I don't care for the controls either. They are the most frustrating part of an otherwise fun game. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same boat there and I thought I was the only one that couldnt get into it. Always kind of figured one day I would, but seeing all this, seems like thats not in the cards Edit: if skinny doesnt like a shooter, the odds of me liking it are of the lottery winning variety Edited April 17, 2021 by NESfiend 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd39 | 2,017 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 SMB3 is okay. It would be better if it had battery saves. I just hate playing it in a one life contest for high score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NESfiend | 1,514 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 (edited) Had my first 3 wand game. Near midnight Saturday was not the best time for that to occur. Blew it hard. About half an hour before that, had my first one life run, but no wands. Cant complain about rng though. Had my shot Edited April 18, 2021 by NESfiend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had my shot The timing of the wands is also a factor, in my opinion a pre-drawbridge wand on Beginner race is optimal as your first one, but an intermediate race one after that might not be that good, since you cant/won’t bank every second after the 30 second add at the start of Aerial. The ultimate draw would be: pre-drawbridge, then right before the hand things at the end of aerial race (gives you time to think/do an easier run across), then Silly race after the +3 second monsters and preferably after the birds to cool the pressure. This seems like wishful thinking but at least in my experience playing these are “lucky spots” 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnpoly | 198 Posted April 18, 2021 Share Posted April 18, 2021 168,260 I'm super happy with this run, don't think I've even gotten 160K before, let alone this close to 170K. Got a Beginner wand and died once in Practice (lol), Beginner, and Silly. This was on my 4th or 5th attempt. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I finally no deathed it and went down in score. Felt like a pretty mistake free run, but only wand was on 3rd race (got one other useless one on silly with 95 secs on clock). RNG on that has been brutal this afternoon. Need the RNG I was getting after 8 bud lights last night with my current sober status. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NESfiend | 1,514 Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Well I am the ultimate doofus. Got wands on level 2 and 3. One death through 5 levels. Tried to pause at the beginning of ultimate w/97 seconds on the clock when my kid yelled for me. Apparently failed. Came back to game over. That hurts.

The less you depend on wands for high scores, the better. You're getting there. Man, I was hoping that somebody else would break 170k but the contest isn't over yet.

Jeevan | 8,909 Events Helper · Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 114,410 Got a nice little score, but horrible really . Managed to beat it the other day after about 7 or 8 tries, not all high score enough @FireHazard51 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another day I think Id get there for sure. I figured out this morning I was using too much gas on the end of ultimate. The floor generates at the right speed that Im better off not using much gas there. That has eliminated a lot of my deaths. I will get another hour in if Im lucky when my son gets down. Tough way to finish but it was fun and Im really looking forward to kung fu 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah for the most part you don't need to hold A in the last section. You can't make the floor generate any faster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
