Go find your game
Get to Star Road
Abuse the hell out of the feather cape to maximize easiness. Go back to the level they introduce it in and start + select to get out once you've double-stacked it
Beat star road till you backdoor into the last area.
Grab a blue yoshi from star road and get a new one each time you lose him.

There, now go and finish SMW, just to say you finally did it.

Ecco the Dolphin.

I've been stuck on WELCOME TO THE MACHINE for years. The level itself is no longer a problem; I can kill everything in it before it even shows up on screen. But I just don't have the patience to re-do a six minute auto scrolling level every single time I attempt to beat the queen.

>>1418328
That game is hard as fuck, no doubt, but don't give up, you can do it. I finally did it a couple years ago and a lot of it came down to trial and error and luck. By the end it was insane, but just memorize where all the score multipliers spawn and you can end a level with doing relatively few missions. Then just find which phones give the easiest ones and you're set.

Not sure I'll ever beat this. Everyone says it's one of the easiest in the series, but I don't know, the limited continues still frighten me and it's a fairly long game, not to mention having to do it twice. I'd be devastated if I got to the real final end and game over'd. I thought the NES one was cake though, which is what makes this even more frustrating.

I would practice on an emu using Savestates, grind out each level. Then try it out all the way through. I never found the game terribly interesting so I couldn't dedicate myself to memorizing it.

>> No.1421570

>>1421542
I thought the same thing too, but it is mostly just a rememberizer. I find Makaimura Rev G on arcade to be easier than Super, but my brain tells me that isn't really true, just that I have played Makaimura G much more than the other one. I have yet to 1CC Super, but after practicing it for a little while without having played it much in years (and when I used to play I was terrible) I reached the point where I could make it through the first set of stages, but I honestly got bored and didn't bother trying to truly beat the game with the two consecutive clears.

Personally, I found the easiest way to make it is to go as long as possible with arrows and regular silver armor, only upgrading to green and gold armor later in the game.

>> No.1421575

>>1421570
Also I should point out that I probably shamefulled it and used a continue or two, but nevertheless, I am fairly certain I could 1CC both loops if I practiced it for a month or something.

Overall I just found the game to not be as satisfying as the original, for whatever reason. The music and graphics just aren't as appealing, I guess, and that fucking raft segment in the second stage is so goddamn slow and boring that it makes me not even want to play it.

NES Punch-Out. Apparently it is actually impossible to beat using an emulator on an LCD screen because of the combined input lag and the need to such frame-by-frame precision. At least that's what this board told me a few months ago. Until I can get a legit copy I'm not even going to try anymore. I can never beat Soda.

I dunno mang, just what I heard. Seems true for me though because I absolutely cannot dodge this stuff late game. Maybe you can adapt to deal with it, but at the very least it's probably not the same timing as the NES one.

I thought the same thing when the game came out as well. I found it years later Zero is a faggot and then went back to finish it. I think on the original pal ps2 disc it was fucking glitched, fuel ran out quick as fuck. They fixed it on the greatest hits version though. Great game.
