- I beat this game on normal, but I have yet to make it all the way through on HARD. The missiles are insane to try and avoid on a few bosses. That is my problem area. If anyone has any advice on that particular part of the game, I'm all ears to try it again.

It amazes me how Mike can play a game like this well and keep a conversation going at the same time.
I just finished watching this and see some things I think would help, but I haven't played the game this far myself:
1) The green laser destroys the missiles, but they take damage before dying. The clearest demonstration is at 3:22:00. You destroyed 6 volleys of missiles there. I also saw it happen with weaker green lasers, but obviously high level works the best.
If you can bring a reasonably strong green laser to the Nightmare Boss, and position yourself below the missiles when they come out, you might be able to destroy a lot of them, or do enough damage that the side-ships can finish them off.
2) Form-reverse might help kill the missiles also, because your ships will shoot behind you when you dodge. That's where the missiles will be.
3) If you get to the Nightmare Boss but lost the laser, try switching to Form-Free. In that formation, the ships get in the boss' face and shoot him until they die. This maximizes how much damage they can do in a short time. They might also block or distract some of the missiles. You'll lose a lot of side-ships with this strategy but I think this is what you're saving them up for.
4) You're losing a lot of side-ships on level 3 because they hit the walls, especially in narrow passages. It looks like Form-Reverse would fix that. In form-reverse, the ships are at the front and back of your ship so they won't hit the walls.
Form-Reverse also made them safer against the fireballs on the level 1 boss, because their position reduces how far they need to move to get out of the way.
I noticed on your last attempt when you used form-reverse, you were starting to get more ships than you've ever had before, because they weren't dying as much.
==============
Appendix) From your commentary I can tell that you're a thumb pusher. :) You might be better off if you try to use your fingers with this game, so you can tap the A button more easily. I switched to fingering during the NES days so 3-fingering the Genny came naturally to me, but I know it might be awkward if you aren't used to it. I never thought about this before but I can see how you'd prefer the SNES pad if you're a thumbs guy.
Appendix B) When you get to the hard bosses, don't reset until you've played it through. Those are rare opportunities to practice, if nothing else. You only get a few seconds at it for each playthrough, so don't pass it up when you get there.
The missiles have a limited turning radius, so individually they aren't too hard to evade, but what makes it hard is when they're scattered around you and coming in from different directions. The firing pattern of the Nightmare Boss creates that scenario.
When you steer them into more of a group they get easier to get away from. That's why going behind the boss might help - because it will tend to result in all the missiles going nearly the same direction to reach you, which causes them to group up some. Then you can move down the screen with the missiles above you, which is a good firing opportunity.
Dude your comment was 10 paragraphs lmfao calm down
Best Genesis shooter, which probably makes it the best shooter of the 90s, period. So many amazing games in that genre on the platform, and MUSHA stands out even amongst the best of the best. Genesis Did (H E H) for shooters what the SNES did for JRPGs. Criminal it wasn't on the Mini - least, not in the US
It is hard to choose, several good on Mega Drive. But best of 90`s? Hmm.. My vote goes to Raiden, I just love Raiden. But then again, I also love MUSHA, and others. The Raiden Project on PSX is an absolute favorite. I even really like Raiden Trad on Mega Drive.
Complile are amazing - the Turbografx beats the megadrive hands down for Shmups imo, but who cares at this point when you can have it all.
Best shooter of the 90s is going way too far bro
This man is a monster at games. A reflex genius that makes it look easy
Been playin' video games all my life. Still, I learn about a new game every other day.
MIke: I like it when you upload the whole stream to You Tube. Because of all the random topics discussed and seeing you real time go through a game. And because I can't catch you on Twitch mainly because of my schedule with work and such. Always enjoy watching your streams man. Makes my day at times. Keep it up man!
I prefer it cause you can see the progression to him beating it
With the 4th boss at 2:51:25 who fires the missiles, you can shoot down most if not all of the missiles before impact!! And then dodge the remaining 2 or 3 that you couldn't destroy. That's what you gotta do, but on the final level, you have to dodge most of them. Don't give up! You can do it!
Super stoked to see you playing this super awesome game, which came out in 1990, on just a tiny .5 megabyte cart, blew everything else on the market away in graphics, performance (tons of sprites, scaling, parallax), and sound and gameplay, a real Genesis/16-bit achievement.
Lord Karnage would approve
MUSHA = Metallic Un Super Hybrid Armor. Never played it myself, but it has a great soundtrack. I listen to it often.
"Cinemassacre Game Room broadcast. Streaming all the way from. NEW JERSEY!"
I would've loved to play this one when I was little. Probably wouldn't have cleared it though, maybe not even today. Mike, could you do a playthrough of Thunder Force 4 next? The greatest schmup of the 16-bit generation. That one was perfect, and a little nuts on the hardest difficulty.
He has streamed that funny enough but didn't beat it on there.
This game is one of my favorite Sega games. I like the orange power-up with bomb that makes black-hole. so cool
This game is gorgeous... I'm sad I've never played it and happy it's still new to me 😂. I know what I'm doing after work.
I love genesis graphics and sound
Those powerups have the kanji for power on them: 力
came looking for this, I've always thought they couldnt be "2". Thanks!
Musha cured my depression! 👌🇵🇭❤️

Intergalactic space arcade...and Truxton.
Loved this game back in the day. It was my favorite space shooter on the Genesis. I'm disappointed that it's not part of the Genesis Mini collection.
