After you have defeat the big ghost, you must go in left room and there you can find the last mini ghost.

"Watch your step" was ridic. I think that was luck.
SYKEKO 31 Jan 2021 17:22
Such a great game, each world has something new.

One of the greatest I have ever played ...

Mastered! Underrated game, definitely worth playing
CristianNicolai 24 Jul 2021 03:40
Mastered, thx for the set.
BloodiestCODY 29 May 2022 19:22
being able to find rom that works with both Retro Arch and This site is a pain...
groff16 14 Jul 2022 03:47
Try using USA(Roms) it works most of the time. But another thing you can try is switching to different cores as well.
Deansrule 3 Nov 2022 19:40
Mastered! So many great memories of this growing up, calling NiN power for the code to the sub because of no manual lol.
***Warning*** don't keep hitting Zoda at the end once he's beat, this will skip the final scene and the cheevos won't pop. I found this out the hard way and had to beat him twice! Good luck folks, I'm off to play the sequel.

First timer, loved it! and the set: cheff kiss! thanks for the fun set PhilInTheBlanks! 11:44 playtime. Hardest cheevo for me: Watch Your Step. Galactic Domination was surprisingly easy. Heading for Zoda's Revenge now :D RUN, RUN! HURRY, HURRY!
PranHunter 17 Nov 2023 02:27
After 8 years, finally mastered, of course I gave up and didn't play for a long time, I felt the urge to play and finish this work of art that is so important in my life,
Thanks for all the tips, thanks to the user HippopotamusRex, and the YouTube channel Grahamtams, they helped me a lot!
Thank you Startropics and its creators for existing!

First Master! Loved this game as a kid
jimstrom 4 Feb 2024 16:43
I seem to have some trouble with the "Watch your step" achievement. I've tried the blaster strategy, but i can't get the speed down, and Osteroid is jumping forward and crushing me instead. I play on the EUropeean ROM. ANyone who have any advice or tips for this acheivement?
Magreaux 11 Nov 2024 21:55
Hey just wanted to mention a potential glitch on the Galactic Domination cheevo! It popped for me after dying on the zoda prime form (by touching him) and then killing zoda's first form without damage, not sure if there were any other factors at play
Yanbetari 12 Jan 2025 01:26
Fixed the issue with Galactic Domination. In the future, if you see an achievement that pops when it shouldn't or fails to pop when it should, please submit a ticket via the Report an Issue link on the achievement page. Devs aren't always following the comments on the game pages, but tickets get tracked and reviewed.

Didn't finish it yet, but absolutely adored this game as a kid and I'm stoked there's achievements for it! The throwing the paper in the water from the manual is still one of my favorite game gimmick things.
groff16 6 Jun 2025 05:16
@tobesplays one of the best easter eggs ever lol. i mastered it. everytime i see a convo comes up for it, i run to play it again. One of my all time fav from teh NES days.
