Wow... you not only got through there so quickly, but you totally clobbered the boss. o_O Plus, I didn't know you could use bombs to propel yourself across the holes, now I want to play the game and try it! XD

That video is almost painful. >_> That section of the game always takes me forever to beat and you just cruised through it in no time at all... Damn that's impressive. Heh. :p
I actually haven't gotten any comments like that on my previous two Mothula videos. (I have one done in the same style as the walkthrough and one using only the sword.) I doubt many people think to use bees on it.
But I've used a Good Bee on Mothula before and it's rarely faster in the SNES version due to the damage bug that randomly stops Mothula from taking damage when hit. I can almost always kill it faster using the sword and Fire Rod. The Fire Rod seems to have a higher chance of actually causing damage than other things.
Incidentally, spin attacks with the Tempered Sword can't hit Mothula at all in the SNES version. They go right through. I've not gotten around to testing with the Golden Sword but it makes me wonder if even normal swings with that would also be ineffective.
Hmm. Just so you know, expect a lot of snarky comments from people who think they're smarter than you about bees getting the job done faster when it comes to Mothula. It's nice to see someone actually kill the thing the right way, though.

Bah, beating Mothula the right way is so much more fun. Why even play the game if you're just going to sic bees on a boss?
The Mothula fight is one of the toughest in the game -- really easy for someone without experience to completely panic, haha.
Love thy Evangelion.
