This week, our competitors will have to show us all their brain power to solve the mysteries of QUARTH!!! The rules for this week are extremely simple: Play 1 player Start on Area 0 Pick the ship you prefer. Play till game over If you beat the game with more than 100K points, reset the console and beat stage 1 again. Your score will be on the hi score. Highest score wins Genre: Puzzle The contest ends Sunday, 05/09/21 at 11 PM VGS time. Your user name MUST be written or typed on a piece of paper and be in the picture for your score to be valid. The entire TV screen, or computer monitor if you are playing on an emulator, MUST be in the picture for the score to be valid. No partial screenshots will be considered or accepted. No screenshots by hitting "print screen" on a computer will be allowed. You must take a picture of your computer monitor. There may be instances where this will be acceptable, but it will be at the discretion of myself and the contest organizers. Also, the use of turbo controllers is forbidden, as well as any cheat codes, Game Genies, slow motion functions, or save states if playing on an emulator. Also, we will only be using NTSC systems for the contests. The use of PAL systems will NOT be allowed. Good luck everyone and have fun. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeaIank | 1,617 Events Team · Posted May 2, 2021 Author Share Posted May 2, 2021 And here are the Battletoads rules for you all to start practising: Start at Ragnarok's Canyon Lose all your lives till you have 0 hearts. Once you have zero hearts, take a picture to prove you are starting with zero points. You can use a gamegenie code to start with 0 lives Using the gamegenie code puts you at disadvantage since one of the enemies won't take the other out while you are going for 0 lives. Play till you reach 4 extra lives or you lose a square of your energy bar You can get hit as long as that hit doesn't consume one or more squares of your energy bar. This includes any situations that causes you to immediately lose a life If you are hit in a way that causes you to lose one or more squares of your energy bar, your run ends. Pause the game and take your picture. If the space invaders aliens take your energy away and you don't recover it, your run ends right there. Pause and take your picture. Your 4th extra live will be gained once you cross the 400,000 points threshold. Pause the game as soon as you break 400,000 points or reach 4 hearts. 1up power ups counts towards the 4 hearts limits, so avoid getting them at all costs After being reaching 400,000 points, reaching 4 hearts or losing an energy point, add the stage bonus to your current score: Level 1-Ragnarok's Canyon - 0 points Level 2-Wookie Hole(Impact Crater) - 15,000 points Level 3-Turbo Tunnel - 30,000 points Level 4-Arctic Caverns - 45,000 points Level 5-Surf City - 60,000 points Level 6-Karanth's Lair - 75,000 points Level 7-Volkmire's Inferno - 90,000 points Level 8-Intruder Excluder - 105,000 points Level 9-Terra Tubes - 120,000 points Level 10-Rat Race - 135,000 points Level 11-Clinger Wingers - 150,000 points Level 12-the Revolution - 165,000 points Level 13-Dark Queen - 180,000 points Your final score is current score + stage bonus score Highest score wins. The use of stage warps is not only allowed, but encouraged. So yeah, proof that I am so evil, evil is made of me. Good luck. 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mbd39 | 2,017 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 That is a good challenge for Battletoads. I know you must have spent a lot of time on these rules. The main thing that bothers me is that someone could take a picture of starting out with zero lives, reset, and then play with all their lives. There's really no way to prove it, and it's beyond annoying having to lose all of your lives and then take a picture with every restart (and there will be a lot of them). There's plenty of time to iron out the rules though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's plenty of time to iron out the rules though. Losing all lives at the start of the game warrants that we will only see 4 hearts at the hearts containers when you reach 400,000 points. This is a way to prove that you started with 0 lives and didn't pick any 1 up power ups along the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does this proof depend on taking a picture at the start of the run? If not then is it really necessary to do so? I'm still trying to wrap my head around this rule set.

But since the cap is 400K points or 4 lives, which happens first, I guess I could get rid of the part of taking the picture at zero lives. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'd recommend getting rid of it if possible because this is kind of an insane challenge that will require a lot of restarts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's more for folks who already know the game well and even then it will be a crazy challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0xDEAFC0DE | 1,277 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) 377,215 Second attempt after figuring out how something works a bit better. I'm not sure how much time I'll have to up this with Survivor going on, but I imagine this will not be challenged. 190,987 Yay! A fun puzzle game. My first full attempt.

0xDEAFC0DE | 1,277 Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 FYI, if you beat the game with over 100k you can't see your full score on the top left. So, you have to reset the console and play the first stage to get to the stage clear screen. Then your full score will show next to the hi score.

I've never played this game before, but I'm gonna give it the ol' college try... EDIT: Okay, this game is fun, but a full game from level 0 takes forever, so I don't know how many times I'm gonna go through that this week. Anyway, inaugural score: 35,645 EDIT 2: I don't know how deep you dived into the code to figure out how to get a score like 190k codeman, but it took me to level 7 just to double my score. That being said, I do suck pretty hard at puzzle games: 68,165 EDIT3: Man, almost made it to the last level. Still some work to do: 163,397 Edited May 4, 2021 by Dr. Morbis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeevan | 8,909 Events Helper · Posted May 2, 2021 Share Posted May 2, 2021 I like this game thus far! It will be long though @Dr. Morbis that's for sure, im only on level 3 and my god my finger hurts from pressing the shoot button lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
