Steel Diver Speedrun Divisions

In Steel Diver, for the Nintendo 3DS, there are 3 different submarines. The ND-01 “Manatee '' is a smaller, more maneuverable submarine, captained by Luc Fisher, that can fire a torpedo forward, and upward. It does not have a tilt-wheel. It has a length of 19.0 meters, a beam of 2.7 meters, 1,800 horsepower, and an 11 man crew. The ND-03 “BlueShark” is a mid-sized submarine, captained by Ben Triton, that has a tilt-wheel, and can fire two torpedoes forward. It has a length of 28.0 meters, a beam of 3.4 meters, 2,900 horsepower, and a 24 man crew. The ND-05 “Serpent” is a large, and powerful submarine, captained by Dante Cruz. The ND-05 can fire 4 torpedoes forward, and has an extended tilt-wheel. It has a length of 38.0 meters, a beam of 4.9 meters, 4,000 horsepower, and a 40 man crew.

        When speed running Steel Diver, for the Nintendo 3DS, you can do four types of runs. 
The first run is called the ND-01 run. As the name implies, it is a speed run where the player only uses the ND-01 “Manatee”. The ND-03 run is a speed run where the player only uses the ND-03 “BlueShark”, which is captained by Ben Triton. The ND-05 run is a speed run where the player only uses the ND-05 “Serpent”. In Steel Diver, for the Nintendo 3DS, to advance to the final 2 missions, the player must complete every mission with all three submarines, so a save with all of the missions completed must be loaded at the start of the run, if they decide to do a single-sub run.  The final type of run is an 09 run (ND-01 + ND-03 + ND-05), where the player finished the game, using all 3 submarines. No save states required.


Mods note (agent_ex_y_z): The leaderboards have changed to and easier way of organizing things, My guess is that you clicked on this guide to find out which boat is the fastest, it is the ND-05 Serpent boat, aka the third boat. Thanks for reading!
