Cinemassacre well mike starting his own revenue flow?
This is my favorite video
Curious, do you truly enjoy playing this game while playing this game? I love the look and I appreciate the nostalgia from this cart, but I wonder if there's some undetected masochist inside me that takes over whenever I hear an 8 or 16-bit tune. Being a hardcore gamer is a lot like being in an abusive relationship. I know I should move on, but nope. Just give me the Blue flame!!!
Cinemassacre it’s not a kniiiiiiiiife, it’s the Dagger!
It's almost as if this game was a big FU to players from Capcom.
What's that u want an energy bar, FU players, play all through again but harder.
When you guys said, "Try the flame." I was sitting at home like, Noooooooooo!
That red devilguy is the greatest tease in videogame history
i’ve watched this Trilogy atleast 10 times. ages perfectly and great to pass the time
Every Halloween man, tradition 🎃👻
Those are rookie numbers.
Me too, buddy. Me too.
Yes!
in my opinion this is the best episode in the James & Mike Mondays library! well done
it's so much fun to watch you guys play these games together, especially the really good games. It reminds me of how much fun it is to tag team an old single player game with a good friend.
Keep up the good work.
The fact that they've gotten this far without figuring out the game mechanics is astonishing all on its own
this game not only excels in difficulty, but in graphics and music!
Hyper Mickey and Fred Fuchs should team up and make a game!
Hyper Fuchs!!
MY GOD!!! YOU NEED THE GOLDEN ARMOR! OPEN THE CHEST IN ORDER
it's always 5 chest on each level!
Weapon
Blue Armor
Golden Armor
Blue Shield
Red Shield
If you get Hit the order restart
Wizard
Weapon
Gray Armor
Blue
Golden
Blue Shield
Red Shield
Powers with the Golden Armor
Knife = Dragon
Lance = Lightning
Bow = Discover Chests
Scythe = Tornados
Fire = 3 Orb Shields
Axe = Beams (All Directions)
I don't remember the other
Blue Armor?
Aquamarine? Green? U_U Metallic Green Blueish?
lol i wanted to yell this the whole time, and about the chest spawns, they were skipping them!
Sword lightning.
Are you sure it's the same order? Whenever I play (granted, I'm talking level 1), I swear I only bother with the armor chests once I have the knife.
They laughed so hard at Hyper Mickey, that they missed the name Tall Nob.
because they are big nobs
my next 2 dog names
Man you guys are troopers for making it all the way to the end of this! Awesome :D
This is the most animated I've seen you guys in a long time. Love it.
That "hyper Mickey" bit just killed me. Out of nowhere.
I just learned that ghost and goblins became Maximo, one of my cherished childhood games...Dat's freakin crazy man.
I bought this game because of these videos.
I always liked this game. A lot more fun than the original NES game.
I just did myself
Herr der Zeiten
I wish I had a better Super Nintendo. Mine is on its last legs. If I had one that worked better, I'd probably hook it up and play my old games.
that sucks
Ordered this today with a few other snes cartridges :)
Red Demon = Greatest troll ever.
Love James & Mike Mondays, makes my day every time!
That red demon was so notorious, he got his own game called Demon Crest.
Conglaturation !!!
You completed a great Game!
You prooved Endurance and entertained me well!
Go on!
^^
I really love these guys, but I must say that it's absolutely EXCRUCIATING watching you guys play this.
Now I wanna see you guys play Demon's Crest
oh yeah!
PlasmaBoom Seconded. One of the most underrated (and unknown) SNES games imo.
Diamond I know this is shameless self promotion, but I have a speed drawing video of me drawing the Dark Demon. If your interested.
Diamond Hey I checked out some of your videos. Your recording quality is fantastic. What do you use to record with?
I love the music in that game.
I really hope the next video is Mike trying to show James how to do the Turbo Tunnel in the original Battletoads.
Jason Brown cough cough
Cinemassacre Do you need a cough drop?
