Hero difficulty starts at 36:20

The latest thing I did on the game. Hero difficulty is the ultimate challenge the game has for you, only accesible after a 1CC on master diff. There is no stage select for this difficulty so yeah, you can't practice it.

Key differences with master mode are:
- The game overall is slightly faster on everything: your own speed, enemies, bullets, much like that one arena challenge I think - provided you go with the same aggresivity as intended you will meet most speedrun feats here.
- Every non-boss enemy shoots 3 skulls at you on death that last like half a second and are slightly slower than the saw from master diff.
- Some levels have extra hazards or extra enemies.
- Your next pickup will not be inmediately a shield if you lost it (you will need to wait until enough multipliers up are dropped)
- When a pickup spawns due to your bar filling up, it will launch a circular beam that speeds up much like those tanks from World 4. If you didn't remember how their spawn sounded like, you should do so now.
- Incidentally you spawn pickups like twice as fast. :D
- No continues.
- Cool new loading screen.

The fact that it can't be practiced and the nature of the changes means that you may be forced to deviate from your intended route way often.
Protobomb is a must, mastering dash explosions is also a must.
It's important to know that you can extend your dash by holding the corresponding button. Abuse iframes as much as you can and take advantage of the fact that the revenge bullets don't last long.
Remember where the life ups were.
Always be on the guard for your own pickups and the beams that come with them, they're like disruptors but worse.

I'm slightly more rude at the Space Station on Hero because I wanted to collect all humans for the feat, but when I failed to enter the first secret exit I gave up on that.
Do NOT look at the second Supreme AI fight. I do not know what the fuck happened to me lmao.
At the same time that must have been my fastest Nex Machina kill ever, so in the end it evens out.

Overall I liked this difficulty a lot but not the stress that came with it nor being forced to do a 40 min warmup every time.
Finally, one misc thing to say: this was done with keyboard and mouse! It is, in fact, playable, since it ends up being just like using a thumbstick to aim.
