  • I'm not the best point-racker, but I'll have to try and put up a score. Next week, I'm going to be out of town until Friday, but I'll try and get a score during the weekend.

    somebody watched a youtube video. 



    i havent been able to pull that one off.

    Actually I have not watched any videos at all! I just noticed it once when I fell between two goombas and used my tail attack. They both popped an "8000" so I was like "... I can exploit this". xD

    I think I don't get it. Are you saying after a 4K stomp, tailwhack an enemy for 8K, then stomp the next one for another 8K instead of 1UP? I'm not sure how I could do such a tailwhack without landing. Or do I misunderstand? I remember hitting two goombahs at the same time for 100+400 points in 1-2 of SMB1; are you talking about something like that?

    Exactly that, yes.



    In the air, hit a goomba, then land on another goomba.



    So...



    Jump on head > 4000

    Tail whack in air > 8000

    Jump on head > 8000



     
  • double post; yeah, I can't do that reliably. Pretty neat though!

    Haha if you insist. I usually don't like watching videos to get "inspiration" because I find that I then try to emulate someone who plays the same game day in day out and I'll just go insane trying to match their abilities. For you though, I will do this thing.

  • ^ lol i told myself 3 a.m. bedtime lil skinny. looks like im ten min early  
  • 486,450

    I've been super busy with work etc. but I just had to do this contest because Mario 3 turns 27 years old this month.  Can you guys believe that?  Amazing.  The game is probably older than a decent amount of members here at NA.  lol.  This is actually the very first contest that I've participated here on NA and it turned out to be very fun and challenging.  I didn't qualify on my first run.  On my second run I qualified and made it to the World 3 Airship.  I was on pins and needles through many parts of the run, especially any time I was near pits or lava or when I was small Mario.  I hated playing the autoscroll levels where one bad jump meant end of the run.  I was freaking out on the desert level with the sun chasing me because I was small.  I was also scared on the water levels where the big fish attack meant an insta-death.  Finally on the World 3 airship I was Firey Mario and I hit a cannonball or bullet bill ( I forget which one), and I was freaking out as small Mario.  I was afraid the screen scroll would kill me and I ran and accidentally jumped into an engine flame to end my run.  Doh!  My final score was 486,450.







     
  • I haven't been to NA in a few days, and I almost missed the first contest! Yikes! Time to get to work!
  • Dang! Died in the castle/ship in World 3. 488600



    I got complacent.



    Attempt #2 incoming...



    Same place as Ouendan, wow... So close in score, too, haha.







    Ps. Just to clarify... we're allowed to leave the game (leave Mario chillin' on the map) and come back and play later, right?



    Might get interupted with people waking up and dogs and such...

    Man I hate that guy for some reason, he was in an episode of Next Generation and he was all up on Deanna Troi I was like...GET AWAY FROM MY WOMAN BITCH.

     
  • Run #2: 1396000



    Had a pretty good run here....







    After I saw Gloves' score I wondered how the heck he got it... still wondering, haha.



    I knew I could crack 1M if I had a decent run.... Felt good to make it through the game. I knew it was possible to beat without dying, as each level isn't THAT hard... but putting it all together through 8 Worlds was tough.



    I've never no deathed this one before, haha. Never even tried. A bit scary at times. I thought for sure the Hammer Bros/Plant Bros... (Planter Bros.?) in World 7 were going to get me. A couple small Mario's in that World.

    Grats! I'm hoping to 1LC the game as well by the end of this, so I can mark it as "Complete/Master" on the Backloggery site. I love a good challenge!

    My issue is trying to sap every level for max points, I end up dying stupidly lol. I can get a good 1,000,000+ from world 1 now, but that's because I've bashed my head against it for the last few days. xD

     
  • Cool trick on the tail swipe 8000! I'll have to give it a try in a bit.
