19:58		Only one leaderboard available, which is for the Sky Palace (World 4-1) - due to RA's current coding limitations.
15 Jul 2017
0:05		i posted a comment on the Like An Angel cheevo. i need some EXTREME clarification on how to get this to be unlocked.
15 Jul 2017
0:13		You have to play the ENTIRE game (at least from the first world) with a feather for it to unlock. How much explanation do you need? You know the game loops on a password after beating it right? So you can always try again.
1 Jan 2018
19:19		Defeated Medusa without being harmed. Didnt pop.
1 Jan 2018
20:01		Your using the wrong md5
1 Jan 2018
20:11		It popped my 3rd time through before I faced Medusa. Doesnt make sense.
1 Jan 2018
20:37		Then what you are most likely experiencing is connectivity issues, which I really can't help you with. That achievement and the other you posted to were beta-tested many times over.
2 Jan 2018
2:17		I have played through the game twice purchasing a feather in 1-3 and made it to Sky Palace without losing it. For this cheevo requiring little explanation, why isn't it working?
2 Jan 2018
2:26		I'm sorry to hear that, but I've explained it already (too many times) This will also be the last time I will respond to this. Next time you play take a Twitch recording and send to an admin to prove this. In the meantime I will triple check.
4 Jan 2018
9:42		Same here. Medusa damageless popped one time before the fight. I also think the Feather achievement requires more clarification. Do you have to play from World 1 to Sky Palace without dying at all, or only without falling?
4 Jan 2018
12:31		Angel requires you not to fall (and lose a feather) there wouldn't be any challenge if you just bought a feather to the end of the game. Has nothing to do with dying & your pal has not clarified which MD5 he's using..I'm about to unlink the other 12
4 Jan 2018
14:37		i was asked about this cheevo after i gave extremely vivid details. you have to buy the Feather in the first shop when it's available in the game, and you CANNOT FALL IN ANY PIT AFTERWARD FOR THE REST OF THE GAME. it's that absurdly hard.

20:10		Below is a link to the manual for the achievements. It explains what a player needs to know to master the set. https://github.com/RetroAchievements/guides/wiki/Kid-Icarus-(NES)

0:14		I'm sorry but some of the decisions made in this set are just so idiotic. Having to get the EXACT score for the health upgrade is just stupid and unnecessarily forces someone to play the game how YOU want to play it. If you don't want people to use passwords make ACTUAL password protection instead of using a delta for the health status. Also I'm not even going to mention the absurdity of the "Like an Angel" achievement, seems like it was made for no other reason than to be hard and annoying...
5 Aug 2022
0:48		Hello! I honestly don't remember how those health achievements were done. I'll have to take a look, because they shouldn't behave like that. This is one of the older sets before the tool set was enhanced. Everything else you are saying is a projection of YOUR gameplay though lol, so I'm not even gonna go there.
5 Aug 2022
4:10		That is true, it is a projection of my gameplay. And honestly, I'm not even saying I'm unable to do it or that you should change it. It just isn't a good achievement, especially for a game literally focused on verticality.
5 Aug 2022
4:21		Everyone has their own opinion on how a set or a achievement is done, but there are clearly two types of players: the ones who grew up with the game looking for more of a challenge which utilizes the possibilities of difficulty vs the ones who want a breezy playthough on an older game that is overall not built for in-game saving.
5 Aug 2022
6:16		I think you should try and strike a balance between those two sides when making a set. A person shouldn't have to be a god a certain game in order to master it unless it's a subset or something
5 Aug 2022
7:47		This is my final comment on this subject, and I understand you’re fairly new around here: every set (especially 4th and 3rd generations) will and should have a balance between moderate difficulty, just completing the game and then will also have a smaller portion of the set dedicated to more difficulty/expert and experienced. Those experienced players deserve recognition. You can go back in the forums over the last 5 years and find tons of discussion on this, no one is ever going to have it 100% their way. And please do not flood the forum and game wall on asking for an easier set with save enabled, it’s not going to happen with this version.
5 Aug 2022
10:51		I understand that there should be hard achievements. I just think this one in particular as an idea it isn't all that unique or interesting to justify it being so hard.
Also I didn't "flood" the forum, I asked one time and admitted I was wrong but alright I refrain from doing that in the future.
