Star Fox (Switch 2) - 2842 total hits (Ver. 1.2.0, expert)

Sorry about the inconsistent editing, I was a bit lazy ^^' Link to unedited run for hit64:    • Star Fox (Switch 2) - 2842 total hits (Ver...   Timestamps: Corneria: 00:00:00 Meteo: 00:05:14 Katina: 00:12:16 Sector X: 00:18:27 Macbeth: 00:24:30 Area 6: 00:31:07 Venom 2: 00:38:46 Final Hits Screen: 00:46:07 Generally quite happy with the run, although I did miss a fair number of points. The good news is that a lot of them are well within my reach, with just a bit more practice. The bad news is that I now have to grind A6 if I want to reach 2900... I attempted a different bomb strategy between the Meteo warp and Katina. Usually, players use all the bombs they get during the warp, then take a death at Katina to restock. Instead, I planned to get 6 bombs for Katina (ended up with 5, didn't want to restart the 580-attempt). The idea behind it is: Assuming you take a death to restart at the checkpoint in Meteo, you can get up to 10 bombs, which is far more than really needed for the warp. So I tested how many bombs I can get away with and ended up with 4 for the warp and 6 for Katina. With this strat, I lose about 10 - 15 points during the warp, but in turn, I gain about 15-20 points in Katina thanks to the 3 additional bombs. Plus, Katina becomes more consistent, which is quite helpful in a full route run. Downside is that you are not allowed to die in Katina, which on expert is a real concern. I don't want to draw any conclusions yet on which strategy is better, I still need to test Katina with 6 bombs more. It's hard to gauge what is a top-tier Katina run, since it's such an inconsistent level. But I don't think I have achieved the maximum possible during practice with 6 bombs, so my estimates might change.
