In this tutorial I go indepth with the controls, earning permanent extra default lives and continues and try to cover all the subtleties of what I was doing and how I practiced and learned the game. Check my "practice sessions" playlist , easy mode playthrough, and failed full attempts in my "Failed Attempts In Active Playthroughs" playlist if you want to see most of the learning process and how I practice with save and load states to put a game like this together.

I also posted the raw version without commentary. This was the original write up for the non commentary version:

"This took around 8 hours and 52 minutes to clear on normal, based on my estimates. Im not sure I counted all the footage but I think thats everything.

Im also counting the 2 hours it took to beat easy mode with 99 continues available and 9 lives on each credit. I used maybe 36 continues to beat that. Atleast an hour plus was practice to learn the game while going through the mode. Im also including the final attempt. I will be posting up a commentary tutorial shortly, breaking down all the details. This is the raw run, unedited. Tough game.

I learned this over the course of several days. The tutorial version will cover how to beat the game but not how to get the better endings and the S rankings since I havent done that yet and will probably be done with the game for now. There are 2 extra levels you can unlock by getting high rankings.

Stay tuned !!"
