NintendoAge 2016 Weekly Contests Presents: Wrecking Crew

Hello everyone and welcome to the latest installment of the NA Weekly Contest : Wrecking Crew. The story goes like this :



Once upon a time, there was Billy Lee, the youngest son of a humble peasant family living in a far, far away kingdom. There was also a game called Wrecking Crew, and Billy Lee was very good at it, like really really good, better than his twenty-seven brothers, better than his old father and even better than the King. Living in this kingdom was also Bo Abobo, but he was very bad at Wrecking Crew, like really really bad, and he was jealous of Billy Lee's talent at Wrecking Crew.



One day, the King decided to held a prestigious Wrecking Crew tournament, and pick those rules to be followed :

  • Play until Game Over

  • You must start on Phase 1

  • You cannot earn any extra lives.  You can only use your 5 original lives

  • 1 Loop only (100 stages)

  • Highest score wins

  • Participation score : 25,000

The winner of the tournament would have one wish granted by the King. Bo Abobo was determined to win the tournament at all cost, and he knew he had to cheat to have any chance at beating the young and heroic Billy Lee. But, Bo Abobo was even worst at cheating than playing Wrecking Crew, and it was pretty obvious during the tournament. So the King decided to hang him after the end of the tournament.



Billy Lee won the tournament in an epic battle against Tom Votava, a battle that was so epic that I can't tell you without making it less epic, so we'll skip that part of the story, okay? Cool! When the King sacred Billy Lee best Wrecking Crew player of the seven worlds (did I told you there was seven worlds? Well there was, and this story was in the world where Wrecking Crew is important, like serious business important), he was so hasty to hang Bo Abobo that he forgot about the wish he promised to grant. So, Billy Lee halt the King in his lynch mob party, and said 'Can I get my wish already bro?'



The King felt like a fool and was very embarrassed by his error, like really really embarrassed. So he paused the hanging procedure and asked Billy Lee to make his wish. Billy Lee said : 'I want you to save the life of Bo Abobo, and to marry us on this very day'. The King was really confused at first, like really really confused, cause what Billy Lee wished was like two wishes and not one. But, Billy Lee reminded him that the last time he won a Wrecking Crew tournament he forgot to grant him his wish, so that he owed him a wish for this tournament and another for that other tournament. The King verified in his Royal Registry, and Billy was right. In fact, the King had such a backlog of wishes to grant to so many peasants that he feared for a moment he would be the one hanged, so he quickly changed the subject and granted Billy Lee's wishes. He married him with Bo Abobo and held a grand feast in honor of their wedding.



In a clear lapse of judgement, the King decided to give Billy Lee and Bo Abobo half of his kingdom and way too much money, like really really too much money. So Billy Lee and Bo Abobo lived happily ever after in their half of the kingdom, and had many children, like way too much children to handle for Bo Abobo.

  • Skinny cheats man he confessed the other night to me over a bottle of Jack Daniels.......Then he wanted to do all this weird shit I don't even want to talk about.
  • The rule against extra lives must be to prevent point racking. I had to look it up and you get extra lives by finding hidden letters.
  • I might sit this one out this week. I will have busy nights this week due to... stuff. Pure, chaste and innocent stuff.

    I guess you can't do 1up loops then because you pretty much have to break everything to advance,whether there's a letter behind the wall or not.

    I was thinking that it's possible on some stages to get the letters for a 1up, kill yourself, and keep doing it, and that's why 1ups are banned. So that is incorrect.

    That's the main problem, you can do this forever. Or, you can subconsiously be playing more carelessly once you got the 1up and know that if you die you'll just grab it again. Plus, it makes a run more quick and more challenging to play with only 5 lives.

    Yeah, no need for all that literacy and that narrative logic, Bimmy's trying too hard I think

    Thank you man! If we're lucky, that Bimmy jerk will be totally impressed by the superior quality of my storytelling and will just disappear in the air

    Thanks for the nice word, I'm blushing now. I promise I'll be back at posting some scores at some point, to be honest, I never once said I was retiring, I'm just on a very, very long break, haha.



    But I should post some 'asshole special mod' scores before the end of the season.




  • The nice thing about this game is that you can keep replaying levels until you figure them out. Phase 9 took quite a few tries.



    I'm trying to avoid looking at any Youtube videos or hint guides as it would totally spoil this game.
  • Indeed, solving the levels is a big part of the fun, it's better not to spoiled it. Maximizing points in level gets tricky too at some point.



    This said, you guys should dig the thread of the first Wrecking Crew contest, there's some important info about how to get the super hammer.
  • Well, I'm very likely tasked with beating another NES game for the Survivor thing this week, so my obligations across NA are now at complete max.  SO YOU'RE WELCOME SKINNY. No more 3rd place prince for you
