Star Fox 64 - Area 6 - 724 Hits

This level is the reason why I believe I have a shot at 3000 hits. Here I utilize some never before seen strategies and tricks to squeeze out an extra 10+ hits. My second half still needs work, as I missed a lot of hits. I could have had a 730+ with the checkpoint I had. I used savestates at the beginning and checkpoint in the level for unlimited retries, but no cheats were used for this video

[@krohn7master]

It took about 30 tries to get it, but the reason it took so many was because I was aiming for a 375 checkpoint. I bunch of the tries before were still awesome (366-370 range usually) so if I were to have done that on the console I wouldn't have retried. The second half took about 5-10 tries. Thanks the support dude :) This level is the biggest reason why I think 3000 hits isn't too far off for me, since Y only had 679 in his 3008 run

[@krohn7master]

To be totally honest I don't believe you got 712 either unless you were to show me a video haha

[@shinistrue]

KrohnIndustry get me on the 64 original sticks and I will show you I can get this with ease. I know every nook and cranny to this game. Lol I was a 64 freak and Star Fox was my fav game I have part 1 and 2 on SNES and when I got it on the 64 I went bananas! When I started achieving missions to get the medals, I wanted to get Star Fox with his Fathers Glasses so badly. Then I wanted to play on foot in multiplayer mode 4 players. So I played this game with extreme passion to the point I got impeccable at it. This is not a hard level. Especially with quick load of the A trigger.

[@Dubanx]

+shinistrue to be fair, you did exploit the charge shot bug for extra points. That's a ton of the points that most people didn't get.

[@krohn7master]

+Dubanx how is it a "bug" when Star Fox 64 3D explained how to do it, and it's back in Star Fox Zero? It's not a bug, it's part of the game

[@Dubanx]

+KrohnIndustry Perhaps you should look more closely. It's not that they can do an unguided charge shot. There is a bug that gives extra points when you kill enemies with an unguided charge shot. Kill 2 enemies get 3 points. Kill 3 enemies get 4 points. In fact you don't even need to kill enemies. If you hit a strong enemy with a charge shot a +1 appears and you get bonus points without killing anything. 0:40 He kills 8 enemies with 2 charge shots, and blasts a laser tower for a charge shot gaining 18 points instead of 12. 1:15 He repeatedly charge shots the missiles gaining +1 again and again and again without actually killing the missile. 1:45 You see him repeatedly get double points by charge shotting the enemies without lockon. Again at 2:35, 2:50, then he repeatedly shoots the battleships with charge shots to farm even more kills AFTER the turrets are dead. He abused the fuck out of that scoring bug, and for the record it was fixed in subsequent re-releases of the game.

[@Spartan640Fritz]

I have to ask you though, did you use a modified controller? I don't think i can charge a shot up that fast with a regular controller. (Wait, nevermind. I get it now. Charging the shot is fast, it takes extra time to lock on.)

I would've beaten hard mode through this route if one of my comrades didn't ram me and take out the hyper laser on venom. If i recall it was the teammate to the right that took off my right wing. I spend the remaining lives trying and failing to beat star wolf save for the very last life. Unfortunately andross finished me off. Now whenever i play the hard route the moment i reach venom i dive immediately to avoid that situation. It was utter crap to make it all the way to bvenom just for a teammate to ruin my hyper laser.

Somewhere out there, an asian kid is feverishly trying to beat this score, partly to uphold the reputation that asians are better at everything videogame related, and partly because his dad is standing over him with a bamboo stick threatening to beat him if he dare shames the family by not beating the score.

Unfortunately because of how Nintendo borked the controls of Star Fox Zero we will never get anything that comes close to this level of mastrery. You would need to hit the calibrate button more often than this guy shot lasers.

i always tried to get to Area 6 w/6+ bombs; there were some spots were a bomb would've gotten you a few more hits

[@Kreamations]

Insane trigger finger

[@krohn7master]

to be honest, I’m not tapping A fast at all. When you hold down A, you a shoot a quick “burst” before you begin the charged shot. You abuse this by holding A until the burst ends, releasing, then holding again, and repeat. It’s a rhythmic strategy if anything

[@Eltrotraw]

I never tried highscoring this game after I learned that you can exploit charge shots to get extra points of enemies like missiles or enemies that require multiple hits. Without that, I recall my highscore on this stage was somewhere around 500 points? The bigger surprise to me, was learning that you can destroy the boss' energy balls with bombs... though I'm not sure if the bomb on the last phase was mistimed?

[@krohn7master]

The scoring system in this game is by far my favorite out of any videogame I’ve ever played! Abusing the charge shot bonuses brings a whole other level of creativity and strategy to the game. you’re also right, the last bomb on the boss was mistimed. If you have extra bombs at that point in the level, it makes the boss fight much easier for the Hit+10

[@Eltrotraw]

@@krohn7master yeah, I'd always just mashed the hell out of my A button for the last phase, and I learned the hard way about missing the last cycle that way. Area 6 definitely becomes a lot more exciting with this stuff in mind. I remember abusing the brakes to really maximize my points too

If you have 713 hits before beating the boss, then how do you have 724 at the end, when you get +10 for beating it, where does the extra hit come from? Whatever, it's a fucking amazing gameplay!

[@cactosando]

The boss kill is worth 11 total. 1 for the hit, 10 bonus for being a boss.

[@phoxdesu]

Ultra late reply, but killing the boss counts as a hit - same with every enemy;any extra hits are added to the already existing hit that you would normally get - so therefore, the boss kill is 1 + the additional speedy +10 hits.

[@Caionintendo2]

To be honest, I succeed in destroying the ship on the top, to the right, only seldom. It seems that I'm not being able to destroy the ship with consistency because I can't be certain if my CUS on the enemy following Slippy is really going to hit him (otherwise Slippy kills about 5 enemies on the process, which would be even worse...). If I always hit that enemy, I would destroy that ship with much consistency... But you should try it on emulator.
