Yeah it's probably my favorite NES game, and one I've played since I was a child. I told myself for a long while that I've played it so much I could probably rescue the first Goonie blindfolded - to which I did! However, mapping out the rest of the game blindfolded is proving to be a tougher challenge than I anticipated lol

@@ThatPunkYT Oh, yeah, there's a few hidden doors on moving platforms. Good luck on that challenge ;)

Thankfully, none of those hidden doors are required for the Any% run! Still going to be nearly impossible to make happen either way! 😅

I was finding the unintentional fire to be annoying as well - I assumed it dealt damage to enemies in addition to the wand blast itself, but maybe I was mistaken? I do know there are a couple of items which may help me in this dungeon, and I think I missed the silver arrow in the dungeon which may be required to kill Ganon? I still have some exploring to do it seems.

@@ThatPunkYT It does deal damage to enemies, but then I run into it almost every time, haha.

I'm pretty sure my friends would rather see me test myself within the dungeon with its enemies and puzzles rather than mindlessly grinding enemies for bombs. Side note, this is the first point in my entire playthrough I've not done it blind, and from experience I can tell you that snipping some of the tedium from this game makes it infinitely more enjoyable for me.

@@ThatPunkYT Yeah, I hear ya. I'm just saying, that's basically what the Game Genie does.... sets and/or resets a number in RAM. I love seeing people abuse it, especially for arbitrary code execution in games.

Ah gotcha yeah, when I first read your comment to be honest I thought you were minimizing my attempts lol. Honestly I think it's pretty cool that I've learned JUST enough about coding to know how to figure that stuff out for myself. I tried to teach myself 6502 processing last year, but it was tough. It's something I might pick up again in the future though!

@@ThatPunkYT Yeah, I figured that, so I thought I'd clarify, haha. I learned some c64 assembly back in the early 90s so I feel ya. It's really neat to be able to poke around in the back end. I found the magical "interrupt" and wrote a simple routine that forced all the sprites to be double-sized. It worked with Impossible Mission but made the game unplayable, haha.

@@Sauvenil Hah thanks for clarifying, I appreciate it. Apologies if I came off strongly in my initial response. That's really cool you have some experience with coding too! I wonder if the older tech is harder or easier to manipulate. I would've loved to have been a fly on the wall when your character sprites doubled in size lol. If you like silly stuff, search on youtube for "Goonies 2 Hacker%" where I used manipulation and passwords to beat the game in around 40 seconds lol.

Hi there! I'm glad you found this video helpful, and the amount of information you've also been able to provide is wonderful! I'm going to have to find time to get in with the game again and try to do things as you've described, but I think I understand the picture you are painting. It seems like really quick inputs for someone like me, but maybe you will be able to make a world record with this! :D I'll check out your other video after this comment, thanks for your contributions as well!

@@ThatPunkYT I'm happy to contribute =D Yeah the inputs are kinda quick especially for the Slash spam. I almost tense all my arm to make it vibrate when I'm really trying but I don't know if it really has an effect since I can pull the trick with single Slash input (3 to be precise). I'll look to more consistency and if I find anything I'll come back to you so I can provide some way to pull the trick with ease! Take care!

Hey there! I'm happy you've been enjoying the game! Ok so I did a little bit of quick research through youtube playthroughs and google, but I can't find the answer you're looking for. Here's my suggestions though: Look for the answer on Reddit on one of the many Sega Saturn subreddits. Visit the Discord server for the game and ask people there for help. On this Speedrun.com page, there is a link to their Discord server you can join and ask the community members there! It's been ages since I've completed a campaign in this, and my first inclination is that you either have to wait a couple of turns for something to happen in the "domestics" section, or that you have to beat him with a different monarch. Here is the link to the Speedrun.com page with a link to the Discord at the top. Let me know of any updates and I'll help in whatever way I can! Best of luck! www.speedrun.com/dragon_force/forums

@@ThatPunkYT okay, cool! I’ll take a look. Thanks for the resources!!

You're welcome, good luck, and if you remember, let me know how it all goes! 😁🫡

@@ThatPunkYTwell, I’ve moved past the Zannon issue. Basically I just beat up on him until Goldark appeared and challenged Wein. Then as I went out to the shrines he appears again and joins when you beat him. Zannon can’t be beat till you get the special sword from collecting the shrine items. Then you have to fight Katmando who has been terrorizing your army. After that I finally killed Zannon. Then you are prompted to meat up at Bloodly castle with all your generals. I’ve done that but now I’m just waiting to be told it’s time to progress to the end game mountain as random ass dragons attack everyone else lol. I’m close to the end! Looking forward to see how this plays out!

