I made a couple videos, but they might be my last for Star Fox, at least until the credits are improved.
Stage 1 comparison:

Stage 2 comparison:
https://youtu.be/m92L_P2nQZsI used the same video as last time for my capture from the rev. 1.2 cart. However, as noted in the video description, I tested again on the 1.2 cart, with very different results (Fox survived well past the blue checkpoint ring, and was only killed by the large orange enemies that fire plasma balls!). So I think there is more RNG involved after stage 1, and I think we can only judge by the speed at which the ship progresses through the level, which is very, very close.
Also, awesome that the "blue dithered debris" glitch when blowing up the orange asteroids has been fixed. I didn't even notice this until it was pointed out in the Discord chat.
