Every single time. I've died to a marching andante almost every single time.

Secret badge?

If you beat the game using agent 8's pallette while using as few hacks as possible (you must have at least 12 color chip slots available) you get a secret badge.

To get agent 8's pallette you have to go through the whole tower with every other pallette to get every key for the locker

Oh. I've never done 8's with more than 6 chips. What's the badge look like?

White square thing with a symbol on it if I remember right

This?

I think so

Yeah. I got that on my first run of 8's qualities

YOU WHAT

Yeah..... 6 chips. No life upgrades. Only armor jump

First try

Either I suck at the game or you're some kind of god at it

Literally every video I've seen about getting this said you need at least 12 color chip slots

That's assuming you suck at the game. And most people do

Well I did it with every hack I had active once and it didn't work so I'm guessing you can't go beyond the minimum

Wait I just looked at the wiki.

Are you sure you got it with 6 chip slots?

Yeah. I've never used 8's with more than 6 chips.

huh. guess I'll try it with 6 slots, most of my hacks are damage reduction

I use 5 power chips and 1 speed chip

I got it.

And I had like 18 color chip slots open

I'd probably replace the speed chip with an orange one for piercing
