It was nice seeing some monster variety (monsters resistant to certain attacks), even if the mutants did get annoying by the end.

I gotta say, I do remember this game being WAAAAY harder as a kid. I must have been playing really sub optimally. Now, going through it and fighting all the battles (no running) and using common sense, it’s been pretty easy so far. And with a bunch of power tabs dumped into chrono with a counter attack it’s even easier. Don’t hit my boi cause he tags back!

Anyway, then I got to the bike race, and at first it felt just as fucking impossible as when I was kid, until I remembered that you can just chill behind the dude the whole race and use a turbo to jump ahead at the last moment. Then I remembered there’s prizes for high scores so I spent an hour or so practicing until I remembered the rhythm and hit several 13XX scores for some mid tonics, and *finally* got a > 1500 score for the power tab grand prize. You basically have to bounce off of him back and forth and find a nice rhythm to it - though it’s miserable and I hope I don’t need to do it again.
