How it plays
How does Karnov (US, rev 5) play?
Guide Karnov through side-scrolling stages, shoot enemies, jump across terrain, collect power-ups and tools, and reach the end of each stage. The arcade route mixes combat with item-based traversal and increasingly dense hazards.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Karnov (US, rev 5)?
Use projectiles before entering a new screen, keep traversal items until their required obstacle, and practice the landing points around stairs and gaps. Record rev 5 explicitly when a behavior differs from rev 6 or the Japanese program.
