TWarwick07 | 122 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) Hot Take Jumping over fire balls on the rivet stage is one of the hardest things to do in NES gaming..... Also why do the fireballs on that stage look different?? I prefer the ones on the first 2 stages Edited May 23, 2020 by TWarwick07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True indeed Doug, I'm currently in second with 300K but I got that on my first run of the day, I'm stuck around 175 every try, seems like now that I know how to jackpot the barrels they don't like to go down the ladder as often Edited May 23, 2020 by TWarwick07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously the best case scenario is to get to loop 9 and burn all of your lives jumping barrels and then finish out your run on the last one. If I didn't have good luck on the first three loops before the speed picks up, I'd just hit the reset button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the event I'm stuck in a corner and have no choice, I wait until they are moving towards me and then try to jump. That's about the only sure way to jump them without landing on one.

The only way I can feel safe jumping them is if they are passing over a rivet , they don't seem to hesitate when that are passing over one and you can jump over them plus clear the rivet at the same time, I can almost never clear one on the girders.

Once they started moving, I don't think they turn around mid move. I rarely try to jump them unless I don't have an option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Bimmy even used the girl holding up the "Bimmy isn't even a real name" sign as his avatar for a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully Bimmy comes back and signs up over here someday so he can see the contests are still going strong. Even @rdrunner has played some this season! I'm Probably going to take some time off after this week, but it's great to see all of the contest legends that are still involved!

0xDEAFC0DE | 1,277 Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 (edited) 440,400 (LA) Finally got to level A. I only lost 1 life before L9 (in a stupid way too) so I had 2 extra lives to point press the L9 barrel stage. 363,000 (L9) I have no clue where this came from. Had two earlish deaths too 166,000 (L5) Didn't have a whole lot of time is week so just starting to play now. Luckily, this game came up a couple weeks ago during survivor, so I have one day's worth of experience. I got 108k then so already off to a good start. I had known about the barrel trick but couldn't get it to work (was trying to not move after going up a ladder).
