Once upon a time, some guy named Succulla decided to play a Sega Genesis/Mega Drive game called Thunder Force IV, also known to some of you as Lightening Force. He decided to play it on the Maniac difficulty, which was the hardest of the four.
He tore it a new one. And he got the No Miss bonus.
This is how he did it.

This is how he did it.
Unlike my previous guides, where I tell you what to do, I actually relax a bit. Call it my personal commentary on a "no death run," if you will.
0:12 - Oh, crap. Here it comes.
0:37 - Succulla finally gets the Blade power-up, which upgrades the Twin Shot. This makes it easier to beat some of the bosses later in the game.
0:58 - Now the Rail Gun is available, which upgrades the Back Shot and makes it almost as powerful as the Blade.
1:22 - After almost 90 seconds of destroying things that fly in the air, the ship goes towards the water to destroy this thing. The final segment shoots beams at the ship after a few seconds, but Succulla dodges it and destroys it, anyway.
1:43 - And now we go in the water. Succulla gets a 1-up before destroying everything that can possibly be blown up. The foreground at the beginning of this section is impressive, by the way.
2:44 - We're out of the water...and it's boss time!
2:58 - Succulla switches to the Rail Gun and makes a mockery out of the boss, shooting down every single projectile the claw spits out.
3:35 - The claw swings away. After a while, Succulla fights this monstrosity. The Rail Gun takes care of some fireballs while shooting down the orb.
4:22 - The orb on the second form turns red, and it dives under the water for a second to hit the ship with the orb...but that fails.
4:41 - ...and the boss attacks with the orb again. He does it one more time, but Succulla is able to dodge even that.
5:21 - Bye, bye.
