  I played this game while babysitting some kids in the 90s because they had a SNES. Unfortunately I taught them a few new  curse words because of this game.

  Ryu is genuinely one of the most legit best youtuber around.

  Playing the &quot;Novice&quot; level is a good way to get accustomed to Super R-Type, as you get to keep all power-ups after death, and you don&apos;t get nearly as many projectiles flying at you. You get a feel for the stage layouts, the obstacles in them, and powerup locations.<br><br><br><br>For anyone curious, the powerups in this game are:<br>S = Speed (as we saw)<br>Blue M = Regular Missiles (launched slightly forward and down)<br>Pink M = Homing Missiles<br>Rotating Sphere Thingy = Pits (1st above, 2nd below, shields you from most impacts, but don&apos;t block projectiles as well as the Pod. Not recommended against those falling critters in Stage 3, either.) <br><br>Blue Orb = Reflect Laser (3 bouncing beams straight forward and at 45-degree angles)<br>Purple Orb = Sky Attack Laser (Bubbles straight ahead)<br>Green Orb = Spread Beam (4 orange forward shots, slightly above and below your ship)<br>Yellow Orb = Ground Attack Laser (beams travel straight up and down, and travel along the floor and ceiling either forward or backward, dependent on your Pod&apos;s position)<br>Gray Orb = Shotgun Blast (Shot travels short-range, then explodes over a moderate area. First appears in Stage 4 :( )<br><br><br>1st orb of any color gives you the Pod, 2nd of any color gives you a weaker version of the corresponding color, 3rd gives a strong attack of that color.<br><br>Pressing A will detach or recall the Pod, making it easier to place behind you to defend against attacks from the rear.

  “Knowing EVERY enemy on the screen is the key to success”<br><br>10 seconds later after dying: I didn’t even see that guy!

  Ryu: &quot;How am I alive?&quot;<br><br>2 minutes later: &quot;Dude how am I alive right now??&quot;<br><br>Another 2 minutes later: &quot;HoW tHe HeCk Am I aLiVe???&quot;<br><br>...guess that truly IS an extraordinarily hard game 😅😂🤣 Thanks for the entertaining content as always Ryu ❤

  I really like this format when you play for a while and then you recap.

  Hmmm, I&apos;m having a really hard time finding your playthrough of Barbie&apos;s Dreamhouse Adventure.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4OTU0DACfGk&amp;t=1376">22:56</a> is thee funniest thing ever. The look of total disbelief - welcome to our world, this was the norm for our games back then. You had to be good or you didn&apos;t see the game&apos;s end. I forgot how graphically beautiful this game is.

  This was &quot;extraordinary hard&quot; to watch with him having the Force module stuck to the back of his R-type unit for half the game, even after figuring out how to switch it&apos;s attachment position.

  It&apos;s old school relentless with those restarts but you have the skills. The whole rtype &nbsp;series is tough and equally enjoyable.
