I don't have the skills for that one, so I think whoever masters that (along with everything else) is going to get a tidy victory... Point-scum?

0xDEAFC0DE | 1,277 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) World 1 Clear: 119,570 As promised, here's my no point pressing world 1 clear. My gaming room still isn't set up yet, so I'll be on emulator for a bit. Edited March 18, 2021 by 0xDEAFC0DE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Morbis | 2,088 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 (edited) I'm going to post this for now while it still looks decent, but I can do a lot better if I get some time on the weekend. No point pressing on 1-4 and 1-6 because I ain't got the skills, and I accidentally killed one of the koopas in 1-3 early on, so that level was botched too, but I'm at 632,320: EDIT: Score update, don't have it in me to hit a million... 971,150 Edited March 20, 2021 by Dr. Morbis 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docile tapeworm | 4,198 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 @Dr. Morbis i think you should try point pressing instead of point scuming 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NESfiend | 1,515 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 If this were a world 1, stage 1 competition, Id be killing it. This run was sadly cut short due to stupidity, but it gives me some hope going into the weekend. I get stage 1 amd 2 strategies. From there, I cant figure out where to point press. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

acromite53 | 337 Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 Oh boy. I was going to attempt a score today. But instead I'm playing the game: did my console die or ac adapter die? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look how pee-colored y'alls deserts are on world 2! I like my pee colored sand! I'm playing through an older el gato and it dims the screen a bit so I have to kick up the brightness, otherwise it looks fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if everybody does it, it is no longer scummy, no? How in hell could you have a SMB3 contest without hurting your wrists hopping on turtles' shell for minutes straight?

PII | 1,884 Posted March 19, 2021 Share Posted March 19, 2021 (edited) Here's a go...: World 1 Complete: 258,320 World 1 Complete 265,410 I couldn't use my usual tube because the frame obscures the score... so I tried #2, (flat screen) with my Retron 1 = pic looks like trash and the score is still obscured by frame/pitiful display... I tried tube #3 last night only to have a constantly flipping picture..... Hauled out tube #4 today (that's the one normally reserved demo-ing NES consoles) then I remembered it doesn't have RCA hook-ups.... Was about to dig out an extra NES and co-axial it but decided to give #3 another go. Lo and behold, the picture is not flipping and the score is visible; Hazaaah! I never dreamed that just trying to playing Mario 3 would be like this... Edited December 3, 2023 by PII Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BeaIank | 1,618 Events Team · Posted March 19, 2021 Author Share Posted March 19, 2021 Current scoreboard posted. Also, you all who have been posting score updates in a new reply would help me GREATLY if you instead edit and update the original score reply with the new score and post that you updated your score instead. It is a lot harder to tally the scores when you have like 5+ different scores posted around the thread. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I asked about this earlier but no one responded so I figured it was ok. I’ll go back later and edit my posts to make it easier on you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
