Why does everyone seem to compare CS to the NES? It's much more akin to a SNES game if anything.
The music in the Wii version is made to sound more like a NES game, although the graphics are more reminiscent of a SNES game in that version.

During the part where the dog gives you the Life Pot and Heart Capsule I boosted off the rocket to get there and the presses killed me. Damn Presses.

This kind of mentality predates any commercial version of CS. And quite frankly the music is closer to the SNES as well. Also things like momentum, acceleration, and other complex forms of movement in platformers weren't common in the NES days, but were more so on the SNES. Not to mention sprite quantity and size limitations on the NES that make bosses like the core impossible.

I'm just trying to point out that NES comparisons fail on all points and cause me to stare at the screen in a dumbfounded WTF expression. Sure, compare to the Ouya, or GBA or Caanoo or nothing at all, I don't care, but out of everything choosing the NES as a comparative makes no sense at all (well I suppose the commodore 64 would make even less sense but no-one is comparing it to that), yet it is the most common, and only (to my knowledge), gaming system comparative anyone ever uses for CS.

Sorry about the rant. Pet peeve.

Anyhow back to the topic at hand.. I once tried to attempt the temporary damage, rocket spam trick on Ballos' 4th form without using rockets.

same here.

I jumped up in front of the door and saw the eye open.

Then I shot it.


My deaths were the core without the booster and the basil.

Plus 100 trying to (successfully) get under 3 minutes at hell.

That's the deadliest weapon in a bat's arsenal: it's adoribility.
Let's just hope you've learned your lesson.

Currently I'm trying to unlock at least White or Toroko's Theme on the DSiWare, and apparently trying to touch the Heavy Press WHATSOEVER while it's dying results in asplosion...

The more you know.

Edit: And what sucks even more is that it was a promising run, too, with almost Lvl. 3 Super Missiles, 40ish health (thanks to the use of the Life Pot), and a time of around 2 minutes

Once I was in Sacred Grounds B2, and by some amazing stroke of random, dumb luck I managed to boost away from and avoid a falling block by inches. I was feeling like, 'Whew! That was close!' And right then a bute rammed head-on into me. And killed me.

Wow.
This world is such a sad and funny place...

Isn't it possible to get an achievement in one of the ports from being killed by Toroko? So maybe it wasn't all for naught.
Yes, in the steam version of CS+ its called Toroko wins.

And for me its dying when Heavy press was falling. (How was I supposed to know that touching the side would kill me?!).
