Controller run. Pretty sure this is the first time I managed a no miss run on normal. I don't recall doing that prior to this point.
Its been a while since I last did a run in this game. Guess the main thing I need to work on is avoid getting hit while I have the shield on. Guess the other thing is to try getting the no miss no bomb bonus. I was at least trying to prioritize the no miss bonus.
Picking up the blue powerup on stage 1 was kind of a minor setback. I guess if I was brave enough, I could try to do a run that focuses primarily on the blue powerups. I only recall 2 parts where the powerups don't change from blue. Also kind of forgot to change to the yellow weapon for the stage 3 boss.
Not entirely sure how the CO2 chips work. I think they work on some kind of timer, but I don't play the game enough to say for sure.
