This is kind of a shot in the dark, but do you know how to beat the second boss? The little green things he shoots do shitloads of damage, but if I try to jump over them I end up entangled in his tentacles and take damage anyway. Also, the boss just creeps forward until he takes up the entire area, which obviously kills me since I have nowhere safe to go.

Did this thread idea come from /vr/?
>>344780931It was the tankNow to actually play the game
>>344780738
It's hard to describe exactly, you can tell if you've played them both. In Super you start out feeling average strength and gradually get more powerful as you move on. The combat is more fluid. In the original you feel weak and stranded, you're just trying to survive and get by for the first half of the game. By the end of the original you feel about as powerful as the start of Super. It has a weird balance between running from enemies being viable to needing to grind enemies to get your missiles etc back. Even with high health you can die in seconds if you're not as careful. It's way more atmospheric and the upgrades are more things like being able to shoot at a reasonable range.

it's such an annoying game: the enemies are really small and is never clear when they hit you or you hit them.

Left's got two missile doors, while right's unexplored. I'll let you guys decide.
Can I go back a console, finish it and reroll next one?
>>344782927
Go left, try out your missiles. You'll get lost quickly if you leave a load of unifinished paths at once.
>>344782965

Namely, the power to jump really high (seriously, he jumps like screen and a half in the air) erasing every enemy and projectile from the screen.
Also the power to press turbo A to make him jump really low all the time, so he looks like a little girl strolling through a field, makes it way more enjoyable.

>>344785409
That's an awkward one to answer, partially because I'm pretty sure I dove right into the most tedious part of the game which requires me to play the character that barely has a jump at all, and partially because it's one of those things that's been supplanted by later games with better technology.
All in all it's so far a fun enough metroidvania, probably worth playing. But for an NES game, if you didn't have better RPGs to play elsewhere, it's fucking astounding. Insanely massive map, 16 different items that all have pretty significant actual uses, 4 different characters that all play differently and can use different items. In a lot of ways so far it legitimately feels like La Mulana without (or with far more simple) puzzles. I'd be surprised if this wasn't one of the chief examples of the MSX games that took inspiration from.
