I played this as a kid growing up with my brother and we always thought it was a blast.

This run can be improved by at least 5 seconds easily with the same strats.

Tank sword+charge is slower than the wheel "fist" attack for the first form, but a bit faster and waaaaay more reliable on the second form after the initial robot blows up.

UFO might actually be the fastest if you get an enemy team that approaches you quickly, as you can just mash the levitate attack.

Tank charge spam is also faster, but seems to be RNG. Could shave off maybe 10 seconds just by using only the charge attack, but I kept getting randomly hit out of it in all phases and didn't want to spend more than an hour or so on runs of this.

Much thanks to Toad for reminding me this game exists, I had forgotten all about it.

Used FCEUX 2.1.4a
