^Take the upper bridge. It's the safest way to cross over the river. You want to be as close to the edge of the bridge as possible when you make your jump to the other side and you should make it.

43,850

Sorry, Stan, I won't be able to take it.  Everyone should take their picture as soon as they get to their last life.  I think you'll be able to easily duplicate your score by Sunday night.

Stupid platforming parts!! I find precise jumping in this game harder than any of the badguys they throw at you.
Yeah, that's the worst part right there.  I don't understand how you have such a low score for that level?  You need to work the knee man!

Uppercuts baby! 
 

If you can master the spin kick, uppercuts, and knees, you can go really far in this game.

Getting the timing down on the knee attack is a real pain, but hopefully I'll get the hang of it before the week is over.

I have a hard time with the timing on the knees as well, but getting the timing down on the uppercut is pretty easy and is effective if you get pinned in a corner by an enemy.

It's a freaking breeze. And if you are quick about it,you can deliver an uppercut right when you get up from being knocked down. Works great on those pesky Chinese Abobos and the Schwarzenegger clones if they trap you in a corner.

Part point this week for me. I could beat the game prolly, but can't do any special moves to save my life, in order to rack up points like everyone else. GL everyone else!

Right now this is usually where I lose my first man. If he throws you and gets you in a corner he's a real pain.

Pretty good considering I haven't played this danged game in over 20 years:

22,080

Funny thing is, it's probably the highest score I've ever had at that point in the game, because I actually read the manual to figure out the special moves. (I only played it as a rental as a kid, so there was no manual to read.) One of the many benefits of collecting CIB

I had all my lives when I got down to here. But I couldn't do anything and I kept hitting my head on the spikes.

Totally screwed up this part and let that fat bastard get me in the corner. Once he does,you're screwed. I couldn't press the buttons fast enough to do much of anything. He'd just pick me up,punch me in the gut several times, and then throw me. I was able to kill him after I took this picture,but it was at the expense of my last life and we both wound up in the spikes. Damn tubbo.
Knee.

As long as you tell me how you got that score as I got mine from pretty much using special moves on just about every enemy,save a few. I'm guessing you got them all with special moves.

I beat the game a little bit ago and the game goes into a slow motion sequence that can't be paused as soon as you land the final hit on the Shadow Warrior and then straight into the ending. You only get about 3 seconds to take a picture before the ending kicks in, so be ready!

The uppercut works best on Abobo imo. You have to time it right though. Jump just short of him and then wham! You can do it even if you are in a pinned in a corner,like when you're in the helicopter or the house before getting to the train.Just jump straight into the air and then uppercut as soon as you land. Works well for the fat masked guy,Arnold,pretty much everybody except the flipping ninjas.