Cinemassacre It really is easy once you get it just remember to land your jumps at the bottom of the screen and when shifting between columns use small tight movements.
You must be a starman after all.
Wow that last picture with the knight holding the princess - the inspiration for Braid! Great video guys thanks!
Lol, I love how James just turns redder and redder as he gets more frustrated.
I think part of it is laughter, also. :)
Everyone knows you get the knife and you KEEP the knife.
Forgive me if someone already said this.
You sow grain to grow wheat/hay
You then reap what you sow with a scythe.
You keep the wheat (soul) and discard the chaff (body)
Azrael > Angel of Death > Grim Reaper > Reaper of Souls.
We good now children??
Urgh, meant to post this on part 1, fml.
11:11 Oh damn, that was a super close, the Blue Fireball practically singed the hair on Sir Arthur's head xD
I lost it in part two at the end! OMG "it goes everywhere but where you are trying to hit"
It was cool actually getting to see you guys try out different weapons. These games, you almost always end up playing with a friend, and they almost always force you to stick to one weapon only, and wont let you try out the others for yourself. I appreciated actually getting to see what the other weapons did : 3
Rule #1: Get the knife
Rule #2: Get the knife!
Rule #3: GET THE KNIFE!
More like:
Get the bow
Get the bow
GET THE BOW
Not in this game. In this game it's get the Scythe. Gold Armourd Scythe kills everything in the game. You're practically untouchable once you get it.
Rule 4: replace knife with bracelet!
I could just imagine Mike and James having a nightmare of them being in hell being tormented by that demon after this.
That weapon at the beginning has got to be one of the weirdest weapons I've ever seen in a retro platform game.
you guys laughed at the dagger thing so much and that is the weapon of choice. you guys are too funny.
Holy shit, open the fucking chests. They trigger when you move to certain places on the screen, and give you green armor, gold armor, and a SHIELD.
Also play Demon's Crest next. And get the TRUE ending. 100%.
Agreed, this was painful to watch... "Let's avoid the chests now" aaargh!!! xD
I was looking for some sad person on youtube trying to play this and i found you guys! That was one hell of entertaining gameplay. I hope there are more like this.
You guys got to the end of the game without figuring out how the chests spawn, which I think is crazy. They freaked out because they managed to make a chest appear at the beginning of the level, but never thought about HOW they did that.
how does it work? i could never beat that game as a kid.
you just have to kinda jump at specific points. the spawns trigger when you hit the spots in the air at a specific angle. for instance at 9:20, the trigger point is right at the bag of gold.
that weird weapon is called the Tri-Blade if I recall correctly and with the Bronze or Golden armor it turn into the Shiruken
I couldn't help but notice the difficulty setting at 17:22...and it was on beginner.
I think they used codes to skip levels after awhile, how else could they have 6 lives on level 7 with only 6000 some odd points.
A continue?
@@kaldogorath I think continues only give you 3 lives, but I could be wrong.
@@jons5756 you can set the number of lives up to 9 on the options menu!
James & Mike...on my off-days, I look forward to these videos in my sub box EVERY morning after I had my morning wake n bake :)
I love these videos, being a kid born in '94, most of these games I've never played, let alone HEARD of - and you guys are filling that void for me cause you literally remind of my best friend Mikael and I back when we were tikes sitting on the couch playing N64 and what not
Nerd on :P
A lot of the old games are a lot of fun, especially the platformers and shooters which tend to age better.
Hyper Mickey! LOL
4:54 .....OMFG!!!! Awesome trilogy, guys!
To beat one part of the game took 2 episodes. To beat the final boss took 2 seconds.
Guy in underpants, fighting red devil + 2 bone dragon heads - outstanding picture!:D
**talks about the real final boss extensively**
**shows 2 seconds of final boss gameplay**
The laughter is infectious!
Scythe with the gold armor is OP. They were so close.
