Gonna try and get a full 2-ALL?
Yeah, I'm going to keep pushing on. This particular run was kind of a mess in the loop after that bungled suicide, but I have a route that carries me through to the 2-ALL pretty safely, but I still need to practice 2-4 and 2-5 more.

I have no idea why you wouldn't get the extend. The WR Momo run has the 1 score extend in the loop. It's probably worth doing the suicide anyway and hoping the extend works unless of course you have more than 2 bombs in stock somehow.
I realized why and now I feel dumb: it's because the cab was set to extends every 5,000,000. Technically, I wasn't playing on default settings so my score should be invalid, but for 1.0 loop runs it makes no difference since you have to no-miss the first loop and extends are cut off in the loop. Do I get a pass?

I do wonder if the 1-up from stage 3 midboss can glitch on the PCB since I'd had runs where I killed it with Lard Shot in 1.01(Loop 2 where it doesn't need to be empty) still not get it.
I've never had that happen, but I wouldn't doubt it with this game (and that port). Are you sure you didn't kill it when he was at the bottom of the screen? If the boss is too far down when the autoscroll moves up, you won't get the 1UP.

Almost makes me want to try relearning a route for it. I was using Rafute but was only able to get up to stage 1-4 boss without a death as my best. I would probably want to switch and get used to Momo though since I think Rafute has some issues with her shot that hurts her in the loop. Rafute is definitely easier to loop with, but I think Momo is better for survival after that. Ikuo just seems bad for it though.
Ikuo is tough, but I'm so used to her at this point there's no going back. Getting the no-miss took me a long time and much more routing than I thought I would need initially. It's all about bomb hoarding, particularly for tough, RNG heavy sections like the 1-4 boss.
