That's it. Up canceling slides. In addition to the expected methods of slide canceling (back canceling and jumping out of slides), you can cancel slides with the up button. There are a few places this is useful throughout the run, though it is also almost req...

Most text in this game can be mashed forward with any button, including the D-pad (up/down/left/right). As such an effective way of advancing text is to spin your thumb around the D-pad. Leaving the Shop Since the D-pad advances text, you can mash left/right...

The first few screens are on the top of a rising and falling sub. There are 2 helicopter enemies with 9 HP each, which is the focus of moving through this screen quickly. The strats for this screen rely on being able to follow the rise and fall of the sub. Yo...

This game has an opening Cutscene you can press start through. Most game timing allows soft resetting before timing, as the cutscene will not play on a soft reset. The stage select only respects left and right presses. Both screens of 4 start you in the top l...

Movement Patterns Mercury has two ways of moving across the room that depend on his remaining HP. As a note, a full meter has 19 HP. Even - slow hopping across the room Odd - the fast slide across the room Buster Fight In Mercury's stage, you fight with t...
