The C weapon does by far the most damage, and switching between two of them lets me effectively double the damage output.

That's the power of the crush missiles. Having double C and switching between the weapons while firing does the most damage in the game.

Dude could you let me know what finger setup you use on the controller? I've been using index and middle finger on fire and switch weapon, and thumb for jump. And then a slightly different setup for above view stages... but in both I still don't feel like I'm getting maximum output! What do you use?

Is there "female" testosterone?

[@Hurblat]

The hitbox of the character is smaller than the actual sprite when climbing on those rails, and I use this to get as close as possible without dying. You can verify this yourself by inching forward pixel by pixel until the sprites overlap. I updated the description for this video with an explanation of the fireball scenario. That should give you a better idea of what is going on. The fire on the ground can kill you, but not after that last rail. That's also easily verified.

[@ilikegameswithnopcplayersc6630]

Oh u were only 20sec from record still nice job:) PS what do u mean by hitbox im not a pro at this although I play it

It's because in the levels the 0th life is counted, which it isn't in the score screen. In the beginning when I go into the options screen it says 3 lives, but when stage 1 starts it says I have 2. If you look at how many lives I have at the end of a stage before the score screen and how many I have when the next stage starts, these will be the same. Hope it's clear!
