I do hope you're not looping the 1st level over and over. By your description I'd assume not. Here's what I got looping the first level. It might be good idea not to allow looping in future contests because I could do this all day. 211,000 Edited August 23, 2021 by Bearcat-Doug Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about the same as the Mario Bros contest where you could roll the score by jumping in the same spot for 8 hours which I think 7 people actually did for some reason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a hilarious nine way tie for first place in the Spartan X 2 contest because almost everyone maxed out the score point pressing. https://www.videogamesage.com/forums/topic/7437-vgs-nes-weekly-contest-spartan-x-2/ Edited August 22, 2021 by mbd39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I did for my 55k level 4 score. This last time I just wanted to see if I could break 100k on the first level and I got bored and quit at 110k.

We're you using the same spot to squish with elevators consistently? Close to the end of the level so you can reset easily, and they funnel to beneath you.

Then it was just loop and repeat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
