Hello Friend Red:
Well yeah for a PB and for WR there is only Cave 1.
But you can think to what happens in an event like Best of NES and AGDQ, you need to have back up strats for the other 2 caves, and be prepare to get the estimate that is 25 minutes. So what I say is that there is no need to feel little sad if Technodrome is not in cave 1.
Well as for me, as for my experience, the secret of the Technodrome is that it is 50% - 50%. 50% for cave 1 and 2 (and then they put it random to you any of those 2 if you get it) and 50% for cave 3. So if I get cave 1 and 2 for me is positive, because it means I had the good start button at the end. (i put the exact moment ultra credits are gone).
I know you are gonna say that some guys searched the game ant other words and is ok, but for me, and for my experience, the real secret of the Technodrome is 50% 50%. I press the start button same time always and also I write in my notebook always if I get cave 1,2 and 3. and the majority goes to cave 1 and 2 with more than 70 gones and for cave 3 only like 20 iimes. Yes it depends one second before or after, but for the majority I get my cave 1 and 2, and that is why for me is 50% 50% in my experience.
Well Red you still have the wrong warp record, that is something nobody have done, my respects and congratulations for that. Have a nice day and hope to see you soon with your new PB.
This is my life right now in this game:
I got my best PB and time possible, and my final goal in this game. A solid 20:35 because the 14th place is the 20:38. I sorry I don't have a capture card to save it, but when I have the possibiliti I will try to beat that 20:38 in video, no problem.
Things I needed for that: (and I only tried 2 times, that is great for me)
My peace aprox: Area 1: 1:20 to 1:23 Sploosh: 2:45 to 2:50 aprox Area 2: 4:40 aprox Area 3: 10:15 to 10:25 aprox Area 4: 16 minutes exact, no second after Area 5 Cave 1 technodrome: 17:00 to 17:30 aprox Area 6/PB/WR for my person and for my goal: 20:35 (goal was to beat 20:38, because my best times was around 20:30 to 20:59 with cave 1 and good play, and was the nearest in leaderboard).
1.- Exact start button 2.- Good techniques and consistent 3.- No damage against Rocksteady 4.- No pizza of shame of Area 2 and kill that final Rock guy with 2 hits of Donatello 5.- Some speed boosts in the Hudson River DAM (near the Holland tunnel). I need to defuse a bomb with Skunky method (2:09 instead of 2:10). Also exact damage for my Raph (I kill Raph in Area 3). 6.- Little bit faster my Mecha Turtle fight (3 scrolls disguise form and 4 real form, but with left right technique 1 second faster) 7.- Good jump in the conveyors or the lava room of the Area 4. (that is the most dangerous jump in the game). 8.- Good and fast kill with Donatello special to Big Mousser, like 5 hits aprox. And killed like 1 mini mousser aprox. 9.- Excelent Technodrome fight for me (that is one of the things I haven't masterd totally for my route and gameplay). Killed the first missile shouter, then proceed to the eye with Donatello special, and receive little damage from a foot, that was totally clue, with out that maybe I can't PB). 10.- Finally 2 trys for ceilling glitch (the first ceiling glitch, not the WR ceiling glitch). Then solid and common style for the rest of technodrome.
Well thanks to all for your support, hope all of you get your PB's that you want in the games you are currently playing, nice greetings and have a good night.
Extra: I got in trainning the conveyor boost by luck 2 times, but that was all.
I got a new impressive PB:
My PB of today was 20:14. This is my best PB ever. Sorry I didn't have the tools to record it, I only have the photo in my cel of my timer. Still not a time to beat the powerful 13th place, but no problem, I only like to beath the 14th place with that 20:39.
Things I needed to do for this:
1.- Get the first weapon drop with Mike. 2.- Most of the speed boosts of DAM. Except the second one near to the bizzarre spinning thing, that is really hard. 3.- Raph to the minium to die in one hit against Robo and changed to Donatello for Area 3: Building 4, so the same Donatello killed faster the Giant Frog, avoided the second Giant Frog, didn't die with the Fire Freaks to Leonardo to get the scroll. (so that's one change less). 4.- Mike beated the fire freak with the boomerangs of Area 3: level 7, then I didn't recover Leo with the full pizza, neither Mike, the only one that received that pizza was Donatello. 5.- Then Leonardo killed Mecha Turtle in just 6 hits, no more, because of the damage boost, with my scrolls. This is the fastest posible Mecha Turtle death ever, so it give me a time of 10:00 minutes when I beated Mecha Turtle. 6.- Then the same Leo did the rope skips, the Spobble trick get the foot bandit sleep and the same Leo was going on until the next stopping point enemy Boomerang sub boss attacked, so Donatello beated. 7.- All the way to the Nes Master Fireworks with a peace of 13:14 aprox, that was impressive. Take it top route of lava room for safety, weapon drop was taken by Raph and that full pizza was for Donatello. 8.- Fast kill of Mecha Mousser except the start glitch that is impressive difficult to get, so i did the Donatello scroll special and beat it with 5 hits. 9.- Finally a good start button (this is harder to get in the real physical NES console), and got the damage from the Technodrome to get the Donatello boost for a quick kill to Technodroime guardian and hang on the damage of the foot soldier that is in the bottom of the conveyor wheel of the technodrome. 10.- Finally i did the first ceiling of the technodrome with Mike in 3 attempts, go all the way, Leo killed with last scrolls does boomerang guys before the last Mr. Invencibility turtle power, put the shitty weapon drop in the place for Leo. 11.- Finally Don was very secure of himself in the last corridor, didn't changed turtle when he only remained the final 7 scrolls needed for jetpack and Shredder. And gave some scrolls before Shredder take the floor Red style (no as powerful as his style).
So I got my PB of 20:14 My only goal is 20:38 for beat the 14th and estimate of 25 minutes always to have the official estimate for the game. With this strats is impossible to beat the 13th place, but no problem I am happy with this PB. That's all.
Good luck to top runners Whitman, Red and Skunky to get that 17:08 and also good luck to anybody's PB's., Thanks all for your support, really apreciete it, and enjoy the game.
I got a legendary 19:50 today, impressive. Really impressive, only little bit bad technodrome fight. Thanks for your support. Is a ton of time for my PB. Sorry I couldn't record it. But i hope soon I will have the tools to record it, and just to beat the 14th and maybe the 13th place will be excellent. No problem, with a physical NES console and the tools to record it I could have it some time that PB recorded, similar.
I did an impressive run, finally my retirement from this game, and the worst possible thing in video game history happened in the last last second :(. I don't know if it has happen to some of you guys:
Ouch that hurt me. That has happened to us before where he teleports behind you. Very good run though, with the exception of the beetle :)
FIRST PAGE OF TWITCH AND SPEEDRUN DOT COM AND ALL INTERNET;
Almost 17:59. Shredder teleported in last second, and my nose was in the right place, you can see that:
Little sad for that last second, it is the second time Shredder destroy an impressive pb for me.
Thanks for the support.
