^Ah,I didn't even think about that. I just used the platform. That would've saved me 3k there. I should have had a sub 100k score but I picked up some of those hearts either because I couldn't avoid them or simply didn't want to die. I think I picked up three total on the planet stages and probably another 4-5 on the toad mothership.

Also didn't switch to Blinky quick enough after the lava river area and that added 3k. Actually fell off that platform and collected it before hitting select. Also screwed myself badly in the last stage as I picked up 2 hearts and died right before I destroyed the shuttle which tacked an extra 4k on my score.

Oh well. I'd have to had a near perfect run to win anyway. Is this your favorite game ever by chance? Or you had this growing up? I can't see someone posting a score like that for a game that they hate or even just sort of like.

Either way,fantastic run!
I definitely sacrificed a few lives just to avoid getting hearts/points.

Believe it or not, this was the first time I seriously played it (I had previously played 10 minutes or so just to make sure the cart worked when I bought it a few years ago).  I heard it was a pretty tough game and thought I wouldn't be able to compete with people familiar with it, so I was originally going to just play a few minutes for a participation score, but I wound up really enjoying it.  There were certainly some tough spots, but I found it to be much easier than some of the other games in this tournament. ]]> NintendoAge 2015 Weekly Contests Presents: Bucky O'Hare http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=148749 2015-06-29T13:31:45 -05.00 bimmy_lee 94 Originally posted by: Balloon_Kid

 This is one of those games that makes me want to throw it on the ground then jump up and down stomping it with both feet. 😤😖 The trail and error method frustrates me to no end, seems like you have to already know this game. I should have started playing this one on Monday 😋


Yes, there are a lot of trial and error sections in this game that you want to memorize for a better playthrough of the game.  The crusher section during the Salave Shute stage still gives me problems.  I actually didn't have much time to practice this week, nor will I have much time in the upcoming months.  Bought a house so my attentions focused on that outside of work instead of good old video games.


The worst part for me is all the jumping. Jump, jump, jump, jump, jump. Duck, jump. Jump and crawl. The option to switch characters is a cool idea but somehow it just feels forced into the game. Nice job beating the game btw looks like Red is a wizard at this one. Congrats on the house too👍. I did end up beating the game but had to use a few continues, which made it a lil harder with the loss of the life meter through "escape". ]]> NintendoAge 2015 Weekly Contests Presents: Bucky O'Hare http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=148749 2015-06-29T12:56:11 -05.00 bimmy_lee 94 Originally posted by: cdbblw

Hmmm... 20k for the four planet bosses,another 15k for the first three mothership levels,(35k) 5k for completely taking out the shuttle,(40k) another 3k for destroying the frog shooter thingy,and another 1k for Air Marshal. (44k) Plus looks like you picked up a life bar extension for 3k (47k) and the rest of the 1.9k were 19 necessary kills for progress. Before I really did the math I was thinking a perfect low score was sub 50k.

I had no choice!  There's one on Blue Planet which I'm pretty certain is unavoidable.
 

Pretty impressive! How did you dodge the one on red planet when you have to hop on that ledge and it's like right by it? I could never avoid that one. I was tempted to try to dodge the one you are talking about by charging the jump with Bucky or even flying with Blinky,but I was too scared to try. Lol.
 
You mean when you're on the rolling green ball, right?  I tried many times to jump over it with Bucky or fly over it with Binky and failed every time.  Then I realized there was a simple solution.  Just duck.  If you're ducking on the green ball, you won't hit any of the spikes.  Once the ball starts rolling right, you can stay on it for that entire section.

Edit:  Yeah, the one where the ice blocks are being thrown is the one I can't avoid. ]]> NintendoAge 2015 Weekly Contests Presents: Bucky O'Hare http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=148749 2015-06-28T23:51:16 -05.00 bimmy_lee 94 Originally posted by: Red

Wait,I think you are talking about the one on the part where the frogs throw the ice blocks,right? Yeah,no plan for that one.
