Gloves 10,352 Administrator · Posted March 28 Share Posted March 28 Just now, docile tapeworm said: @Gloves I’m avoiding hoping that turtle after it whacks the gumbas and bounces off that set of stairs. I don’t know how pure I’m supposed to be running this. I could get another 300? Points hoping on him once more. I do the same, personally, trying to be as pure as I can about it. There's a turtle on level 1, 2, and 3 you can do this on, so I limit myself to basically "if the wall didn't exist...". 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I either miss a pole jump or lose my Fire Power in 1-4. But, 108k feels within the realm of possible if I could ever find more than 10 minute sessions to play. This' why I am focusing on rules set like this this year for most games. Even if you are short on time, you can put in a quick run for a score. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same. if it comes off the wall I don’t mess with it again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No hopping. See my post at the top of p.2 if further clarification is desired. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NESfiend 1,339 Member · Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 (edited) Damn, not sure how @PII is doing it. Either way, thrilled to put up the first score of 2023. And the turnout is awesome so far! 121,950 Edited April 3 by NESfiend 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plenty of time for runs between diaper changes, right? ...unless maybe there's runs in the diaper changes.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only one in diapers and that one actually sleeps hard. Shockingly lucky. I should be able to put up a formidable score here and there barring any sleep regression 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesRobot 5,118 Events Team · Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Score updated. 123,100 Might be able to squeeze a few more points but there's no way I'm catching @PII. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH 4,221 Member · Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I don't understand where you guys are getting these points. My best run knowing what I currently know might be able to break 110k. I know I miss points not going for some coins and even some 1k items, but if I go for too many of those, I know it's gonna hurt the clock. When this competition is over, you guys in the lead need to post some videos if no for the sake of curiosity alone. With out turtle-hop cheating, I can't imagine getting 140k. (Not calling y'all cheaters. I just don't see where the points are coming from.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m at that 110k range with my current strat. Ole glovesie figured it out a bit. Keep looking. Keep playing. Sometimes it will smack you in the face. Some guys will reveal their secrets at the cost of everyone knowing for future contest. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
