That score stinks, see update below



Better late than never! I just achieved this score 10 minutes ago, and the only bummer about it is that I had the chance to beat Randy's score. I lost my only life to that green acid thing in the last stage, which made me loss 1000 points for dying, and 1100 points for losing a second. God I love that game

Oh well I gave it my best Randy, and I must say... you are the Nintendo Age Marble Madness King. I bow before your greatness lol! Unless someone else comes along and snipes your high score at the last second that is, in which case I bow before them. I maybe, MAYBE, could have hit about 176-177K, but 178k? Not this time. You are the man sir, thanks for giving me something to shoot for at least.

Thanks a bunch man! Kudos to you as well, you gave me a hard time with your 175,460 score, this wasn't a walk in the park. Actually, I had an identical score to your (yes, 175,460) before finally breaking the 176k.

Randy did a great score, but this was a few years ago, right at the moment, you can consider yourself a better player ( no offense to Randy intended ).

I gave MM one more try tonight and I improved my score slightly to 50,090. I still can't figure out out to jump that plank on the ultimate race level.

My son... gives me Helpful Nintendo Hints that are far too complex for the adult mind to comprehend. Here's a verbatim example: "OK, there's Ganon and miniature Ganon and there's these things like jelly beans and the miniature Ganon is more powerfuller, because when you touch him the flying eagles come down and the octopus shoots red rocks and the swamp takes longer." And the hell of it is, I know he's right. - Dave Barry

Got a decent controller and gave it all I had for the last 2 hours.


170,870


I made a few silly mistakes, and honestly if I'd had some time this week I'd have been a contender, my own fault for getting out of practice.

Some amazing scores guys, I'm a little embarassed with mine.

Well, I thought, why not trying a couple more games. 1 death, and again, almost over that Randy's bitch score, haha. I think this one is higher than the current twin galaxies record (but the record holder made much higher runs non-submitted). Cool fact, this was the first time that I beat the last stage with 79 seconds left

You had a heck of a score man!

I really wish I could've worked at it a lot more than I did, just couldn't make the time, this is one of my very favorite games for any system.

My two close friends bumped me out of the top three. I should have known they couldn't handle not submitting.

True, Krunch probably missed it cause for a while there wasn't any picture along with the post.
