Journey to the Savage Planet

Hello Everyone,

Old Game Minus is basically no different than the original game except for a few changes:

First, you only start with 3 lives (shared if in co-op). Fortunately, an extra life can be found in each area.
Second, a timer shows at the bottom of the screen, but this does not affect anything and is really only for speedruns.
Third, when you complete the game or die your save is immediately deleted.
Lastly, you MUST defeat Teratomo to complete this mode, simply getting the five fuel canisters is not enough.

Another thing to note is that you cannot change from singleplayer to coop and vice versa due to your save being tied to either-or.

An important thing to note is I did this all by myself with two xbox ones and two controllers. I basically had my wife's account loaded in and had the second person stay in the habitat the entire game. When facing Teratomo, this was the only time I had to have both players together which ulitimately loses you a life right off the bat.

EDIT: You should add that the 2nd player has to enter the final elevator leading to Teramoto. Otherwise the game will softlock and not progress. (Thanks HerrKatzchen)

This game is not difficult by any means, and the 3 boss fights are all relatively easy. For Cragclaw, if you use binding bile he cannot attack you, for the floopsnoot matriarch, just focus on the floopsnoots when they spawn, and for teratomo, just take your time and watch out for the jellywaft primes (only time I ever died during both playthroughs apart from having the second controller idle during this fight).

Here is a speed run for this game that will get you 5 fuel canisters and 28 orange goos to power you up. The only caveat is in the video he just launches back so you will need to finish the game out and defeat Teratomo which adds maybe another 30 minutes to your run. I completed this in under 3 hours easily and is stackable with the "No Refunds" achievement.


And here is the location of the extra lives you can obtain. Although I was never able to get the last one for using the Konami code, but maybe it will work for you. I highly suggest having at least 3-4 lives at all times.


Thanks everyone for viewing this solution. If you would like me to add something, please drop down a comment and I will be happy to add it in.