11:09 Omg I got goosebumps and actually grabbed my seat.. That was tense
I love seeing you guys getting so frustrated playing this game. This game used to kill me when I was a kid!
One little trick worth mentioning-shooting in the air after a double jump
will cause your blast to flash red and be twice as powerful.
It's Funny that the axe does normal damage, and they miscounted
Nice to see you guys havin a good time with "Super Get the Knife".
Chests are triggered by hot spots. They don't decide when to show up, you do. You just have to remember these hotspots. Where to jump and all that. There is always the same number of chests. What you get in them depends on your condition before opening them. If you have the regular armor, a certain chest will always have the green. If naked, it will have a wizard. Ect ect.
woooooow. if this was continue, that sick ladder dodge would've definitely made the epic maneuvers list for sure
Avoid all chests, even though they might contain armour, just because there might be a shitty weapon there that you can EASILY avoid?
Interesting strategy :D
I know, it was hilarious watching this, total bumble. Wonderful.
They missed so many armours the whole game
18:19 Crow: "The end? Uh.... yes! No! I wanna change my answer!" Joel: "No, always wonder."
Hyper Mickey? Speaking of Mickey, The Music Reminds me of Magical Quest. James and Mike should do that Game next!
Yup, Capcom have an unique 16 bit music style and I love it from my childhood. Magical Quest, SGnG, Mega Man 7, Aladdin for SNES, SF 2, all have that great style
James that Hyper Mickey impression could easily be an impression of Mickey Mouse trying to impersonate Daffy Duck.
I love that these games make you replay the whole game for the ending. It is cruel but so is the series. I never want that to change.
You don't think it's too cheap?
thank you guys for all your hard work.
Too bad that you did not understand how the chests work. They are not appearing randomly, but there are depending on invisible triggers throughout the levels. And most importantly, their defensive content depends on how many you've opened before (in the same level) and on Arthur's health.
When you know that, you can easily have at least the gold armor quite rapidly, especially in this level 7.
Dialectical Materialism
well when your jumping is from avoiding monsters to survive one might fail to notice that.
I'm also surprised they couldn't figure this out. It's not hard. You jump at a certain point, and the chest will appear.
This level isn't that hard, anyway. It was painful watching them fail again and again.
How Mike has finished Battletoads, but can't finish this game is beyond me.
matterofact i wanna see the gold armor so bad! i never got it either
Dialectical Materialism I think you're right. He completed the Turbo Tunnel stage, but probably not the full game.
Arrgh my favorite game, but a horrible painful episode to watch!
It's like they decided to play a game without taking any power ups... but why?!
Gold armour = easy win!
You guys are warriors to have the endurance to play through this.
and that''s why Red Arremer got his own series!!! BOSS!!!
I bought Gargoyle's Quest 2 for 3DS, because it was on discount for Halloween. Now I (kind of) have the entire trilogy.
11:50 Jumping or Double jumping will cause certain chests to spawn in. That chest in particular spawns when you're jumping to the left at the beginning.
Dudes, the treasure chests show up if you make certain jumps, typically over the chests, but often somewhere almost offscreen or from a high point on the map.
The way it works is there are invisible triggers that when your sprite intersects, it makes a chest appear nearby. They are always at the same place so when you find a chest you take note of where you passed if you want to trigger it again in the future.
18:09 - You guys were laughing at "Hyper Mickey" but totally missed "Tall Nob" XD
18:07 Actor Designer: Tall Nob. Yeah, he's definitely a knob job.
That was a sweet battle at around the 4:50 mark! James was cornered by two baddies and still managed to get out of it....before dying but still pretty cool!
well....
How long did it take you guys to do all of this? There were so many moments where your patience really got tested and I won't blame you guys since I remembered hearing 5 hours of playing time. Great video you guys!
I don't know what it is, but you made these videos interesting to watch inspite of showing the same part of a level over and over again. Good job!
This game is fucking hard, but if you know how to trigger the chests, you can get easily the green armor in every stage.
