arnpoly | 198 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 (edited) 116,450 Participation score I guess. I'm kind of digging the "let's pop this in Saturday night and see what I can do" thing I've got working. Edited April 11, 2021 by arnpoly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surprised I missed that before. Hes grinding away to massacre the field. Unnecessary though. My money say his first sunday score will be good enough to win. Nah, I also threw up a quick participation score when we played Micro Machines last year. Top down racers aren't my thing. I hope there's a lot of competition for Marble Madness this week. Second best NES game behind Tetris. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausden | 323 Posted April 11, 2021 Share Posted April 11, 2021 The game is a lot of fun, but also so damn frustrating. Curious what the majority have their upgrade levels at when they finish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the purposes of this competition: ZERO. And NESfiend, I don't know how many attempts that took you to get good RNG so the wrenches never appeared in front of CPU cars right as they were driving over them for 21 races in a row, but I ain't going through that kind of frustration, so congrats on #1 (assuming no one snipes you at the last minute).

I missed a couple wrenches, but I was perfect on them through 10 levels. I have found a way to protect the first wrench every time. The second one is less risky in general, but it would take a lot of luck to get through perfect. @Ausden, I only upgraded once leveling my top speed to level 2. You dont have too as Dr. M said, but my run had gone so well (i.e. missed so few wrenches), I wanted a little extra insurance that I would I complete it. @mbd39, thanks, but dont jinx it! A lot of day left and plenty of potential snipers. Edited April 11, 2021 by NESfiend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0xDEAFC0DE | 1,277 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 222,200 I was hoping I'd be able to beat the game. Alas, I've not yet beat level 20 (at least without continues). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there land mines strapped to the walls in the turns or what? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mega Tank | 955 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 117,400 Not a bad racing game. At least you don't have to worry about the super Yellow car like in RC Pro AM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NESfiend | 1,514 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Awesome! I cant believe it held up. Thought for sure @0xDEAFC0DEor someone else would snipe last minute. Tried to get a better run, but never got back there tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PII | 1,883 Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) That was serious Ricky Bobby shizz. Congrats NESfiend ! ..makes me wonder what the max possible score for this competition would be. Once you can get 2 wrenches everytime and finish without upgrading your car it just comes down to picking up the most flags possible which seems like it would be a tricky number to figure out...

See my prediction in this thread about your sunday score beating the field on the week. And see your sunday score. Either the 2nd or 3rd best score documented ever. Yeah, 3 peat isnt happening. I played around with MM today some. I doubt I can match my score from last time. Busted my ass to get that and I had a lot more time then. It is fun as hell and nostalgic for me. Ill put in a ton of time to get 6th or so with no regrets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The funny thing is I've probably put way more time into Tetris than Marble Madness... and uh, getting good at MM is significantly easier than getting good at Tetris, that's for sure.

BeaIank | 1,617 Events Team · Posted April 13, 2021 Author Share Posted April 13, 2021 Well, the last scoreboard I posted was already the final one! Congratulations to @NESfiend for securing his second win in a row in the weekly contest! Congratulations to @Dr. Morbis for taking the 2nd place and to @bertsampson for taking 3rd with his "no effort" score posted right away! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
