    There, I finally broke the fucking 170k barrier and it only took many, many, many hours of practice.



    Well done, Mbd!!!  

    *pom-poms* You can do it. You can take 1st place!

     



    Well let's see. To get that score I got to the ultimate race with 99 seconds left and beat it in 25 seconds. If I could figure out how to beat it four seconds faster then I'd get a much higher score. I doubt that it's going to happen, but who knows.





     





    170 is a top 8 lock. It would be cool to see someone hit 180k.

    Heck yes, it would be pretty awesome to see someone break 180k points.  

    Don't count on me to try that, though. Gotta leave to those people who are good at videogames and this to try.

    IF I post something, it will be a meagre participation score.  



     



    I can't imagine playing this with a keyboard. You need a good old NES pad for this one, where your thumb can easily slide around the small directional buttons and hit diagonals.





     



    I completely agree. An NES controller is the way to go! Now if only I can mimic your score....

    177,870 - Guillavoie the Great

    175,460 – BriGuy82

    174,460 - SONIKtheHEDGEHOG

    170,870 - the tall guy

    160,150 – KHAN Games

    158,590 – scaryice

    157,490 – Vectrex280996

    143,290 - etrainstyles

    137,130 - arnopoly

    136,320 - arch_8ngel





    Now everyone's a genius at the game and getting over 170k? What the fuck, man?





    We are a lot more competitive this year I guess... And it seems that we have a lot more people this year with less room for extra points (top 8 instead of top 10)

    Good thing I only spent 30 minutes of my life getting a participation score.



    Seems like I could have put in hours beyond hours and still got the same amount of points.



    You disappoint me! Maybe you just need some mac n cheese and Molson to achieve the glow!

     





    Everyone has games they are great at and games they suck at so you make concessions accordingly. 



    No way in hell I'm hitting 170k this week and therefore have a chance at being competitive but that's okay. I beat the game and that's fine with me. There are other games I'm a lot better at and I'll focus on those. 



    Calm down there Gutsy

  • 141,780 - huge by my standards. Bunch a savages on this site when 140 plus doesn't even make top 10. One of my favorite games - would love it if one ofor the 170 guys uploaded a video. I just can't figure out how that's done. Is there a bonus for losing zero lives?

    That guy is way better then me, but basically it comes down to good wands and speed. Yea, this is one of the more competitive weeks I've played. Top 8 right now is so tight and we still have like 3 days to go...

    The main thing is being able to reach the ultimate race and have 99 seconds for that stage and beat it in 25 seconds or less. The quicker you can beat the last stage and the more seconds remaining at the end, the more your score shoots way up. You also need the extra points from jumping off track in the first stage. And lose few or no marbles. Basically be quick and don't die.







     
  • It will be interesting to see who comes out on top this week. Going to be razor thin margins here.

    I wasn't doing the jump on the first stage. Thanks - this helped a lot. Only got one wand, so a second would have put me close to the 170 champion mark.

    Edit: had issues with the first upload, but new score is 156, 340
  • Man, Santa will have so much material for an epic update this week.  
  • Got 174 finally. I'm not sure 175 is doable for me. I feel like I'm already cutting razor thin times pretty close to perfection. I know there is a few seconds to be had here and there though.

    And Greg knows all kinds of shit about things being razor thin.

    Ah,u b talkin' bout meh weenur!
  • Hmm... maybe this can be doable with 3 or 4 shots of 180 proof absinthe, since my usual one shot of rum didn't help at all.

    I will try it tonight.
  • Score update on page 1 (176,250). Oh man! what a week this has turned out to be! I guess I love week 2s... It looks like the leaderboard hasn't been updated in a bit, but I think the top 8 is now 165k+

    Awesome score! Now I wonder if anyone will hit 180k before the week is over?

    Nope. I punch things that can take it, like concrete walls rather than flimsy monitors or TVs.
