#BlasterMaster

[@Djclyve]

The most DIFFICULT HAZARD in this game is that wall 2 module. It is so hard on level 8 not to kill yourself by wrapping around the platforms and hitting spikes. As a kid I would waste the entire day getting to the end, only to die hopelessly on that horrible level. I was only able to beat it recently with the aid of save states.

[@douglashudson4706]

Was recently playing through this again (been a long time since the last time I played through it) and you are completely correct. Wall clinging when you don't want to on level 8 is the worst. It's too bad the game didn't have an option to enable/disable those powerups.

[@Giffsen]

I remember as a kid when I played this game, I imagined Blaster Master being way more expanded and mysterious, almost like a movie. So crazy how kids' imagination works. Nice video btw man!

[@UCanBeatVideoGames]

Thanks, Giffsen! This game just feels MASSIVE, especially when I was a kid!

[@jeanpaulmichell7243]

I think that aspect of the game was the most alluring thing to me as a kid. Heck, I spent MONTHS exploring just the first 3 levels, combing every nook and cranny before eventually getting to the entrance to level 4. Perhaps it was because it took such time and effort that I'd feel such a sense of accomplishment when a new secret/passage was uncovered. Not unlike the first Zelda game.

[@finalcam1740]

[@MotherKojiro]

Those small enemies were tough. What I used to do was pop out of the tank and shoot them as Jason; the shots are lined up to hit them just right. You might take some damage, but Jason fully recovers his health every time he goes back into Sophia III. Bit of a renegade solution, but it worked well for me, especially with the mines.

[@riserjenkins811]

One thing you didn't mention. The grenade glitch works both ways. If you pause when the frog hits you with the tongue or one of the other bosses hit you you will keep taking damage as well.

[@paxhumana2015]

Unfortunately, in the second and third remakes of Blaster Master (or fourth if you consider it as a part of Super Planetary War Records: Metafight), the grenade glitch does not work, and, in Blaster Master Zero, some of the bosses are different, plus there are some more bosses in that game as well, and an additional Area, namely, Area 9.

[@jeanpaulmichell7243]

This is one of the greatest games of that era, though it never quite got the recognition. Still fun as heck to play today. I've only ever had one criticism: there really should have been a save/password system in place. The game is so long and difficult, a save feature was an obvious choice that was grossly over-looked.

[@andrewwolan4395]

Indeed. Unless you knew all of the tricks, trying to beat the game in one sitting was timing consuming. I typically got to level 5 and was worn out just getting there.

[@dinoflagella4185]

I remember making it to the Plutonium boss and defeating it on my last man with no more continues. I was so freaking happy thinking I had beaten the game. I freaked out when the Underworld boss appeared. I barely had any health left. I frantically raced around the room trying to avoid his whip. He moved so fast that I only lasted a minute. That was one of the biggest FUs I experienced in a game. Never picked up the game again.

[@davidschwab5045]

I've read that, originally, the Underworld Lord had its own stage after stage 8. The tank upgrade you got after beating the Plutonium Boss would let you drive on spikes, so there was an additional area with spikes you could then get to and go to Level 9. You can see the boss chamber itself changes between the fights. There's actually a sprite for the Spike upgrade in the game, but I don't think it works.

[@paxhumana2015]

@@UCanBeatVideoGames , there is also a third and fourth story to the game. The story in the Game Boy Color version of the game, which is called Blaster Master: Enemy Below, aside from some boss and enemy area changes, the story was the same. In the PS3, Wii, and Xbox 360 versions of the game, there was some sort of story that everything was being infected by viruses that turned them into mutated nightmares. However, in Blaster Master Zero, they combined all of the stories into essentially one main story, plus added things from Blaster Master 2, Blaster Master: Blasting Again, and lots of all new content in the Blaster Master Zero Trilogy as well. The ultimate ending in the Blaster Master Zero Trilogy, namely, the dual endings in Blaster Master Zero 3, are sad, regardless of which one you choose.

One of my favorite games of all time. I started playing it in the early 90's, my brother teaching me about the grenade glitch. It's funny what was changed to become Master Blaster from its original Japanese counterpart. It was a completely different story and they never updated the sprite for the main character at the end scene to be Jason for the NES release, which is why his hair is blue, and they just swapped out the other character for Fred. Not many games have that kind of situation and I'm glad this game was such a hit. It was such a vital part of my childhood. I still need to play the PS4 reboot.

