This is not the correct place to report a problem that is happening to me, but as I found on the site a page intended to report errors emulator (RAgens), I am commenting here. all Mega Drive games are being rendered in my notebook with Ultra-pixilate

This game is kicking my teeth in... I beat it a few years ago, so why am I having trouble now?

Really tough hard mode.I finally did it:)

Some Achievements on Wii u doesn't work!

Jogo maravilhoso, mais um platinado!

Wow, updated and added cheevos the moment I wanted to complete it. What a 1st April I'm having :D

Mastered back in my quest days. This game is the one that REALLY goes on nuts and makes a good show when player choose Hard difficult: Game becomes insane and very easy to ragequit. Set is tough but enjoyable enough :v
Jaytwelve 24 Aug 2020 18:19
Hard difficulty in this game is really hard. :)
Emoon 1 Nov 2021 05:36
Mastered. Sadly, 210 for a game with a punishing Hard mode like this one is almost a joke. Adding progress cheevos for getting gems in Hard mode -- and thus increasing the total score to 300-ish -- would be very much welcome.

Mastered!

Hard mode is really hard, but a video in Youtube helped me out.

Mastered (platinado)! Played this game many times in my childhood, some fond memories there.

Eu quando crianca conseguia zerar no Hard!! Hoje em dia... so lamentos hahahaha poxa!! Um dia consigo platinar esse! Amo muito!
Scott 14 Feb 2023 16:02
Glad I didn't make the hard completion any harder by adding any more conditions, so surprised at the ratio!

My tips for the Hard playthrough since I can consistently make it to Mizrabel now:
- TAKE IT SLOW! No need to rush. Be very very patient, especially against the dragon boss.
- In the first level, get on the vines and swing, and then put your speedup function on and go make a cup of tea or something. Mickey is invincible while on the vines. Farm 10 lives and then continue on. You'll need all of them.
- Bats are your worst enemy. Stage 5, and the level with the refilling water are the worst. Memorize their placements and take it slow.
- You'll be consistently able to do stages 1-3 damageless. The library is where it starts to get hard. Walk past enemies (the As are annoying) where you can.
- The part where you get the green gem is the worst. The dragon is also horrible. Take it slow.

Additional tip: the hitbox for the boss before Mizrabel is some bullshit. AND BEWARE THE FREAKING BATS.
Scott 27 Mar 2023 14:35
LOVE this advice!! Especially the 10 lives trick, thank-you!! Maybe I can actually give this a proper go now
poisongirlss 27 Mar 2023 17:02
Mastered #22: Mizrabel is one of the easier bosses - the ghosts always fly in the same direction. Again, PATIENCE! Great game, but happy to never have to play it again!

Until the revision.
