Boss deaths edited out, grinding and some aimless wandering at certain points.
I am not familiar with the game so there definately some unneeded backtracking in these videos.
I will post my final thoughts of the game in the last video. There are apparently passwords for each stage, however they may not work in this translated rom. From what Ive been reading. I just beat the game without using them. You are always given the opportunity to grind for continues. So if you die on ANY boss you should be able to kill weaker enemies to get your lives back. I can confirm this because I beat the game. Its basically unlimited continues, but you need to grind to get them.
This level I did alot of grinding to get my lives up but its edited out. If you look for it, you will find easy areas where you can kill and respawn enemies again and again. Theres a great area where you go through a door, two knights appear and you can walk around that room, kill them, and as you walk around the room they keep re appearing.
Ill post the grinding tech for this level in the next video. A brief video that shows the area and tech.
