NESfiend | 1,515 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Yeah, I tried to figure out that ladder glitch for an hour tonight. Executed it zero times. Broke halfway through to see what I'm doing differently from a few videos of it I found. No clue. I'll be getting my participation score up at some point. Trying to get good at this is every bit as enjoyable as watching Billy Mitchell hawk hot sauce. I'm think I'm done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearcat-Doug | 5,104 Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 I finally got a practice run in, but I need to clean it up since @bertsampson is probably sitting on a 600k score already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

T-Pac | 7,531 Graphics Team · Posted May 21, 2020 Share Posted May 21, 2020 Okay, so here's the method I've worked-out to consistently get the ladder-trick to work: Spoiler Go to the 5th tier of the girders (second from the top) and position Jumpman over the broken-ladder to the far right. Don't stand directly over the ladder, though - stay slightly to the left (pictures included for exact positioning - I like to line up Jumpman's right toe with the ladder's left rung). Once you're in position, just wait there for the barrels to come, and jump straight up whenever one rolls at you. If the barrel goes down the broken ladder, you should get a ton of points. If it doesn't work, try finessing your position. Good luck! -CasualCart 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have some room to work on it over the weekend. I didn't get the best rolls on the barrels at the end since it's random if they drop down the ladder or not.

The one he is using is the one I had seen in a video where someone is doing it over and over again consistently. He finishes level over 35k. Thanks for posting a clear instruction, @CasualCart. Now I have to try again! Doubt it ends well. I was using the same ladder you were and tried from all different angles. Some people have the barrell skills and some don't. I dont.

Some people have the barrell skills and some don't. I dont. I usually get around 35k so it's probably about the same no matter what ladder you use. I just use the top right one because it's the closest to the end so I can get the most chances before the timer gets too low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, it still only shows 100 points but more points are added to your score. That might be why I thought it didn't work. I'll try again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
