Here are my notes for upgrades for full game easy turbo

Current world record and blank splits are included in RESOURCSE

I'm putting this on Forum instead of GUIDES because guides don't let you comment. This is a VERY incomplete guide I made on the fly going through once - it's the strategies I used in my run. The one change I'd recommend is possibly changing from Fireball (rear) to Sonic once you can have it max upgraded... since a max upgraded Sonic is better than Fireball. I still prefer fireball at level 4 to anything other than max sonic though.

Shout out to firefyte for showing me HIS version of the "shopping list" --- as well as which levels are faster when given choices.

Also, I seem to be missing a generator upgrade in here somewhere... O.O that's problematic, because generator is what regenerates your shields.

If you can make any improvements, missing levels, typos, or optimizations please comment with ideas, and I'll edit. GOOD LUCK to anyone running this fantastic game :)

I think a time of roughly 1:02:00 would be possible with no deaths and fast bosses on NG+... I don't think a sub-hour time is possible

Episode 1

• Starting Front Gun +1 Right Sidekick Plasma Storm NOTE: The "spikes" near the end are worth 1,000 each... they are killable with TWO plasma storms, which leaves you TWO plasma storms, which will regenerate to THREE by the time you get to the boss

• After Tyrian Front +2 = 4 Rear Sonic +1 = 2 Shield = Upgrade

• After Asteroid 1 Generator +1

• After Savara Rear Fireball 4 (and for the most part keep it at 4, since it's the most spread out at 4, and cheap)

DIE (Bonus)

• After Mines Ship - Gencore Phoenix Front +1 = 5

• After Delani Ship = Gencore Maelstrom Generator Upgrade Rear -1 = 4 Front +1 = 7

• After Savara V Left Sidekick = Plasma Storm Front Upgrade

Episode 2

SKIP

• After Torm Shield = Class B Rear +1 = 5 (because there's a generator in the next level)

• After Gyges Ship Upgrade Back = 4 (to free up money, and make the spread as big as possible) Front = Max

DIE (Bonus)

Shield Upgrade

• After Ast City Nothing

DIE (Bonus)

• After Bonus Ship Upgrade
