any kind of patch. Cheers!
Wow, you really did put yourself through hell to no miss the arcade version of Gradius 3! I like your suggestion, I think I will attempt a multi-loop run on normal and see how I can do. Take care!
@@Pete_Hahn They were only attempts, buddy! 😂 Alas, I could not manage to clear Prominence Planet (fire stage). If I ever beat Gradius 3 (Arcade) without dying, that would be uploaded on to TH-cam, lickety-split! Good luck with your attempts!
The original SA-1 patch had an issue where boss speeds were actually increased, making it more difficult than even the arcade version. Recently, a fix for this has been made, called "SA-1 Origin", that restores the original boss speeds, only without slowdown. Give this updated one a try before writing it off. It is much more fair, and seems to be the intent of the SA-1 patch to start with. The original one was insane.
It only works with Formation Option and Rotation Option. Once you have all 4 of your options you simply pick up enough power ups to highlight option again and then press and hold A to spread them out. Hope this helps, thanks for commenting!
If you have a snes with the second control press and hold XY and unlock moving with the first control! ....it was long time ago when I was a child 11-15 year old ! Those soundtracks are my Fucking childhood! Right there!! 🥹@@Pete_Hahn