Hey, congrats! I'm glad you found the answer you needed... because I was helpless to provide any further assistance lol. Boy, Katmando was quite the enemy huh? That addition really flustered me and my friend who were playing it at the time lol. Samurai absolutely decimate dragons, so make sure you have a bunch of those to tackle the onslaught of dragons coming at the end of the game! Good luck with the final push! :D

@@kumo860 You're welcome! This is my favorite RPG, and this dungeon is what inspired me to make this guide. It's so confusing haha. Glad you're enjoying!

@@raymondlehman5548 my pleasure, I'm happy to help keep music lost to time alive. I've loved this album for years. The members of the band were all really cool peeps as well. Glad you're enjoying it! 🤘

@@ThatPunkYT Oh I'm enjoying it and then some; I physically cannot get enough of CTS. They are cool! Very humble and always happy to share and grow music with fans and other artists.

@@raymondlehman5548 Yeah we grew up in somewhat loosely connected friend groups and I can attest to them being cool dudes. Better download this album and make it physical while you can, you never know when digital media will disappear \m/

Yo happy to help! Enjoy! This is why I post the music that's lost to time... it's not lost anymore 🤘

@@ThatPunkYT you fucking ROCK OUT LOUD for this bro!! Hell yes! A million times thank you 🙏 🤘🤘

@@M3TVROC You're welcome again, dude! And if you were wondering, these guys were all cool dudes. They put on a good show and were fun peeps to chill with.

@ThatPunkYT I was at a house party for a friend of mine named Nick back in 2005, they came to perform at his house, I was a sophomore in high school, I'll never forget that party, so these songs were etched in my head.. we all received a demo CD from that party and I lost mine.. and no one else that I could contact to get ahold of the CD was around

@@M3TVROC Ahhh house party shows were the best back in the day. I can't imagine being a homeowner now though and allowing it lmao. If you're talking about NIck Tombs then there's a chance I was at that party, unless I'm misremembering things. It's been a crazy ride since lmao.

Me too, it's my favorite RPG hands-down. Currently I'm playing through a hard mode Mod that injects a LOT of new life into it. Check it out here if you're interested! forums.shiningforcecentral.com/viewtopic.php?t=50055

@@ThatPunkYT hell yes, thank you! I’m trying to play through a lot of Saturn games this past year, so I’ll definitely download this and put it on my ode for when that day does come. It really was a very cool experience. I think I liked SF3 more in total, but this is literally the first first person dungeon crawler I’ve ever played outside of part of shining in the darkness and it totally hooked me. It’s funny how some characters would go from useless to pulling ahead of everybody else with just one magic or weapon upgrade. All of a sudden by the end of game Akane became my mvp after getting that weapon that one shots so many enemies and getting prayer level 3.

@@opaljk4835 Yeah I rented SitD as a kid and loved the style, but the difficulty trounced me. That's why when I saw this game on the shelf I grabbed it immediately, looking to right a wrong I suppose. Like I said, I can't recommend the Mod enough, and I'd also recommend you play the translation of Dragon Force 2 if you haven't, it's quite good. Also yeah, funny how that happens with Akane at the end or Doyle when he gets his Mithril Claw. Fun thing: me and my friend found this claw from the Blacksmith on our first opportunity, without knowing it existed. Going into battle and critical hitting everything just blew our minds lol.

@@ThatPunkYT I started Dragon Force 1 but it’s a bit daunting. I saw you have some vids on it, so hopefully that’ll be enough to get me going!

@@opaljk4835 Yeah it *can* be a bit daunting, it's probably best to pick Tieris on a first playthrough as her campaign is the easiest to get through - and if you're ever just wanting to blaze through it just use the debug code you can find on Gamefaqs or whatever (this code, I have burned into my brain forever lol). Man I forget sometimes that I have 4 year old videos when I was just starting to post stuff on here lol. They can be a bit slow, pace-wise, but I think skipping through the DF1 and DF2 reviews will give a good look at both games.

You're welcome! I just couldn't let this mechanic be a mystery any longer lol. Nice runs of your own btw! Hoping to get my own done at some point too!

Haha thank you! Yeah I'm not sure *why* it triggers, more that I just know *how* to trigger it occasionally. I believe this saves time on every level but for one, so if someone could get this reliably they could take a few seconds off a pretty optimized WR! Maybe that person will be me... who knows? :D

@@ThatPunkYT Nice! Hopefully one day it can be figured out, and also used in real time speedruns. :D

@@superhc0 Yeah I'm currently pushing buttons to see if I can get it to happen when I don't isolate with save states. So far... no luck. It might take a more skilled player than myself to pull it off!

Stupid? I almost DIED creating this! 😭🤣

For entire concerts, no less. I've seen them live and most of it melted off hallway through lol

Oh I was born into this era. Games like these are the main reason Game Genie was invented lol. This is fun tho, I could def return to it.

