Well I want to keep to the spoiler policy of the LP, but I'll give you a hint--it's a non-human character.
Given that Magma and Rococo have already been found (and I'm pretty sure I found both of those by complete accident my first playthrough of the game) I think I have a pretty good idea of which character you're referring to.

Excellent game, this. Among Treasure's best, I'd have to say. For once they manage shooter stages that aren't terrible (the two shmup stages that appear in Gunstar Super Heroes are complete trash, seriously. Shame 'cause the rest of that game is good).

The character I needed a faq to find later is also high up in their level, but not in one with high gravity to allow for the automatic screen scroll giveaway :argh:
Oh yeah, definitely the one I was suspecting you were talking about. I have no idea how I actually found that one myself, but I'm reasonably sure I didn't check a FAQ. Definitely one of the hardest to find.

Don Dracula was another one of those I found, if I remember correctly, by complete accident my first time through the game.

Also, oh man, the plot from here on out. It's kicked into high gear and will not stop until the very end of the game.

Part of me wants to remember that you can hit North by punching to summon a palm, then dash through him and hit him on the other side... or maybe that's just what I always tried doing and it never actually worked.

Also now that we have Pluto here, people should go read Naoki Urusawa's Pluto. It's basically a perspective flip of the original World's Strongest Robots story (that I, uh, haven't actually read), with a few elements from other Astro Boy stories, and absolutely fantastic. Also sad. Seriously worth the read.

Checking the Japanese Wikipedia page for the game, in the Japanese version he was straight up named モンブラン/Montblanc.

Another Japanese Wikipedia check, and Epsilon is indeed refered to as female there. So, uh. That makes even less sense than the Montblanc -> Brontus thing, really...

I might mention that I've been posting Pluto over in the Cool Crew Chat Central webcomic thread. Well, actually, MissEchelon started posting it and I resumed it when she dropped it. So if anyone hasn't read it yet, here's your chance! MissEchelon's posts starts here and mine here.

Also glad to see this LP returning.
