The missiles fire off with either short or long intervals between launches. So then I proceed to forget to use this technique against the third soldier >_< Force of habit. I *could* just jump over the soldiers, but it requires precise timing. Obviously, it's faster to just skip them.īehold my first speed trick: hitting soldiers with an aerial strike! Usually when you shoot your head, Headdy has to stop moving, but not so with an aerial shot. The three doors I pass contain mini-games that teach you how to play and reward you with SBPs upon completion. This game, graciously, allows you to skip through the points tallying unlike most games. Occasionally the pattern of the balls forces me to take a hit in order to strike TB as fast as possible, but that wasn't the case this time. Not much to say about this fight, it's pretty simple.
Next is Trouble Bruin, a boss I've fought way too many times now. I do, however, snag any that are directly in my path and/or don't cost any time, such as the one on this level. Many of them are out of the way, some literally involve standing around doing nothing for a while. I do not attempt to collect all of the SBPs in the game during this run. This is as good a time as any to comment on secret bonus points (from here on referred to as SBPs). Destroying the robo-collector is unnecessary, it just rewards you with a secret bonus point. The spikes and robo-collector can't actually hurt you. Anywho, on with the run!Īuto-scrolling level until the end. Plus, I personally enjoy reading detailed comments, and I have a feeling I'm not the only one. I like to explain things as much as I can so it will be clear to those who haven't played the game before. I'll warn you in advance that my comments are rather long. I'm quite satisfied with the results, and I hope you will be too. I also spent a great deal of time practicing the bosses, optimizing the battles as much as I could. From the start, my top priority in this run was to complete the game with no deaths, as I knew this would be just as impressive, if not more so, than any speed tricks I could find. I would guess that many people who played the game have never actually beaten it. The game is well known for its difficulty in the later stages. Dynamite Headdy is one of my favorite games on the Sega Genesis, and one I am intimately familiar with I couldn't really think of a better choice for my first run. This is my first speed run, and definitely not my last. Available in three versions: low quality, normal quality, and 60fps high quality.
Speed run of Dynamite Headdy for Genesis done on September 29 2005.
