- Hardest difficulty
Game & Watch Collection 2 is a collection of two classic games, Parachute and Octopus, from the Game & Watch series with a new game that combines the two, Parachute x Octopus. Starting with the first Octopus session, each cycle follows the pattern where the points gained during the Octopus session determines the reward for the following Parachute session, with each parachute granting 10 points at most.
This movie reaches the point (1000 mark) in Parachute x Octopus where the speed of parachutes and tentacles stops increasing. As a note, the difficulty increases only as the displayed score counter increases, which means the technical maximum difficulty settings don't take effect until after the inputs end. Detailed explanation can be seen here.
The system time at the start is manipulated to make sure the third parachute doesn't get stuck on the tree.
A trick to cancel the treasure grabbing animation early by moving left and then back right to initiate a new treasure grab in order to increase efficiency is used through out the movie.
The overall strategy mostly comes down to:
- grabbing treasure as frequently as possible and head to the surface for 3 points if the treasure is blocked, unless the parachutes are already falling because it wouldn't be possible to return underwater immediately in that case
- manipulate for as many parachutes as possible (after the first session) by avoiding being right below a parachute that would have spawn at the specific time
An alternative strategy that might be worth considering if automating becomes possible is to immediately return to the surface after each treasure grab whenever possible.
