I had this game growing up for the genesis and could consistently beat it without dying. My average score was in the high 11 millions. Though I agree it was tough at first until I realized that I needed to memorize the obstacles.
Though this level was insane and I always had difficulty with it; it had THE best music of the game; better than stage 3 or 4's in my opinion. None of the other levels had a few hundred pillars and stalactites you could easily crash into along with the usual hundreds of enemies shooting. Am I right or wrong?
as a kid i could never get past this level, it was insanely hard. I always just hit the mountains or the pillars. You had to have the piloting skills of darth vader to complete it.
I've been trying like "F" to pass this stage; the farthest I've gotten was after you defeat that rogue chopper mini-boss!! Levels 1 & 3 were a f___ing cakewalk, compared to this mile-wide-a__ hell of a level!!
Yes, when I was attempting a run of this game without cheats, I could only complete the first level, when it came to this one, I kept crashing into the structures or got shot at. Which points out one of the major problems i have with this game: crap hit detection. All the sprites are basically like squares, so even if you think you've avoided it, just because it's a square sprite means you still hit it.

It is a matter of practice and precision, just like Punch Out.

My thoughts exactly--in most 3D simulations/shooters, the hit detections are legendary--JUST F___ING LEGENDARY, Man!!
What the 'F' was Sega thinking when they invented the square sprite system?
