Hello everyone and welcome to the latest installment of the Weekly Contests!

Aw shit, y'all, I can tell it's once again that time,
For yours truly to unleash another Bimmy rhyme!
The game of the week is the awesome Marble Madness,
Oh shit, I think I just heard all of you NES geeks shriek out “YES!”
Lots of people think this game is tons and tons of fun,
Especially the pros on NA, whose skills will not be outdone.
Let's get a roll call for all these awesome pros,
Damn these guys are so good, they could play the game with only their toes!
You've got Randy the Tall Guy, who kicks a lot of ass,
And the legendary K-HAN, who's at the top of the Marble Madness class.
And then there's also the one and only Mog,
Whose incredible scores show he is this game's top dog.
And last, but not least, we have my favorite Frenchy, the immortal guillavoie.
And you sure as shit know he means business if he says “Dare you challenge moi?”
The object of the game is not really all that tough,
Hell, you could all probably pull it off in the buff.
Whoa, whoa, I kid, I kid, I don't want to see you all nekkid.
So put your clothes back on because showing off your junk is something I forbid!
Let's get back to the discussion of the simple gameplay,
Cuz I don't want anyone to think you nude dudes are super gay.
All you have to do is get your marble from the start down to the end,
And I think that's an easy concept for all to comprehend.
The object of the game is to get the fastest time in a race,
But beware of all the obstacles that you will have to face.
From other marbles to acid to pit traps too,
Man, who the hell thought this would be such a challenge to get through!
You can get a good score if you get a magic wand.
Yo, don't look at me, I think it is just randomly spawned.
Look, I don't know how it appears.
Although I'd probably know if I hadn't drank so many beers.
There isn't much more about this game that really can be said,
So maybe you should just go play the game instead.
Now it's time to go to your game shelf and select Marble Madness,
And fire it up in your good old N-E-S!
I've been delaying the inevitable for all you gaming fools,
So here are the Weekly Contest rules:


1 player only
Choose whichever control style you want
Play until Game Over
Take your picture when you get a Game Over, or, if you score high enough, on the High Score Screen
Highest score wins
Participation: 20,000
GENRE: Arcade


The contest ends Sunday, 2/26/17 at 11 PM NA time.  Your user name MUST be written or typed on a piece of paper and be in the picture for your score to be valid.  The entire TV screen, or computer monitor if you are playing on an emulator, MUST be in the picture for the score to be valid.  No partial screenshots will be considered or accepted.  No screenshots by hitting "print screen" on a computer will be allowed.  You must take a picture of your computer monitor.  There may be instances where this will be acceptable, but it will be at the discretion of myself and the contest organizers.  Also, the use of turbo controllers is forbidden, as well as any cheat codes, Game Genies, slow motion functions, or save states if playing on an emulator.  Also, we will only be using NTSC systems for the contests.  The use of PAL systems will NOT be allowed.  Good luck everyone and have fun

I am getting a lot better as I can consistently get to the last race but that last section of it is a nightmare.
 


At least you got participation.

Yeah, that last section is the tougest part of the game for sure. It still makes me nervous, especially when I get there with a potentially huge score. Then I just know that I'm going to fuck it up.

I would be satisfied just beating the game. Whether I do or not,who knows but I can definitely say that I will not be able to touch any of the monster scores that have and will be posted.

I am not sure if this score submission works. I am having a hard time taking a pic of this screen hence the 2 pics. 1 as a partial, 2 as a just get to the scoreboard attempt.

Hey now! I only got my hands dirty with goomba blood because the new kid got comfortable with his 2.6 Million score while he could break 3 Million!
I had to force his hand! Otherwise he would lose to Skinny that is 99% likely to post a 3+ million score at the last minute tonight!  
And there is also erizisto and Red. Kiddo shouldn't be comfortable like that!

I'm gonna try my best, though I'm not too confident. Then again I said the same thing about SMB3 lol. I don't have the time to play more Mario, as I'm now spending the day with my wife, so I'll land where I land on that LB, though I plan to give this a go (for the first time ever!) tomorrow.

You can get a good score if you get a magic wand.
Yo, don't look at me, I think it is just randomly spawned.

Bravo bimmy, these two couplets made me laugh out loud

Thanks. I had some really good runs in most of the races. I think I had 61 seconds to start the ultimate race. I got to the last part fairly quick but kept screwing up. I finally was able to muscle through it and cross the finish line with 3 seconds left. The score sucks,but hey I beat it at least!

I've started playing, and put up an ok score. Participation at least! I die so much though I'm sure even if I beat the game I'll land on some super crap score... Working on it though! Definitely wanna finish that last level at the very least.
