Well, turns out those were the final standings!

I think that having to take 4 pictures actually drove people away from this, but SMB3 will be back and we will run these rules again. They seem to have worked pretty great.

The 3DS virtual console is perfectly fine for this.

I don't think so. I will try to review them tomorrow and post the final standings.

We need to keep things fresh, so new ways to play classic games need to be found for the contest. And I am very aware that we don't have the same free time we used to have 10, 15 years ago to play in the contest, so whenever possible, I am trying to keep things fast.

Current standings updated.

This is exactly what I hoped for. People min maxing everything in those 4 stages! Fun times!

The pictures are showing as black squares for me @Murray

Fixed it. Yes. Start of phase 20.

Yes. Bert dominated the Balloon Trip mode, but in the main mode it was really close in the 2019 tournament. This game is a lot of fun.

Glad to have you back! And that you are enjoying the rule set. I have been trying to find new ways for us to play classic games here that are fun and fast to do.

It is all I could come up with that wouldn't revolve around turtle hopping and squishing goombas over and over and over again. You can record the gameplay instead if you prefer!

Right now the only game I get to play is iRacing because I can drive one handed on my sim rig. I hope I can get back to them soon.

You can get normal toad house. But no N spade card for y'all. Only coins acquired inside the 4 stages are valid.

It would be much worse if we were playing for score with all the turtle hopping going on.

I will defer the final decision to @guillavoie but if it is a screencap of a stream of yours, it is good on my book. But Gui has the final word here.
