I keep on getting irritating fire wand mazes. Also, I am finding a lot of cruelly placed invisible coin blocks. XP I actually found a sky area so hit blocks and go in the sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koifish | 595 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Just now, Avgn Gamer said: I actually found a sky area so hit blocks and go in the sky Sky Area seems to reward risk with more coins. I think I like ground area the most however. Also, I keep getting thrown off when I recognize sections from levels. Jumping for the 1-up on 1-1 keeps getting me. I did, however, find a 1-up; It only gives you 8000 points however, nothing useful for this challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was playing SMS emulator for @Red's multiplat contest, and I thought I had the same buttons configged for the NES emulator but I was hitting turbo-A instead of A.

RH | 5,227 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 I played this a couple of times on my Analog Pocket and got to 11, but I wasn't trying to hard. I'll try to get a score in. Hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TDIRunner | 2,913 Posted December 19, 2022 Share Posted December 19, 2022 Last night I was playing on an Nt Mini on an HD TV with a wireless 8BitDo controller. I'm wondering if there wasn't just enough of the tiniest bit of lag to mess me up. I'm going to switch to original hardware on a CRT with a wired controller tonight to see if that can improve my chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm playing on my NT Mini on a CRT, with a physical cart, and an original NES controller. I love how the cart's lights change in tune with the Christmas music in the game. Oh, and zero lag. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first run was with the N30 and I noticed immediately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suggestions welcome - smg looks like a lot of fun I am not sure what mapper this is but it's likely 30 or 111. Try these on for size and throw them in the POWERPAK folder on the root of your CF card. http://forums.nesdev.com/viewtopic.php?p=236715#p236715https://forums.nesdev.com/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=16631 If you need additional (power) mappers, check this thread out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am not good at this game. I'll spend some more time with it later, but I wanted to at least get past the Grinch's number (as of this writing). Playing with Everdrive on Nt Mini.

TDIRunner | 2,913 Posted December 20, 2022 Share Posted December 20, 2022 I finally found one of these long underground parts that lets you go on and on, and then I end up getting killed by a Bowser in a question block. At least I'm back ahead of that crusty old @The Grinch @ZeldaFreak If you would prefer that I just update my original post, let me know. I'm up for whatever is easier for you to track. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Updating your original post will make the thread a bit less cluttered later on, but like I said either is fine. edit: Also, typing out your distance in your post whenever you update it helps a bit too, since I will admit some of the submissions I've had to really squint to tell what distance you guys were at, including this one, haha.

Out from the Gloves there arose such a clatter But this Grinch had nary a concern on the matter I'd wager all-in Gloves has no knowledge of The GrinchThe Grinch with that terribly smelly face stenchFor when asked if ever had he seen the cartoon, The cartoon with the Grinch and the Whos who are loons He answered and he said He said it and I mean it Yes, he answered and he said it...
