Yeah, post your best times in Hell(Doukutsu), mine's currenly(as of, just a minute ago) 5'57"0.
Unlocked a title screen :D :p

7'03"7 on this computer... Damn, you're the first person I know who's beaten me. I'm serious. :p

I could probably do better if I really tried, although I've not played the game in forever...

If you want a challenge, give it a crack with the machine gun. I think my best time with that is just under 10 minutes.

I can't post my best time because I don't know what in hell you are talking about.

I would have assumed everyone to know by now, but oh well.

What a great reason to post in this thread!

Yes. How else would I get to know what game you where talking about?

I guess I see your point. Angelus didn't give a lot of details there. :p

What, Doukutsu was enough of a give-away, just goole it or wikipedia it and you should find all you need :p
Also, 4'33"0. Toroko titlescreen!:cool:
edit: no clue where that whole minute and almost a half went, honestly :p

/me wants a video recording of Angel's ridiculously awesome time.

Wow, that's damn good.

My best is 5'15"1
Bet I could do better if I really set my mind to it, but I hate that there's luck involved in the falling rock room.
I hate chance.

Yeah well I just run trough that like a whore looking for crack. I loose almost all my life there, but meh, I can finish almost all the area with the hell keepers witouth loosing health so :p
And I don't need that much health agains ballos either.
The only thing I think would aid me would be to get the nemesis, I allways take too long to kill ballos 2 and 3 and the... uh... thing before ballos.

And no videos to you courtesy of this crappy computer. :p

Forget hell runs, why not try the Cavestory BOSS RUSH MOD (http://rapidshare.de/files/25227794/Cave_Story_Boss_Rush.rar.html)?

Found on these forums- http://miraigamer.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=37

There's a few quite interesting mods on those forums, not least this one - http://miraigamer.net/forums/showthread.php?t=331

(You'll have to search through the thread a bit before you find the latest version)

It's not complete yet, but it boasts altered graphics, different weapons, items, story etc. Basicaly an incomplete complete re-write of the entire game. It's pretty challenging in places, some of the new bosses are hard to avoid.

Hmm, this is interesting...

Apparently I have Cave Story 1.0.0.5 with translation 1.0, and the latest is Cave Story 1.0.0.6 with translation 1.3. Anyone know the difference?

Is it about 4?

Hmm, well, since I'm reinstalling the game, might as well update it. I removed it since my record kept being utter crap and it annoyed me. :p

Let's see if I can do better this time. At least I'm going through the game much quicker, a day's playing (more or less) and I'm already up to the core. I'm also trying to get everything I can this time. (which means GAAAAAAAAAH, I miss the machine gun and booster!)

Well I think I found the link, but it doesn't work :(

Also, finished the Boss run on my first try at 17'50"9 :(

Damn. The boss rush doesn't work on the mac.
I can mess around with the "Show Package Contents" of Doukutsu Mongatari and replace the data file inside the real game with the boss rush one, but the levels don't load properly.

Got bored of trying to beat hell under 4 minutes, so decided to make a copy and hack the hell out of it, and now got a time of 2'45"2 :p
Had unlimited booster fuel, unlimited missiles, and an exp box with ballos to help me easily get level 3 missiles, oh an infinite health :p
FUN.

Hacking CS savegames is too easy. Maybe I should make a trainer, and be smithen by the community! :p

Though I prefer to just cause odd behavior, like level 4 weapons or both Boosters at once.

Is hell a single level in the game or are you calling the whole game hell?

You could call the whole game hell :p but Hell is the final bunch of areas for the game's 3rd ending. Which are, indeed, utter HELL to go through.

Hell with great fat flying cherubs, but hell nonetheless.

Ok made it to the Last Cave, and DEAR SWEET GAWD I'm remembering why I uninstalled the game. At least this time I think I didn't miss anything. 50 health, saved Curly, got Nemesis, Spur, Super Missile, Bubbler, Fireball.

Spur should be all you'll need. :p

Woohoo, up to the second-ending bosses now. Soon I'll have a fantastically crappy record to show here! :p

Spur should be all you'll need. :pActually I just end up shoving rockets up every boss' ass, since they're much faster and powerful at low-range. Of course, when that runs out, Spur it is. ;)

The rest of the weapons are more useful at more specific situations. I don't like the Whismical Star though, it attracts monsters too easily, though handy to block basic projectiles.

Spur should be all you'll need. :p
I didn't like it, takes to load to charge etc. I prefer the nemesis, it's just a matter of avoiding those stupid triangles, or switching weapon really fast :P

I didn't like it, takes to load to charge etc. I prefer the nemesis, it's just a matter of avoiding those stupid triangles, or switching weapon really fast :PYeah, Spur is powerful and good for long-range, but sometimes time is of the essence.

Also, I just found out that beating the 2nd ending bosses in reverse order is much easier than in normal order, for some reason. Yay for weird behavior! :p

And now, off to get a time record through Hell. Urgh...

Well, you've watched the best videos. Now watch the worst: http://media.putfile.com/Cave-Story---How-to-suck-at-the-Hell-Run :p (and yes that was the best of my runs. I had enough trouble getting around those spikes)

*pokes head in(I'm not going to be much of a lurker if i keep this up)*

Well that was a fun game...after beating hell the first time with a time of over 18 minutes I made a goal to halve that time...I almost thirded it.

My time is 6 minutes, 47 seconds. Thank god for health pots and my ability to mash the fire button fast.

It didn't get me a title screen though...*sniff*

im just on the string of bosses before hell so will be joining in shortly :)

My first real attempt at a speed run through Hell has left me with a time of 6'14"8. No title screen or anything. :-/

I got another new time from playing... 4 minutes and 24.6 seconds! Toroko title screen ftw :). done through running like...hell, blade whoring the 2nd form(jumping next on to the bit next to his eye) then having enough health(with healthpot) to ignore damage from last form.
