The best thing about Gyruss is that it plays Bach's Toccata/Fugue in D minor as the background music.........the worst thing about Gyruss is that it doesn't play it while you pause the game.
HOWEVER..................................................................................no there is no however it just sucks that it doesn't play Bach when you pause.

Gone get all Canadian on me now eh? He was originally from The Guess Who which in my opinion was a far, far superior band.
BTO is alright but The Guess Who kind of just poops allover em.

For the most part the band sucks, but this song is killer, that synthesizer shredding is amazing.
If stage does indeed matter, I was at the boss that shoots a crap ton of stuff at you (third or fourth). I know that doesn't help much. I'll try to play more and top this, noting where I'm at this time.
Stage progression doesn't matter this week unless you beat the game. Looping of the game is forbidden, so if you beat it, take your picture when it loops back to stage 1. This contest is all about getting a high score without point racking.
Looks like the rest of my week is going to be busier than expected, but I kept plugging away, got through Pluto unscathed, and actually made it to the Sun (he turns into an eye... and shoots a bunch of other eyes... and I was out of missiles... he killed me).

I would simply specify that by forbidden point racking, we mean cheap tactics like intentionally not killing the last spaceship to advance in the stage in order to continuously waiting for the extra enemies/bonus to spawn.
Good first attempt! Made it all the way to the final boss and I was really close to finishing it off, but alas!
I left some points on the table here too. I got 39/40 on FIVE of the Chance Stages and I only got a perfect 40/40 on the very first one. It got to the point where every time I missed an enemy I knew it would be the only one I wouldn't kill.
Second attempt and game finished! This was a higher scoring run than last time even subtracting the final boss kill and I'm not sure what I did exactly to bump my score up but I'll take it!
Just for fun I started up the second loop and it's quite the bump in difficulty. Can't say I've ever tried it before. The first boss wiped me out in a way I did not expect!

Score updated. Switching to a regular controller was definitely a good idea. The Advantage was murdering my wrist, and I don't think it actually helped much. (Just to clarify, I wasn't using any of the features, but I'd wanted to try to replicate the arcade experience with the joystick and big buttons.)

No score worth posting at this point in time, finally got past Pluto though, big step.
Why do I have a feeling this "tall guy" is pretty good at Nintendo games

I have my moments, but I'm probably not a threat this week, unless I get a LOT better at this game.

You made up 4 points, and I had a Golf-free weekend
I'd say I'm the winner there
Died on the boss with 6 heads.