Do you mean Mr. Gimmick? I just checked and it looks like a fun time, I'll def check it out! I'd like to keep this series for games that are quick to jump in and out of, or start up relatively quickly, so I'd imagine something like Fallout or any RPG-esque games is probably not best to cover here.

Id reach out to doc the funk dox

Nah I don't wanna reach out for that, I can probably solve the problem with a little more time. I mean hell, it's just a patch of an NES game, I can figure that out with a 2nd attempt. The only odd thing is that after patching it, it gets patched as a Super NES file... so if I can figure out why it's doing that I'll be set.

Yeah honestly I think that person might've been a plant, or the dev, or just a very passionate and misunderstood the individual. May we all ascribe to stay on Xander's good side.

Despite the lack of everyone having a "Naruto run," yeah this was made in Unity lol

Maybe that particular dagger was special to him. Your run of the mill store just ain't gonna be able to replicate it. Maybe it was his grandfather's or something 😅

Haha well actually, if I'm not mistaken, I had to rename this TO Ashzel Power Dagger rite? So it actually makes even LESS sense lmao. Thanks again for the recommendation, I hope you enjoyed the show!

Haha glad I could throw another game into the mix for you! Olympic style games like this are always a crap shoot, I'm surprised I was able to make anything happen at all! I could def throw a boot further in real life! 😅👢

You mean a game where every character Naruto runs has some jank in it? Why I never! Gonna watch your super move comp later!

Yoooo that's a great suggestion, and I've never played it. Bet, I'll do it for next week! Now all day I'm gonna be hearing Jack Black in my head singing "Holy Diver" by Dio, thanks for that :D

Thank you, friend! I thought a good strat would be utilizing his high fireball so it doesn't collide like Jin's does, and it kinda worked! I also realized that about taking Zen's fireball, but to be fair, every hit point closer to death reduces the countdown at the end. So I guess it might have helped either way lol.

Haha yeah I'd question the friendship with whoever suggested it. I wanted to see what the wolf power was, but I just couldn't stand it any longer lmao

Yeaaa it's got some good to it... but not much lol. I'd really hope that every enemy in the game isn't just some slightly different variation on an Asian vampire with a Santa Claus belly 🧛‍♀🎅

@@ThatPunkYT Yeah I hope so too, I'd rather the whole game not just be you vs an army of fat Titi's.

Straight up you need to give me a fucking alter-life where I'm not working 40-50 hours a week lmfao. I AM attempting to slowly piece together a blindfolded Goonies 2 run, check it out in my playlist!

Surprised you've never seen this one! Yeah it's VERY cool, nice mobility and attacks feel great. I played Run Saber a few months ago in this series and it was also, VERY cool. I'd def recommend you to check 'em out, I know you won't regret it lol.

Mudvayne - Dig

Mar-Mar-Mar-MARTIAL CHAMPION!

Hah yeah that went much worse than anticipated! I want to see more of this game though, so I might give it another go at some point too lol. Def would love to see you give it your best shot!

Yeah, I "dig" them a lot too ;). Their album L.D. 50 has to be one of the best to come from that era, cover to cover.

Try Dark Souls

Yuup glad I could finally play this too, thanks for the suggestion! Maybe my next attempt will take us past level 1 lmao

Yeaaa they def made this in order to rob quarters from your pocket, that's for sure! Oh I actually HAVE played Castlevania Rebirth recently and beat it on easy, REALLY great game, I'd recommend it to you as well :D

Yuuup Monster Maulers is the one I was thinking of! I'm def gonna check that out, already grabbed Red Earth and MM Power Battle... didn't know there was a sequel tho! :D

This reminds me of Guardian Heroes as well

@@mohastgridlock Idk man, that's kind of a lot for me to learn, ngl. Maybe one day, but not in the near future. I can't believe u just mentioned Guardian Heroes. I can TOTALLY see the similarities in the character design.

Yeah this game is very cool, though the screen flashes can be a bit much at times lol. Mega Man Power Battles looks sick! I'll check that out! Also, I remembered the name of the other game I was thinking of, "Monster Maulers." I'll check that out soon too!

I can understand the confusion, I had to review my own playthrough to remember what this was called lol. Ninja games in the 90's had names that were like, completely interchangeable with one another. I would imagine this game is fun co-op, I heard you can ride on the animal transformations if you're in human form.

Thank you, my friend! Can't forget that you inspired this crazy challenge as well! 🫡🫡🫡 One day it'll happen... 🏍️

Non-brrnary

I'm sorry, I don't have the skills for that lol

@@ThatPunkYT i wish you have skill for that

@@ThatPunkYT so me and my friend laugh

2012 didn't have this, so I don't see how that's possible 👿
