If we ever play MC Kids it will be 20 pages of Big Mac vs Quarter Pounder. What about the Royale With Cheese? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it's kind of like LaRosa's is to the Cincinnati area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloves | 11,840 Administrator · Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 I just went to play a game and realized - I've had Yo Noid paused for like 2 days and just forgot it there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're really getting the retro "this game doesn't have a save feature" experience that way! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearcat-Doug | 5,105 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 (edited) @mbd39 Have you ever played the Famicom version of Contra? It's got some cool extras that weren't in the US version like background animations, cut scenes and a Ghosts N Goblins style map between levels. The ending is a little longer too. Here's a good description of all the differences if you haven't played it. https://tcrf.net/Contra_(NES) Edited September 6, 2023 by Bearcat-Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd39 | 2,030 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 (edited) BTW, is it possible to always get the highest bonus in the first pizza eating contest? It seems no matter what strat you use there's a chance that the rng will fuck it up and make you lose a bunch of points.

Yeah, you get 10k if the other guy doesn't eat any pizzas. Doesn't seem always possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't seem always possible. I don't think it's possible everytime since you can only beat the 4s and 5s if you picked up the 2x multiplier, the pepper and the hot sauce. If the CPU draws all of the 4s and 5s, it's tough to get the shutout since you really need that 2x multiplier for when they draw a 1. If they draw the 5 and both 4s, you need to use the multiplier to block one of those which makes it tough to get a shutout.

I just now saw that the rules said to stop at stage 6 and I can probably make it that far. It's certainly doable, and I've left a few points on the table from not shooting the scrolls (10 whole points each), and not using certain speedrun strats that are hard to nail (100 points per second wasted).

The worst part was figuring out the hitbox for bopping enemies. It's not that bad once you know what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got a full run in, but you still have me beat by 6000 points. I might give it another shot over the weekend, but I doubt I'm winning this week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
