I remember that as a kid, I rented Startropic often. Oh boy can I tell how frustrated I was the first time I finally made it to the whale only to be stuck because I lacked that code. Tried calling the video store, friends, etc but to no avail. I even tried to learn english back then in case I had missed the code through interacting with one of the NPCs. Internet didn’t exist for us. So for years I left it unfinished until it occured to me that I could just try every single frequency until I hit the proper one and managed to finish Startropics for the first time. By far the worst thing I experienced on a NES game.

It's true Zoda's Revenge was massively unappreciated. The game's music as a whole straight up slaps and to this day remains one of my favorites gameplay-wise and music-wise. I was fortunate enough to be old enough to play it for hours upon hours on end as a kid. With Indie devs and revivals abound I wouldn't be surprised if they remade it at some point or added onto the legacy. I'd be willing to pay for a team to do an overhaul of the first 2 games eventually.

Hey! StarTropics speedrunner here! Great guide! Just thought I'd pop in with some helpful info for the Mummu room that you said you hadn't been able to figure out yet. So the way it works is every Mummu *except* for the two that spawn at the bottom left and bottom right of the screen needs to be killed for the door to open. The two bottom ones can be left alone, so long as they don't get in your way. They usually end up forming a "conga line" though so killing them all tends to happen anyway. A good way to avoid those two is to go up upon entering the room and doing your best to keep track of two "duds" as best as you can while dispatching the others. Hard to do, even in a speedrun, so don't feel bad if you just end up having to kill them all.

I remember getting stuck after renting this game. The place in question was the spot where you stick in some sort of 3 lettered password. At the time no one had internet so I had to bet my uncle to use his copy of the game. At the time it was one of the very few games that had what the Japanese call an omaku(sp?) pack. Basically an extra pack. It consisted of a letter from your father that you run under water to reveal the code that you put in the game. I still remember it to this day I think, 747.

Sadly, the whole point of that code was because Nintendo was trying to kill the video game rental industry in the US. They got it illegalized in Japan, but they started adding blocks and dirty tricks to games that you needed the manuals for because they lost the lawsuit in the US. -- That's also why a bunch of our games are way harder.

At 48:50 the bird's song has musical references to singing notes using a relative scale. The notes are Do (pronounced Dough) Re (Rey) Mi Fa So La and Ti. In a key of C, this would start a C and go along the white keys on a keyboard to a full octave, minus one. So when the bird says 'Do Me' it's more like "Do, Mi' or C E. Do Me So Far is Do Mi So Fa or C, E, G, F. This is how you're supposed to know which keys to press in the following keyboard puzzle. As a kid I was proud of the fact that, as Cap would say, "I understood that reference!" since I was taking choir at the time.

Star Tropics was a very impressive technical achievement for an NES game. The amount of colors, complex graphics, mechanics, and dialogue they squeezed into that little cartridge was amazing for the state of the technology they were using. I appreciate that the game starts off right out of the gate with cheesy humor. C island (in the sea, and shaped like a C). Really sets the expectations of the player for what they're getting into.

I also loved the ending were you can talk to people and see all the effort you put in pay off! Many games just roll credits (usually after a cut scene after the final boss), but Star Tropics went further than that and it felt far more rewarding to finally finish a difficult game!

Thanks to this video, I have just finished Star Tropics! What an amazing but brutal game. I would have struggled with this even when I was a kid with lots of time and limited games. The ending is amazing... The screenshots give all the feels lol. Thanks again! My next one to finish will be Castlevania, but I am going to get Star Tropics 2, probably on Wii U virtual console if Nintendo persists in not bringing this to the Switch Online Service.

The spaceship music sounds just like the mountains stage in crystalis. Just slightly different beats.

Ahh Startropics, some of the catchiest music (and lease sensical high score counters) on the entire NES. And our friends in Japan never really got to play it. And the chances of a third game in the series? I remain pessimisticola. I'll … see myself out.

Just a quick note referring the stopwatch and gadflies: if a gadfly is charging you the watch will almost always slow them instead of freezing them in place.

My brother and I played this game back in the day, it was really something. The movement alone making things rough but gosh, quite the story up there with the Final Fantasy games and a bit of Zelda.

Compared to its sequel, which gives you free movement (sometimes, too free), I kind of respect the grid system more than I thought I would.

You really needed those Nintendo Power issues for this game. That is one of the reasons why StarTropics never really landed.

Yeah, I remember Nintendo Power really helping with the Ghost Tunnel. The room that looks like a dead end but you actually have to walk through the wall is very devious.