In this part, you learnt how to trigger them (they are always in the same fixed positions), why didn't you open them?
The chests ALWAYS have the same item order: weapon, green armor, golden armor and blue shield. Unless you lose the armor, of course, then the order changes (and then you are fucked up).
You triggered four chests once, so you had the chance to get the golden armor! And you always have the same chance because the chests are always in the same places!
In order to kill Red Arremer, don't shoot like crazy (he will always avoid your shoots). Just wait until he flies down then shoot.
James' Hyper Mickey impersonation is the highlight of this video...XD
You guys should play the Super Star Wars games. I'd say they're probably around the same difficulty level as this game.
I think they are harder than this.
Jason Brown You might be right, I never even made it to Cloud City in Super Empire. =p
Baron von Han
The Star Wars games give me tons of trouble, especially the older ones. The ones on NES/SNES are a huge headache. I don't know how anyone can beat those games.
SW games on SNES are really hard, but believe me, that super ghouls and ghosts are away far from SW. In SW you at least can control your jump in this fuckin SGG once you jumped you cant turn back, this makes you die in a lot ways when you jump trying to avoid something. I was able to beat the Sw series but i just rage quited from SGG.
Baron von Han i do!! but the final darth vader was fricking hard!!!
This was some supreme dedication, I watched all 3
Finally playing this game.
I find it to be really fun. But the single thing that would make it way more fair is the jumping mechanics.
If you could move while your in the air, and direct your jump, it would be a MUCH better game.
I find that by the time I commit to a jump, it is too late because an enemy shows up and I jump right into it.
Also, like James and Mike said, there should be certain weapons which are considerably more powerful than others. Some of the common enemies take far too long to kill with any weapon.
Bad jumping mechanics were common in old games. NES was much worse.
As far as the weapons, yeah some of them are far less useful than others. I don't remember hardly ever using the axe when I played this game. It's probably my least used weapon.
it wouldn't make it a "better" game. It would make it an easier game. They intentionally made it so you can't move while jumping to up the difficulty, and it worked. This game was made purposely to be very difficult. Plus if you think about it it's far more realistic than being able to change your flight path in mid-air. If you jump forward in real life you're committed to that jump, you can't change where you land lol. It was a design choice to make the game even harder. It's not a bad mechanic, it's a more challenging mechanic
***** It's kind of funny to bring up realistic jumping in a game that not only has a double jump, but a double jump where you can change direction on the second jump.
leroystanks
That's true, but a game can have a mixture of realistic and unrealistic mechanics. I'm not saying that the reason they chose jumping to function this way was for realism, but instead to increase difficulty. I was just pointing out that the way they chose jumping to work in this game just happened to actually be more like real life jumping. It kind of makes you think how silly it actually is that in most games you can control your movement while mid-air. It's not really something you notice too often
***** Why are you talking about realism in a game where you can throw an infinite number of axes? lol
2:19 James' worst enemy.
I remember when my friend and I stayed for at least 8h trying to beat this game and had serious trouble on this particular stage. When we finally passed it, for our surprise, we had to play the game again... I remember screaming ''fuck this shit!'' and turned off the console haha. Now we look back and have a good laugh about it and how it actually is a rewarding and awesome game, it became one of our favorites. Took a while but we finally finished it
They should make the detainee's at Guantanamo bay play this. Hearing that song over and over when you die would definitely be a form of torture haha.
Played the hell out of this game weapons are slightly different in power its only when your armor is upgraded that their strength is increased if u got gold armor u could charge up for a special attack..except the crossbow its special is finding hidden chest...
Speaking of the chest they are trigger by certain jump patterns for each level. In certain areas.
Impressed guys that u made it i gray only armor and pure will power lol
Can't believe they were laughing at Hyper Mickey when Tall Nob was scrolling by.
