There isn't any sort of guide for v9.  Feel free to make one

NORMAL MODE?!?!!?!?!??!?!?!!?!!?!?!

^ the face of a person surprised someone found one of many OP strats to get through certain bosses much easier

I beat her sister and then had the Pillar of Light that I beat Liz with Geno, which going by the cape she drops, is I assume the intended way to beat her? (Geno Whirls all day and occasional Geno Fire, yeah?)

As long as you have one of the armors that resists most elements, you can beat her with every character.

FYI, Almagest is holy elemental.

Very impressive defeating those bosses as early as you did 

Once you've beaten Smithy, you have access to every hidden chest, regardless of what you do.

I don't remember what happened to that chest in v9.  Listen for the jingle.

Yes, you will hear the jingle unless you instantly encounter an enemy as it would play.

Once you've beaten Smithy, you have access to every hidden chest.

In v9, Smithy is the gatekeeper to the postgame bosses.  As such, he's not as strong as he was in previous versions.

It becomes significantly easier to obtain Chaos Grenades after you beat Smithy.

Well, it depends.

Did you activate the Oathkeeper?  If you did... clearly it's your fault 

To clarify, this is all because the (hidden stat) attack range on Ultima Weapon is insanely high, increasing the potential max damage dramatically.

@dawnbomb, have you beaten Rosalina on v9 normal without using save states?

If so, have you done it without having haste equipped?

Just throwing out some plenty difficult challenges while waiting for v9 hard...

You can't choose the hammer on SNES Classic in v8.  As you said, it crashes the game.

If you switch to v9 or to Snes9X, choosing the hammer will work fine.  Otherwise, you'll have to skip the attack bonuses (there's no physical defense bonus in v8).

It was present in the old normal mode, but removed in content mode and the new normal mode.

That was actually the beta for content mode, before it was decided to make it significantly easier.

I believe you're referring to a beta for v9 where full break was indicated by the numbers flashing.  This relied on an emulator bug in Snes9X though, so it was replaced with the shield icon.

You think its possible to beat Rosalina with Mario/Peach/Geno?

Yes, but it won't be easy.

Nice job!

You're getting to the most difficult battles in Normal mode now.  All I can say is... good luck 

In v9, you need to beat Smithy before most post-game bosses appear.

It's probably at least a month away.

To unlock the FF boss rush, you just have to beat Smithy first.  The Shaman from v8 hasn't moved.

The other boss rush is now called Trial Mode and can be found on Star Hill.

I've managed to beat all the bosses in under a day. Even the boss rushes were pretty neat too. Great mod!

Nice job!  On content or normal?

One more thing: how much programming do I have to know to work with Lazy Shell Editor? I really, really want to make my own hack that everybody plays.

To use Lazy Shell effectively, you'll need to at least think logically, but you don't need any specific programming experience.

Doom edition is just the version that follows my design philosophies more closely.  Even though I helped work on v9, the design is largely DK's.  There are plenty of things that I would do differently.  For example, lowering overall damage to avoid hitting the damage cap

The cap for both lives and damage is 30k due to 16-bit limitations.

@Doomsday31415 Thank you! Hard mode is going to be...interesting, I might just upload all of my videos for my playthrough like a let's-play format.

Looking forward to it!

Also, welcome to the forums. 

Nice job!  Aside from me, you're the first one to make a video beating her.

At one point I was going to use that strategy for the video, but as you noticed, it takes a really long time to do.  Still, it's interesting that you can win like that at all.

Good luck in hard mode!
