Easily one of the hardest, most unforgiving games on the system. The worst is the frequent slow-down, that suddenly ”released” into normal game speed and catching me off.guard and throwing off my flow. I never beat this game on higher than Normal. If I actually HAD beaten in on Hard only to find out I had to do an even higher difficulty level before I could see the full ending, I would probably had thrown the cartridge out the window. We're talking high levels of frustration here people. Other than that, its a an absolutely beautiful, almost sublime game. It was the first SNES game i ever bought (discounting Super Mario World that was included with the console). I remember trying it in the store and was amazed by not only the crisp graphics but also the music. Was used to Sega Genesis’ crapass tincan hamradio sound quality and was totally blown away when the guy raised the volume on their sound system and the whole game store was electrified by crystal clear rhythms of slapbase and symph-hits. I just opened neon-colored nylon wallet ('cause it was 1991 and I was 15) and handed him my money. I had to have this game, had to be part of this amazing new "thing". LOL. Awesome memories from a now close to middle aged guy. Still have the ripped OST in my playlist.
I actually find the slowdowns very helpful, because they actually give you much more time to react to all the crap on the screen. It would've been almost impossible if there were no slowdowns at all anywhere.
I envy you man, I was only 4 in 1991, I discovered this game around 1999 , but also only played on normal, I not really a masochistic type XD. But the music still rocks...
when I was younger, I played this game once a week, every time we visited my grandma, because my uncle always brought his SNES (I did not have one). Took me a couple of years of playing for a couple of ours but one day, and one day only, I could beat it on Pro. Those were good times when beating a game required skill and hard work :')
I completed pulstar from neo geo. Almost 50 minutes of no miss playthrough. I realize this game is worst. But practically the same hell than the another, due the lack of upgrades. Even with checkpoints after dying. Two loops? Wow man! You are my hero!.
Thanks for the comments! When I was clearing all of the SNES shmups on the highest difficulty I found Super R-Type to be the hardest. Dying in the last 2 stages of the second loop is the worst, pretty much unrecoverable at that point. Good luck!
Stages 1, 4, and 6 are original to Super R-Type. Stages 2, 3, 5, and 7 were borrowed from R-Type II. The song titles of each stage are: Stage 1 "Solo Sortie" Stage 2 "Counterattack '91" Stage 3 "As Wet as a Fish" Stage 4 "Submerging Tital" Stage 5 "Dream of Labyrinth" Stage 6 "R-Dance" Stage 7 "National Anthem of Bydo Empire"
@@Despatche but these titles are mentioned during the credits, check @56:30 Either these titles are legitimate or atleast these have existed ever since this game was translated into English.
I'm a firm believer now anything this possible i remember playing this hard ass game back in 95 i got it from a friend of mind i put this in super nes thinking i gotta dope space shooter man i played the first level to the 3rd level this game give me nightmare's and i never bet this game to this day .... I thank you for this video
I just 1CC'd R-Type final 2. After seeing this video again, I see that Final 2 is cake walk in comparison to this. I don't think I'd ever have the mental capacity to do this game lol.
This game were a torment for me, even an a kind of a exorcisim for my self. My Demon even they cryed a lot. But you are a true hero. This game is too easy after all? NOOOOOOO !!!!!
There is beating a game by continuing, but there is conquering a game when you can do it in one credit. That sense of accomplishment isn't the same if continues are abused, it's there, but doesn't feel quite as exhilarating as 1 crediting or 1 life-ing a shmup or any difficult old school game. I remember doing it years ago on Gradius 3 SNES, I had beaten the game before in a few credits, felt good, but when I finally did it in a continue, it felt almost orgasmic. I had finally conquered a game that many times beat me up and spit me out till I learned it (happened with Bayou Billy too, a notoriously difficult game on NES). As for this game, it always put me to shame, even more so with R-Type 3, I own both and should practice on both, but time is not much of an option I have these days despite the fact I continue to gather more and more old games in my game collection (legit games, don't count ROMS, which I have many, unless it's something off PSN or VC). Got R-Type 3 in the nick of time, a copy of it was $10 when I bought it, it's way more now.
Try playing Stage 7 on Hard _without_ any additional powerups from earlier stages. You need exceptional skills to be able to pull that off. This is what almost everyone will have to go through, since they _will_ die on Stage 7.
I've done that after losing on the final boss (pro difficulty), the spider enemies have very specific spawn points and directions of movement so with the right positioning it's possible to recover and save a "run" just barely.
