Star Fox (SNES) - Fortuna 100% Score

This is version 1.2 of Star Fox, and the purpose of this video is to demonstrate that I can achieve a perfect score on Fortuna using the same strategy as I do in my full Level 3 100% Score run using the original version.

100% score is impossible to achieve in the original v1.0 of Star Fox due to a bug where the highest possible score is 87%. I've done some digging and found a few resources that confirm this. This video will also be proof since my attempts on the level are fairly consistent, so once I post my full v1.0 run, you'll be able to see that I am comparably the same on the stage, but only able to get 87%.

Here's the thread where I found version information (Sir VG's posts):

His posts:

#1) "I found a way to identify pretty much ANY Nintendo cart's version, with fairly good accuracy. On the cart somewhere, you'll see an imprint of 2 numbers, sometimes 2 numbers and a letter. This is a fairly accurate way to identify the version.

## - v1.0
##A - v1.1
##B - v1.2
##C - v1.3
etc."

#2) "What the actual number is isn't important. It's the presence or lack of a letter that determines the version...generally."

I also found a Q/A on GameFAQs that answered my burning question.

"Is it possible to get 100% on Fortuna?
There doesn't seem to be enough enemies for a perfect score. No matter how many I destroy, I can never seem to do better than 80-90%. Is there any strategy that would improve my performance in this particular stage?"

CranberryPSO answered:
"Yes, it's possible, but only on the fixed version of Star Fox. On the early versions there was a bug and you can't get higher than 87% or so. This version of the cartridge is the "old" style SNES cartridge. The newer cartridges, which have an indentation near the base, has the fixed version of Star Fox. If you can't get 100% on Fortuna no matter what you do, I'm betting you have the old SNES cartridge. Consider 87% to be a perfect score if you're on that version. If you can get your hands on the bug fixe cartridge, you'll be able to get 100% on Fortuna."
