[TAS] Revolution X Arcade 46,247,250

Tool-assisted superplay (TAS) of Revolution X Arcade 46,247,250 (one Credit)

I'm sorry that I had to mute a song (Eat the Rich) due to copyright issue (from 4:29 to 5:52).
And I also had to mute the end (Walk This Way). (from 36:36)
To watch the ending with sound, go here: http://prog61.ca/Revolution%20X%202%2...

Goals:
-Show all known secrets and collect all 5 wings (Aerosmith members) (not a speedrun)
-Avoid getting hit if possible
-Destroy as many things as I can

Notes:
-I use this FAQ to learn the game: http://www.aerosmithtemple.com/revolu...

Analyzing the memory, I observed that:

==Energy:
-The energy bar is at 150 units when it is full (6 per small rectangle), but you start the game with 187 units.
-'Extra Energy' gives you 50 units of energy
-After shooting the cat, I had 287 energy (I got 2 extra energy from the windows of Club X)
-At the start of the helicopter chase, I had 385 units of energy
-I started (and finished) the helicopter boss with 324 energy.
-I lost 37 units in "Amazon Jungle", all with the last boss, finishing the level with 287.
-I finished the bus chase (Middle East) with 270.
-In 'Pacific Rim' I lost 33 units in the hallway leading to Brad Whitford (24:20)
-With 8 more energy at the end of 'Pacific Rim' I reached 600.
-I started the last boss with 594 but lost 245 to Helga.
-And I lost 46 to Mondor to finish the game with 303 energy.

==CDs
-The game doesn't display more than 999 CDs on screen but internally the game keeps the exact count.
-I reached more than 2800 CDs before the boss of 'Pacific Rim'.
-I sent 109 CDs to the boss helicopter, 45 to the bus, 384 to the boss of 'Pacific Rim'
-At the start of the last boss I had 2370 CDs and I finished the game with 1814 CDs, so I shot 556 CDs to the last boss.

==Shield
-Works exactly like the energy bar. When the shield energy is not 0 the shield energy goes down instead of the energy bar.
-The shield worth 30 energy.
-But it is not cumulative, the maximum value is 30. So if you already have a shield, wait a bit before getting a second one so as not to waste those 30 energy.
-Even if the message 'SHIELD UP' does not appear when you change sections you do not lose it, ex: I had a shield outside of Club X and at the beginning of the helicopter stage the shield continues to be effective.

==Super Gun
-When you get a Super Gun, you have 200 super shots.
-This value is not cumulative, maximum 200.
-A Super Gun shot is almost as effective as a CD. (I do not know exactly its strength)

==Lazer Disks
-I could not test to see if it is cumulative or not but I believe it probably work like CDs.


-When an enemy shoots, you will only lose energy when your part of the screen is hit.
-Each player has 1/3 of the screen, you can ignore shots on the other 2/3 of the screen.
-So when playing this game, focus on your part of the screen first.
-There are a few exceptions to this rule. Helga, the helicopter and the elevators (24:23) hit you wherever they shoot.

-At the end of "Pacific Rim" I got 8 extra energy, but I had to use RNG manipulation for 2 of them (3rd and 4th red objects on a bench) (27:15).
-From what I can see in other videos, shooting a company logo almost always gives you extra energy.

-Now that I see the video, I see I missed a few points here and there and a Club X girl (4:00) (I should have worked harder on that one).
-I tried to fix them, but you can't edit a TAS in the middle, it changes the RNG, and then nothing after the edit point works properly.

-To get the TROG (0:41), you have to kill the cat (9 hits) and then shoot a CD at the tree you can see over the wall.
-I don't know if the secret to the helicopter chase (7:15) is there if you didn't kill the TROG.

-To get the secret in the window outside Club X (1:54), you must have killed the cat and not shot that window earlier.
-In this secret, you must shoot a CD at the door to go to the bathroom.

-It seems that if you don't shoot the star on the door at the end of Club X, enemies will spawn endlessly (4:47)

-On the bus level, I had to stop shooting because the bus exploded before I could get the 4th wings (21:50).

-For some reason, Helga cost me 35 units of energy each time she hit me (7 times) (32:09). I haven't seen her do this much damage in other YouTube videos.
-You have to shoot her when she cartwheels in front of the throne.

-At least Mondor (the last boss) (32:32) is easy to kill, but very long to TAS.
-His machine guns only deal damage to the player whose part of the screen is hit and it is easy to make him lose his weapon (3-4 CD on the arm).

-It took me about 50 hours of work to make this video. I hope you like it. Thanks for watching.