[@theblazingdynamo7294]

@U Can Beat Video Games I got a special maneuver you should try out: try jumping but pause the game before you jump, (as jump animation starts Sofia lowers to the ground, pause at that moment) if you do this you will notice the Sofia is lower to the ground and will roll forward in the direction pressed (left - right) and continue going after the D - pad is released, while moving you can aim the turret and shoot backwards! be careful when doing this, it will last only a few seconds before the jump animation catches up and makes Sofia hop! PRO TIPS: when a turbo controller is available, always use one! I recommend an NES ADVANTAGE if playing on old hardware, or a WII pro controller if playing on the classic mini, if playing on the classic mini, there is a hidden turbo feature, press the button that you want to have "turbo'ed" and then press the select button and hold both for 1 second, turbo mode for that button is now active! (do the same process to turn off) be sure to turn off the turbo if using weapons with an ammo count! if you hold A (grenade) in the over head areas, you can lock position for shooting the gun! also if playing on the mini classic, any controller that has extra buttons (WII pro) will act as turbo buttons! BEST WEAPON IN THE GAME IS THE HOMMING MISSLES!!! BEST USED WHILE IN THE AIR WITH THE TURBO!!! AUTOMATIC SCREEN CLEAR!!! I hope you revisit some of the games you feature to show a few more tricks!

Fester's Quest punishes you for not upgrading your gun enough! Always remember the wave gun that was better than base gun but couldn't go through walls or anything really - forcing you to either maneuver for a better shot, frantically search for another gun upgrade drop, or take damage. While that's commonly known now, it absolutely sucked after renting the game and only having so long before it had to go back.

A play through of Gremlins 2 would be cool too!

[@Dziaji]

Say “Sofia the third tank” one more time. I dare you!

[@SovereignKnight74]

This is my all time favorite NES game. Music, Graphics, Gameplay. All memorable and quite well done.

[@jeanpaulmichell7243]

It's my personal favorite as well. It was the 3rd or 4rth nes game I owned, and out of all the incredible games I played after it (many classics) Blaster Master is still my #1.

[@MisterFarce]

An absolute gem of a game. I loved it as a kid, and it is still fun to replay.

[@retroshrine5962]

This channel should deserve so much visiblity and praise, the amount of work on these video is crazy.

[@UnwantedHighlightsChannel]

32:20 i never thought about it til now, if you fall off the top one after grabbing all the flashing H. do you soft lock your game?

[@laserfloyd]

Looking back on this I have no idea how I actually beat this as a kid. Oh right, zero responsibilities as a child _and_ actual 3 month summer breaks. God, I miss those days. Such a classic and with a killer soundtrack!

[@NorthenTasawwuf]

Another great video! The pause trick with the bosses kind of reminds me of a similar trick in Mega Man 1 :)

[@eldjibheryr3546]

gremlins 2 was one of my all time favorites

[@jeremyirish1574]

Thank you so much. My favorite NES game ever. Those are great tips for dealing with the bosses! BTW, how do you glitch back through Area 4 after 6 if you skip the Key? Jason surely can't make it to the Area 1 exit on his own.

[@Lastjustice]

You kill yourself to continue. When you continue you respawn with your tank. He mentions it in the video, so it costs you two continues to skip area 4.

[@MrColinMoriarty]

You have to burn a second continue while inside level 4.

Toxic waste conspicuously in his backyard...🤣

[@UCanBeatVideoGames]

🤣🤣🤣 Probably should do something about that!

[@khatharrmalkavian3306]

The problem with the thunder break is that you're using it wrong. Just as you were saying those words you passed over the skull bomber and went down to his level to shoot him with the cannon. TB goes through floors. It's very useful in area 3 where there are ceiling turrets on the undersides of platforms.

lmfao "Solar Fred" has go to be the best and worst boss name ever. Lke, SUPER non-threatening, but also, any frog who has the level of confidence required to roll with that name instead of changing it HAS to be a badass monster of a being.

[@UCanBeatVideoGames]

🤣 I mean it's frog the size of a car that pukes fireballs. Solar Fred would be terrifying IRL, his confidence would be astronomical.

[@paxhumana2015]

@@UCanBeatVideoGames , I could just summon the giant frog that Frog has from Chrono Trigger and curb stomp the boss that way.

[@B-Rad412]

one of my favorite games as a kid I was about 11.... pretty involved game really was way ahead of its time for nes... Cleverly made!... They need to remake this game for modern day era!! Love love the channel!!!!

[@drummaboi5879]

game blew my lil mind when i was 5or6

[@robertkify]

I love this channel, but god it drives me crazy that you keep calling it an "f" symbol when it is clearly a gun.

[@UCanBeatVideoGames]

Always looked like an F to me, but I guess its a gun

[@robertkify]

@@UCanBeatVideoGames sorry if that came off as kind rude. Loving the channel! Keep em coming.

[@ricauburn9553]

The "F" icon is a revolver handgun. The "F" is the cylinder :)

[@rustyjones7908]

Always wondered what I was looking at.

[@signaltome]

You know, I was not very old when this game first came out, and Japan was just a country "out there somewhere". I did not do well in geography. (Still don't tbh ;-) ) But today I think I'd prefer the anine intro story to the "oh no Fred ran away" silly plotline. It is not as if Fred lasted very long anyway! :-D
