Achieved a new overall PB (previous was 13.9M with Uotaro) and also Type C Score World Record for Dangun Feveron! Played on PCB.
Stage Listing:
00:00 - Stage 1
01:56 - Boss 1
02:08 - Stage 2
04:53 - Boss 2
05:54 - Stage 3
08:26 - Boss 3
09:17 - Stage 4
12:15 - Boss 4
12:59 - Stage 5
16:28 - Boss 5 (Real Final Boss)
18:06 - Fake Final Boss
19:15 - Ending & Credits
For some reason nobody plays this type but it's actually the best ship to pair with Roll.
Stage Notes:
Stage 1 - Very good, anything over 300K is good and 310K+ is above average.
Stage 2 - Extremely good, this is actually the second highest score I've ever done on this stage. Highest I've ever done in practice is 1.94M.
Stage 3 - About average for what I get on this level, could definitely be better. It's possible to get as high as 2.4M but extremely risky as it relies on getting perfect bombs on the rails and risk getting killed as you can't see your ship during bombing since the game glitches out. Also I panic bombed losing some cyborgs right before the rails.
Stage 4 - Solid, 2.3+ is very doable but the turret section right at the end is extremely dangerous if you race through it quicker. Also if you have more bombs you can do this section even faster.
Stage 5 - Biggest letdown by far in this run. Went too slow (usually I get the orbs before the tank section), so lost out on some of the high value waves at the end, probably around 100-150K. And also used 2 bombs on the final because honestly I was just too nervous to attempt it. Normally it's only 1 bomb to be safe but even that still requires some dodging and I just couldn't afford to die right at the end. Next time, if I keep playing, I'd definitely try only 1 bomb or maybe none (which I can do very consistently in practice). I've done as high as 1.9 million before the boss in practice and 8 million total for this stage is possible. So there's a lot of room to gain in here.
I feel like I can potentially improve to about do 14.6 or 14.7 if I keep grinding but honestly I might be done with this game unless someone else comes along and beats this score.
14.8 and even 14.9 are possible with doing more risky stuff and even 15M is theoretically possible with a "sum of all bests" god run (not happening).

![Contra: Hard Corps (Genesis) - No Death Run [Mother Alien Ending]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/hzcN4kMNjzs/mqdefault.jpg "Contra: Hard Corps (Genesis) - No Death Run [Mother Alien Ending]
Full no death run of Contra: Hard Corps (魂斗羅 ザ・ハードコア in Japan) by Konami for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive! This run was done with the US version of the game, which has 1 hit deaths unlike the Japanese version. Im playing as Ray and going through the path ending with the fight with the Mother Alien (aka Alien Queen/Alien Heart).
This was played on a JVC XEye with real cartridge, no emulation or cheats were used.
Stage Listing:
00:00 - Intro
00:26 - Stage 1 - City Battle
03:21 - Stage 2 - High Speed Fight
06:09 - Stage 3 - Junkyard
09:41 - Stage 4 - Jungle
15:53 - Stage 5 - Trap
18:42 - Stage 6 - Alien Space
21:58 - Final Boss + Ending
This route is one of the easier routes in that there are few issues that cause significant stress, most of the difficulty lies in the final stage. The wannabe Red Falcon midboss can be an issue with its random spawns but he goes down easily with a single bomb if you place it right. The area right before the final boss can be a bit tricky if you dont have the right weapons but the laser works great in that section.")
