NES Gradius - SingleLoop-1 World Record No-Miss (w/ commentary)
16-DISCLAIMER-
This is not the World Record for the High Score of the whole game.
This game features Loops, meaning you can gain infinite score. Hence why I did a run of only one loop for score (aka. singleloop)
So far no one else managed to get a score higher than 700k during singleloop. I've looked all over youtube, and I couldn't find it. But it's possible to get the score to over 800k during one loop. If you happen to have any questions about the run, feel free to comment.

-SCORING TIPS-
Auto-fire capsule:
Get 6 powerups so the "?" box is selected. Then, when the thousands digit of your score is a 0, get a 7th powerup and you will get auto fire until you lose a life.
10'000 point capsule:
Get 6 powerups so the "?" box is selected. Then, when the thousands digit of your score is a 5, get a 7th powerup and you will get 10,000 bonus points.
Secret 1-ups: Throughout the game there are areas that once running into them will grant you an additional life. The only rule to activating them is having the the thousands digit of your score even (0, 2, 4, 6, 8) while being in such area.
Secret 5000 point areas: Like with the secret 1-ups, you have to get into a special area to activate them, this time your score value doesn't matter, so those secrets are easy to find and activate.