I am currently playing this game for the first time, and on Hard mode, lol. I have struggled for days and I have been able to make it to the boss on stage 4, although I always die there. But the stage itself is very easy (at least compared to stage 3), so I can make it to him without any problems.
@@Peter_1986Stage 3 here is nothing compared to stage 2 in OG R-Type II. Pretty much all of the levels and bosses in OG R-Type II (with the exception of the first stage, fourth stage and final stage in OG) are way harder but at least have checkpoints, lol.
Cool and nice skills! However, the boss health balance seems all out of whack. These guys melted before they could show off their moves. lol I feel like they went overboard with it in the opposite direction in R-Type 3.
I recently beat this game and I share your sentiment. Never played a game more rage inducing after GnG series. I wanted to ask, can you recover after dying in stage 6? I never recover after dying in that stage because the power-ups placement is especially cruel.
The last couple stages in this game are absolutely ridiculous if you play on Hard mode. There are so many enemies and projectiles everywhere that it becomes more of a test of your reflexes than about learning strategies for each section.
@@joeygonzo I managed to make it to the last stage on Hard Mode a while ago, but each individual stage took several days to beat. I never really beat the final stage, though.
Interesting, I wonder if that will make it easier or harder. Honestly the slowdown "slingshots" are one of the big reasons you get killed in this game.
Another great SNES shmup run. I only 2ALL this one starting on normal setting...Pro mode is really impressive. Great f***ing skills as usual ! now, R-Type III ?
TBYVGS BOS Thanks dude, this one really took a lot out of me, took several weeks with many, many failed runs on loop 2 stage 6 & 7. I'm currently playing Biometal, then I will probably go on to R-Type III.
Damn man you are a shump god, i'm sure if I look at your channel it's already finished every snes shump. Do you take requests or no? And yeah super r type is a game I just can't get by. It took me 3-4 hours just to beat r type 3 (mainly because of that stupid spinning boss and lazer maze).
I've done 1CC for every SNES shmup released in the US. All the videos are on this channel. I've thought about taking requests but my time is very limited right now so it might be hard to get to them. What did you have in mind?
do you have a saturn console? or emulator? theres a decent amount of good shmups on that. the cho aniki games are interesting. but if you have limited time lately dont worry too much about it
That sounds strange for me... I have lived in Spain always and my aunt had the game and I could continue in stage 5 as 6 as much as I wished. At least in novice difficulty.
Snes graphics are so crusty compared to real arcade versions in this that era. I'm not sure if this has a HD version, not coming up in a search, Super R Type is a partial version of R Type 2. Music is great though.
If there were no cheats how was the Stage 6 boss able to fly through you without you dying? Impressive run, no doubt. With an asterisk next to it. Pretty sus
bueno Gracias por subir. nuestros bellos tiempos del Nintendo el Wii es Gay. las nuevas consolas total mente desechables. gracias por subir estas escenas.
A great game, but a bit of a let down technically given the power of the SNES. Early on in the console's life, I suppose. But sprite flicker and slowdown that often (with so little on screen) is something you'd expect on the NES
I consider slowdowns to be an advantage, because they generally happen when you are swarmed by enemies and projectiles, which gives you a better chance to react to everything. It's kind of like having Smart Slow-Motion activated in "Perfect Dark" for the N64.
The top left corner is a safe spot, even though the sprite overlaps, the hitbox of the ship does not actually collide. Also, none of my runs are cheated.
Very cool game and very well played. Shame the console (and the emulators) slow down so much when there is a lot on screen, this game would have been even better without that!
nvm i googled it. players avoid picking up too many speed boosts because the ship gets too hard to maneuver in cramped spaces; most players opt to get 2 or 3 boosts only.
The lag is honestly extremely helpful. I don't know why people find it so annoying, it literally gives you several extra seconds to react to all the bullshit.
@@Bloodreign1 nope it is bland. and your logic fails -- it may be a combination of games, but that doesn't mean the end result is any good. the colors and graphics are bland.
Some people complained about the slow down in this game. Bro, that's what kept you alive xD
Those slow downs saved me so many times
As someone who spent enough time in the game to beat it, I can't agree enough with you.
Oh my god, this game used to give me nightmares in my sleep on some of those stages. You made it look very easy. Awesome job!

That's truly insane... how you did this I really have no idea... and I watched the video! This game is very hard, even on the low difficulty level.
The slowdowns actually helped his game. Was one of my first Super Nintendo games which I still have.

It was either a stock controller or the snes ascii pad, I don't remember exactly.