It is on the Japanese and Asian ones so if you want to play it on the Sega Genesis Mini then you have to get either of those.
Oh and it's called Mega Drive Mini there in case you want to search it up to get that game.
Hack is out so easy to add
My advice is to use only the blue/water power up. It gives you a shield that can help you survive boss battles. It powers up with multiple pick-ups, allowing you to take even more hits. I don’t remember exactly how the scaling works on it though. I remember using it for a normal play through and not dying much at all. I haven’t played M.U.S.H.A. in a long time, but I distinctly remember thinking that the blue power up was deceptively op.
When you increase your speed it makes the "reverse" pods detach and drag behind (3:34:07),
otherwise they seem stuck to you and only can decrease when you die (3:30:56).
I wish I owned this. Why did it have to be so expensive?
Everdrive can be an option but there is all ways something special putting the game cart in
Those shampoo/bath soap bottles were in the 80's, I remember them.
All your wingman being shot down in the beginning reminds me of the opening of Nier Automata.
This game is as "rare" as AVGN videos on TH-cam.
Not a big fan of the shooter genre but this one is something else
You should check out "Space Megaforce" for the SNES as well - that shooter is amazing, and it has barely any slowdowns at all.
amazing soundtrack
2:25:00
It's funny to me that he compared this game to Ninja Gaiden earlier, because this is exactly how my experience with Ninja Gaiden ended.
This is the curse of hard games that have infinite continues. It encourages you to beat your head against the wall until you hate the game and go insane.
As a kid, I tried to force my way through Ninja Gaiden, and my game didn't end until I got so pissed off that I hit the NES with my little boy fist, crashing the game and cracking the door on the cart slot.
I swore off that evil game and have never played that far into it ever since. I last played it ~10 years ago with a ban on continues, died on level 2 and walked away.
Hi Mike Matei.
Robo Warrior for NES is a good but hard game. It's like a puzzle if you are not into playing this, you could just pass. But if I miss the game play, It's okay I will try searching for the gameplay. Love the Gameplay of MUSHA by the way.
This is a great game! Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful game, indeed
All right cool no Tony I love it great video
What an awesome game. Thanks for bringing it to all of our attention. Big respect for getting the original cartridge.
It would be interesting to hear your attitude towards, cleaning and long term keeping & maintenance of cartridges. I was saddened to see a few of my N64 cartridge lugs and connector pins showing superficial corrosion already,
Then I read the cartridge back label, which said along the lines of “it is recommended to clean cartridges every 12 months” O_O
I have never played this game, but I can definitely tell that it is a great game.
This was main reason to own a Genesis the shootem ups
this damn mike never plays bad street brawler cause he doesnt want to laugh it seems
the 4th and 5th generation era of gaming was great for shmups!
I think this is the most expensive Genesis game out there, which sucks, cause this games fun. It sucks how much power you lose if you die though. But yea this is like $600+ CIB now which is nuts.
Edit - Also I think it would have helped him if he put his pods in a different position for when the heat-seeking missiles appear. Any of the side, reverse, or free form would have been pretty helpful.
The Nightmare Shit..is the shit you take after a bad T.A.C.O.
1 of my favorite shmups of all time
check out the NES pre-cusor to this game - GUN NAC
Mike, this game is awesome. It’s the only repro cart I own, and I’m going to have to eventually break down and shell out the cash. Cool vid!
I love this game! I got a copy at the flea market a few years ago
Lucky Man
What an expensive waste of money ! That we all wish we had gatherin dust on our shelves
Hey Mike. Do Chakan on Sega Genesis. It's extremely difficult, but good for the time. I played all the hardest games on Sega. Particularly, Sonic, R-Type and all master system games. You and James should do episode on Phantsy Star.
Chakans a horrible game. Don't make him do that. Many better deserving games for the system.
It's rare as in just the warranty registration card is selling for 60$pkus on eBay...... Yea I'ma pass on this for now
Sooo ... It's NOT a prequel to Onimusha. Ok.
Yeah, thats my kind of a lets play 😁
316 2:24:28. Mike freezes his system with his foot
This game was Ridiculously hard …..
A very tough shooter and love the shirt Mike
James And Mike 2020!
I swear joining twitch with amazon prime doesnt send out notifications I get tmr's notifications all the time but never get yours
I want this fucken good shampoo
Google isn't interested in investing in YT. At least not the types of updates and upgrades we would actually want.
$400+ for a copy, depending on the seller
Man thinking of that cartoon Mask. I reckon an 80s nostalgia shmup like that NeoGeo one on PSP where its got yeh NeoGeo characters or suppose like Smash but not fighting, do a shmup one with a 80s/90s cartoons theme. Like Mask, Centurions, Transformers, He- Man, etc. would b pretty crazy hey. Id play the shit out of it.
I own this too, enjoy mike.
Also not a fav..i think Lightening force or Bio hazard battle are the better, specially Lightening force.
Mike needs to beat both of those, he played them before.
gaiares for the sega genesis is good but it's pretty dang hard like twin cobra
Are you playing this on a orginal Sega Genesis or a Sega mega SG
He's playing on the nomad
SEGA 🎶🎵🎶
You da man mike ! 🎮👍
Can i has this game..😺
2:24:28 you crash the game
Hold the fucking B button... This game doesn't look very good but it's ok. Nowhere near Super Aleste but maybe the best on Genesis. Music sucks though.
What an angry video game nerd
