Why did I do a 100% run? Felt like it - that and 100% is actually a bit easier than any%.
I'll just point out the differences:
The run doesn't look any different until the Green Caves, where I have to grab a Bomb Box and the Waterproof Coat, and a Fire Box on the way out.
Next is the Helmet in the Red Caves. Without the Hyper Shoes, this would have taken quite a bit longer.
Goonie #1 to #2 has the exact same difficulty. Goonie #2 to #3 is also the same even though I have to sidetrack to get the abovementioned items.
I screwed up the Bombing Point of the 1-Up Room. The only reason I get this is because it's the only one in the game, and it "technically" helps you.
I sidetrack for an extra Key Holder and the Jumping Shoes in the underwater area, plus I grab the Bomb Box in the room next to where I obtain the Ladder. This means that backtracking through the Volcano to get to the last Goonies isn't worth it. Speaking of which...
Goonie #4 to #5 is MUCH easier this time around. I take the normal route through the Purple Cave which is quite a bit less threatening. There's also a Bomb Box that I have to pick up on the way, plus the Bulletproof Vest.
If anyone was wondering why I stopped to kill the Flying Heads on the bridge: They eat Boomerangs.
Goonie #5 to #6 is harder than last time. I have to sidetrack to get a Fire Box, which has a lot of damaging enemies in the way, even with the Bulletproof Vest. The Volcano is a little less threatening this time around, but just like last time, I arrived at the last Goonie with 1/4 of a bar of energy.
From here to Annie is just 2 more Fire Boxes, which aren't very far out of the way.
A couple other notes:
I skip all Magic Locator Devices. The game considers them "obtained" once you rescue the Goonie it's pointing to.
In most cases switching to the Jumping Shoes to jump off of a moving platform sooner is actually the same or slower since menu time is counted against me. I still did it a couple times without thinking.
...and if you actually bothered to watch both of these runs, you deserve a cookie.
