I did go through all the danger rooms and while you can't farm them,I tried to shoot as many of those little blue things that crawl up from floor for as long as possible. You'd be surprised how many points you can get from doing that. I know I missed a lot on the 4th stage because I was more concerned about not getting powered down than points. The 4th stage to me is the toughest one due to the cramped playfield. Plus the lucky stage entrance is hidden. The 4th and 5th stages should have been switched.

Oh yeah, that's a good spot. I had a feeling I wasn't shooting enough of those, so that makes sense. And I totally agree that Stages 4 and 5 should have been switched.

I copied Guts' idea and also snapped a screenshot of my score at the very beginning of Stage 1 of the second loop.

I lost interest in this game.  It has been awhile and a suck at this style of games.

Give it a little practice, it actually gets really predictable and extremely easy once you power up and stay powered up.  The final power up phase even lets you get hit 3 times before knocking you down a level.

Just barely snuck into the one million point club. Got stuck with the pea shooter on the fourth boss and got reamed, coulda been an awesome score.

I can't believe the Legendary Wing's Millionaire Club has grown to 8 members now!
Been away for 2 days and will do my best to dethrone Balloon_Kid before 11pm tonight, but I don't think I have the gaming prowess to do so.

Trying to eek out a few extra blue pods from the Danger Zones along with trying to farm extra eyeballs on each level's final boss (without losing a power up) is proving impossible for me. Not to mention I think my "B" button on my NES controller is getting destroyed.

One other place I'm missing out in points is the first stage with the flying stone heads. I know it's possible to get them all - but have not been able to yet.


I'm having a ton of fun this week being in the hunt. (was utterly destroyed last week at Duck Tales). 
Here is the Unofficial Leaderboard so far...

1.   Balloon_Kid:               1,207,900
2.   CLAYB1RD:               1,182,500
3.   Commander Santa:    1,136,500
4.   gutsman004:              1,120,200
5.   BilltownSparty:           1,119,200
6.   ookii_risu:                   1,087,500
7.   BriGuy82:                   1,078,300
8.   khog143:                    1,002,100
9.   bencoffeehall:               769,400
10. fatalfuryspecial:               66,800
11. TheDuffy5:                       10,200


...I think there were 2 other scores, but I believe there needs to be a screenshot of the score to count?

Will more people post scores before the 11:00pm NA deadline?
Will the Leaderboard positions change before the polls close?
Will bimmy's avatar finally get to use the restroom?

All of these questions will be answered tonight at 11!

Definitely revisit it. It's a pretty cool and undertated game. I would give it another go round,but I've moved on to Puzznic. Plus the top scores aren't really that far apart,so it's just a matter of killing a handful more enemies on each stage and/or farming the eyeballs on each boss. Meh...I think I'll take my million plus no death run and call it a week.

Not even close to being back to back. Busy week + personally weak genre = participation point.

I don't hate it at all, really. Even though I sucked hard at it, it seemed fun for how much I played. I'd like to put more time into it in the future.

Good scores everyone this week, and congrats to Ballon_Kid.

I tried and tried, but could not top your score this week. 
Well done.
