“AI Koyori” is also a white flag!Koyori Hiroi conquers the demon game “Convoy's Mystery” with guts – the bond with Suo Patra who supported the challenge

Hololive's “AI Hiroi Koyori'' has been appearing in distribution for some time. However, even though she can answer anything, she can't play the retro game “Transformers: The Mystery of Her Convoy'', which is famous as a brutal game! When Koyori Hiroi asked her how to conquer the difficult stage 9, she only gave advice that sounded like “we”, such as, “It might be a good idea to refer to a strategy site.”

“Convoy's Mystery” is famous for its high level of difficulty. It seems that AI could not defeat metal life forms.

Koyori completed the “Oni Muzz Game” after three laps. There was the support of fellow VTuber “Suo Patra” and her steely spirit that took on the challenge even though it was difficult.

◆Game over in less than 40 seconds!Even so, my heart won't break
What's so brutal about “Transformers: The Mystery of Convoy”?

It is by far the most difficult of all retro games, with enemy movements being complex and difficult to deal with, and bullets being adjusted so that they hit just the right spot.

On the other hand, you can adjust the height of the jump by pressing the button hard enough, and it moves quickly, so you can enjoy an outstanding control feeling.

It was also an honor student as an action game. Although the difficulty level is high, the game balance shows signs of repeated adjustments and cannot be underestimated. That's why there is no end to those who take on challenges even today.

Since this is her first time playing on an actual Famicom, Koyori seemed excited from the beginning of the distribution. The Famicom 2P controller has a built-in microphone, so let's start playing with it. It's unusual to include the audio from a 2p microphone on a stream, and listeners were intrigued, calling it “interesting.''

When the main game started like that, it immediately exploded as it was said to “lost its own aircraft within 2 seconds of starting''. Koyori also wondered, “What? What?” The enemy's bullets were too small to even realize that he had been attacked, and the game ended in about 38 seconds.

The hellish challenge was stage 9, which is famous for being particularly difficult. I'm sure there are some streamers who will take on the challenge in the future, so I won't go into details, but it's extremely difficult to clear the challenge without any hints.

I also had someone buy “Convoy's Mystery'' in real time and tried to beat it, but I couldn't complete it without the strategy guide and the game magazine article.

However, Koyori tries stage 9 over and over again, aiming to clear it on her own.

In an uncertain situation, he repeated trial and error, was hit by bullets many times, and even when he was rammed by the enemy, he cries out like a beast and bites back.

In fact, there is a trick to continue in this game that is not listed in the instructions, but Koyori did not try to use it until stage 2, aiming to clear the stage on her own. However, because the difficulty level of stage 2 was higher than expected, I reluctantly used it and somehow managed to reach stage 9.

After being stagnant for a long time, Koyori initially declined tips from listeners. When things get too difficult and you can't see the future, you start to worry.

“No! Ow, what….

Hmm… Gunnu…. …………. …Can I ask you just one thing? Just one thing… Listen to just one thing… I don't want to hear it…

Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu…!!”

That must have been a real shame. But listeners who have played it already know. It is almost impossible to clear stage 9 without knowing the strategy.

However, after receiving a hint, I finally saw the light, and finally completed the first lap. I repeated the laps in order to completely clear the race, and was fortunate enough to clear it completely on my third lap.

It took about 8 hours to completely clear the game.

In the third playthrough, they used a warp that is activated by defeating a specific character, and also showed us a hidden character that only appears during warp.

The characters are Starscream and Bumble (now Bumblebee), who are familiar from the live-action movie.

You can enter the warp zone by attacking Starscream as it flies in jet fighter form, then transforming into robot form, then giving it another blow and defeating it, but you can't afford to pay attention to Starscream on difficult stages. there is no.

The stages that can be cut are of a difficulty level that can be cleared normally, so there is no need to take the risk of warping, and most players finish the game without using warp. That's why I was able to see something so rare.

◆Suo Patra saved the biggest crisis
It was thanks to the individual VTuber “Suo Patra” that Koyori was able to play “Convoy's Mystery” safely.

“The Mystery of Convoy'' was originally recommended when Suo Patra appeared as a guest on “Konkoyo 24,'' a 24-hour streaming project held during Golden Week in 2023.

Of course, Patra has already played “Convoy's Mystery.'' Koyori respects Patra as a “great senior among retro game players,'' and they even conducted an off-collaboration on April 24th of this year.

Koyori had also purchased the game software and prepared for the live broadcast of “Convoy's Mystery,” but for some reason, on her own Famicom, she was able to play “Convoy's Mystery” and another game she had purchased on the same day. In an emergency situation where only the game is not recognized! So he hurriedly asked Patra for help and borrowed his copy of “The Mystery of Optimus Prime.''

Mr. Patra was happy to help us even though it was in the middle of the night. What's more, they also gave us contact restoration materials as souvenirs, saying, “They have a lot of them.'' Thanks to them, we were able to stream as planned, and when we got stuck on stage 9, they showed up in the comments section and supported us.

In addition, Mr. Patra also told me about the contents that are not listed in the manual and you don't even know about their existence unless you buy a strategy book. She is truly a goddess in this project. It's no exaggeration to say that she wouldn't be what she is without her.

In any case, Koyori achieved a complete clear.

On stage 9, he almost threw his controller at me once, and he said he didn't get anything from the true ending, but he still said it was fun and the difficulty level was challenging.

At the end of the broadcast, he expressed his enthusiasm for continuing to play retro games, but what game will he try next…!?
