Nice Job with all the bosses. On the C-Serpent if you're good at jumping you can jump right over both Fire's that he spits out. I've done it every time I play and you can wail on him with the Yo-Yo. ((Or Island Star)) Soooo many more hits in on the snake than the fire.
It's cool. I also heard that if you can time it right, you can jump right up near the Cyclops' heads and pummel them. I haven't seen it done, or tried it yet, but I'm gonna give it a go on my current re-play through ((Not for my LP, but just personal))
im guessing you either played this religiously as a child or you have practiced on a PC with save states..or you are just really good at hard old games and don't die on the boss battles which take a long time to learn how to defeat properly. 90s kid or new age imposter!
@VZERO123 I grew up with this game too but I can't hardly get anywhere on it XD Legacy of the Wizard is harder though. I couldn't get very far on Zoda's Revenge either. :P
@VZERO123 spaceship stages.....? did I mention I was completely horrrrrrible at this game :P Is it in this one or in ZR that you go to Sherlock Holmes time? At least I think they incorporated him into one of them....but that was as far as I got on one of them. I really need to try and beat these now XD
You're gonna be shocked. My mom did a LEGIT NO DEATH RUN OF THE GAME! At the end, she cried on how hard it was and creating such a feat only I'd like to call her as. "The Startropics Queen". Ya better bow down to her awesomeness.
@TommittajaFIN I haven't played this in a long time but from what I remember you pause it and push Select. That will go to another menu with the snowman on it.
I loved playing this game. I bought it used at a garage sale, and halfway through there's a 3 digit code you have to put in to continue (which is in the manual). I didn't have the manual, and there wasn't internet at the time, so as a kid I just sat and entered every combination until I could continue. It was lame.
Hahah I remember that as well. I got the game second hand and didn't have the parchment letter that came with the code so I had to use the Nintendo code hotline which cost $2.99 per minute to get the code.
why would magma giant place himself in such a vulnerable point? I mean he is on a sinkable platform on top of his only weakness. water. What a dumbass.
ok then....lol i GUESS thats acceptable!! XD just as long as you didnt use the bat on tha octopus, im koo. but i never thought to freeze that damn thing while it was still near me....*facepalms*
I remember when I went against the Big Octopus. I beat it by just dodging and attacking. It wasn't till later I found out about freezing it. I was like >:|
This was one of my favorite games as a kid, but I was such a lousy gamer that I couldn't figure out where to go after the first boss or two, I didn't comprehend RPG's at all. I just loved the game for its artwork and enemies, especially the manual art of them. This is the first time I have ever seen the bosses past Magma Giant...I love the seashell monster, it's just bizarre! Hoodoo is also awesome, based on those weird artifacts.
lol hold on...i told someone else this earlier too..here
"let meclarify. i used the DVD Recorder to recored it from the Wii(yes it was VC) but in order for me to edit it and stuff i had use fraps to Record it from the computer by putting the DVD in...and when you record stuff on fraps anything that gets on the screen will be in it too....which is prolly why the mouse icon is there..."
Well, I didn't have time to watch the whole thing, but for the C-Serpent, if you jump OVER his fire blasts you can get a LOT more hits in and kill him faster! (That is, if you don't want to cheat! XD)
If I may, some clarification on the names of the bosses: 1: C-Serpent 2: Octo the Huge 3: Magma the Fierce 4: Maxie 5: Giant Turboss 6: Broken Joe 7 & 8: Hoodoo Doll 9: The Statues of Twin Sumocho 10: Jet-Pack Jumpers 11: The Jet-Pack Jumper 12: Osteroid 13: Zoda Head 14: Prime Invader Zoda All in all...not a bad run-through.
I'm so glad this game made it to the VC. Now a new generation can experience this game and the joys it brought me as a child. Brings back memories, and has inspired me to make a new video of this game. I shall start recording after posting this comment.
I always got the tar beat out of my at the magma boss, my grandmother and I would take turns playing, thats right, my grandmother, she would play super mario world 1 and 3 every morning for 4 hours, by the time I would wake up she had 1 beat and was in world 8 of 3, gave herself trigger thumb playing nintendo, she sticks to computer games now
I reminded me when I was kid. I got stuck on the place you have to give a 4 number code to your stupid robot friend.
It's been more than 10 years since I don't play it. I bet the battery of the cartridge is dead already. Old memories! Good times! I didn't know there was Star Tropics II. I'm gonna stop playing MGS4,CoD4,GTA4,DMC4 turn off my PS3 and go back to one of the best games ever made. !!!Let's play for a DS release!!!
let me clarify. i used the DVD Recorder to recored it from the Wii(yes it was VC) but in order for me to edit it and stuff i had use fraps to Record it from the computer by putting the DVD in...and when you record stuff on fraps anything that gets on the screen will be in it too....which is prolly why the mouse icon is there...
Well then again the margin of the screen is larger than an emulators. When I see vids of NES games recorded off the TV, there's usually a big boarder around the screen. So I guess so.
OK, right on. I haven't played this game in forever, I don't even remember a snowman lol. But I loved this game even though I never got past the graveyard. Thx for posting.
Littel trick I've learned about Zoad form 1, you only need to hit him four with anything times to kill him. However, each hit must be on a sperate appearance of his head. Basicaly, each time the head shows up, hit it once, then dodge. Repeat this 3 more times, and he will be dead on the fourth appearance of his head. I learned this trick from a StarTropics forum and yes, it works.
Ahh one of my favorite NES games ever. I played it a thousand times and watching you play makes me want to play it all over again! :D Good job with beating those bosses, a few of them give me a whole lot more trouble than they did you!
