Edit my previous post with new score of 5,241,200.

Died because I was a little trigger happy and moved right into a bullet. Tried to finish the game and ended up losing due to two more stupid deaths, oh well. I could have done better but I'm happy with my score.

Earlier in the week I was able to complete the game on one continue (4 deaths I think) and ended up with a score of 6,456,200. Then did a couple levels in the special world and ended up with 6,635,200.

?

By that I guess you mean you added your Continue score to your original score?

That still doesn't make any sense, with score not propagating across a continue.

Okay I see that I was misleading in what I wrote. That score was with no continues (no Game Over screen) but 4 deaths since I picked up some extra lives along the way.

OK.  Yeah, your original post said you used continues, which was why i was confused.

oh my freak, this game is like riduclously frustrating when you are doing so freaking good. Just to get killed by either not knowing what to do, or making some stupid mistake. For me the former was the one that actually caused the most grief. On the level before this one, four knights come at you from all directions, with well placed obstacles that ensure your death until you just mindlessly commit the pattern of the knights' movements to memory. Still good, just easily frustrating at times.

What I meant was that the rules stated that you should secure your score before going into a boss battle, where you can't see your score. I forgot to do it unfortunately. However, I died at the boss without having a game over, and l snapped a pic of my score right after the boss battle. The boss battles do not affect your score at all so the score I posted was exactly the same as the one before my ill-fated boss battle.

If it matters, I recognize the level he is on, and the life-count and score both makes sense.
It is immediately after a time-score-only level that forces a 1-up, so a single death after leaves you with 2 lives, assuming no other pick-ups --- and it is two levels past my 5.8MM score, so the scoring makes sense, if any of that was in doubt.

Thanks for your support. I put a lot of energy in to this and I would feel disappointed if I would be disqualified! The score can be seen and if nessesary I can put a zoom in! Gr.

From the picture alone, I don't know if I would have picked out the score accurately, but with a known score attached to it, I feel like I can decipher it.

I didn't mean to imply that you were.  I just wanted to say that, as a competitor, at least, I wasn't contesting the score.

I checked out the picture and it looks like everything jives, so his score is okay.