The upgraded Flame is pretty good though. The special ability with the golden armor is realy awesome. Also I don't get the idea of not opening the chests. I mean you can avoid bad weapons and pick up armors, which not only increase the power of your weapon and gives you special abilitys, they also increase your life to a maximum of 5 hp (naked - normal armor - green armor - golden armor - shield)
Armor is not a health upgrade, you always have 2 hits max, A hit with any armor destroys it and reduced you to your boxers. The shield only blocks projectiles, and more often than not, you will be hit in a position where won't work and you just lose the armor.
There are no hit points in this game. You only have two hit points. One hit while wearing armor destroys your armor, and one hit without armor destroys you.
you're probably thinking about Ultimate Ghosts & Goblins for the PSP. in that version ( depending on difficulty) the upgraded armor would give you more health points. it's my favorite iteration of the series IMO. its still balls hard, but nowhere near these levels.
Jason Brown
you just said theres no hit points but theres two hit points.
Been watching James and co. for years. Thanks for the hundreds of hours of entertainment.
P.S. I've always been partial to the lance.
Fucking Firebrand, that's the name of the unkillable demon. He has his own games: Demon's Crest and Gargoyle 2. They are both very good.
Play them with Mike, James. This series are really entertaining when you play good games.
I think those enemies in Super GnG are called Red Arremer Ace. Firebrand is just a unique and stronger red arremer starring as the main character in those games you mentioned.
And I definitely agree that they should play Demon's crest.
Cool, thanks for the clarification. I really hope they play Demon's Crest too. Getting the secret ending is not an easy task by any means.
That devil is the biggest troll in video game history
You know I've been there, mostly these older games actully can't recall anything newer, where you swear the game is messing or you are just going crazy seeing things. But now that it's recorded the game messing with ya at the end with the chest spawns going crazy after hours of play.
Pretty sure that chest was triggered by him jumping in a certain spot. This was a common mechanic in a lot of old games. There were hidden powerups that would spawn if you jumped in a certain spot.
Jason Brown Pretty sure? Don't you mean 100'/. positive? I swear, I'm surprised they made it that far without learning how the chest spawns work.
Meta E.
No, I don't mean 100'/. positive. It's been a very long time since I've played this game.
Jason Brown What are you doing?! You poor thing, we must get you some SGnG before you wither away!!!
Meta E.
I still have a working copy of Contra III: The Alien Wars
I might be able to survive.
16:04 You can say the same thing about Bubble Bobble. If you complete the game by yourself you get told to restart and play with a friend to get the real ending. Annoyed me back in the day
Firebrand is the biggest troll ever.
18:01 If i have a bad day, i just watch that hyper mickey part and i start laughing :)
Holy shit, this experience gave me an ulcer. Way to stick with it guys!
Despite how frustrating this looks, these videos have somehow made me really want to try the game, lol
I know it's way too late, but when you double jump you make the chests come out. Also, to get the gold armor is just like getting the green; make an "Armor" chest appear. If you're naked, it'll give you a weapon. If you have on grey armor, it'll give you green. If you have green, then you'll get the GOLD armor which has specific charge powers. I think the arrow weapon with the gold charge makes all chests appear lol. Fun videos guys, more patience than myself!
Who names them self Hyper Mickey? XD
14:36 Never thought I'd see that happen in this game
Play gradius lifeforce 1943 so many classics still out there
Lol
James reaction to hyper Mickey was hilarious
It makes me cringe so much that you guys aren't even checking the chests anymore for the green and gold armour.
That "crazy, unpredictable" weapon is referred to as the "tri-blade".
You guys forgot to mention that you gotta beat the game twice AND keep the bracelet through the entire second run, lose it and it`s game over...
*****
you should not just only GET IT but KEEP IT all the way to the end...
i wasn´t complainig, just adding to the conversation...
Congratulations. You have beat Super Ghouls'n Ghosts. Now you're ready to play Dark Souls.
Fred Fuchs
i have no clue why i enjoy watching two people play old ass video games,but god help me,i do.
