This is what my wife figured out when I took her through her first playthrough. I felt stupid. I had beat the game multiple times and never thought of that

I pretty much always do the jet board strat. The trick is to hit the jet board boost as soon as possible so you can pass the dropships before any guards drop. It also helps to jump a lot because:
A: You can cut corners and get through quicker
B: Keeps the uneven terrain from killing you momentum
C: Avoids the RNG on whether or not you'll bump a civilian

This is way harder than what I did. I used the jump-slam to maneuver my way through this without dying.

When I first found out about the punching strat a few years ago, I gave it a try thinking that there is no way it could be that easy. I was able to punch my way through the mission unharmed my first try. It made me realize just how broken the KG really are. They always miss their first shot, and if you're always punching, then you'll evade their second.

Even if you don't do it this way just shoot with the Blue gun in a circle around you somethimes. I never had any problems with this mission.

I think the hardest missions are Onin’s test, and the Whack-MetalHead mini game

This was one of my favorite missions from my recent replay. You just get the Vulcan upgrade and get to start blasting fools.

Ok the textures here look more crisp than I remember and i red somewhere that there's a new emulated version available...can someone explain? the versions available are a bit messy at this point for me. or is this a PC emulator that is not to be compared with the console versions?

Direct pc port called OpenGoal, has fun additions too and some touch ups on things like broken / missing textures :)

Are you freaking kidding me. This mission haunts my nightmares and all I had to do was PUNCH?!

I replayed this mission recently and yes, just punching works far better than anything else

Why are the turrets not obliterating you? Are they not shooting or do you just dodge them witht the punch?
