Around 1 hour 37 minutes to beat. I used the built in save feature on the final stage only, to make my own checkpoints. Mainly for the two forms of the final boss. Since Ive beaten the NES version legit, for this version I allowed myself the use of states to put together this playthrough which will be used for the tutorial video with commentary. Save States are built into these E-Shop games on the Switch, so I consider them legit for these games.
Most deaths edited out, when no new progress was made. Also edited out all deaths on the bosses, so you will see my health replenish on some of those fights due to editing in the successful attempts. This was more of a playthrough to add a game to the Switch KILL LIST (even though its identical to the NES version), and to get footage for tutorial and review videos on the game for the channel.
In this tutorial I break down the strats I used. Check out my review of the game here:
