Originally posted by: Dr. MorbisWell I'm a bit rusty, and I only had time for two games, but I couldn't pass up the opportunity to play for score on the BEST NES GAME EVAR... so here you go - only got to 7-2 and missed a bunch of stuff, but managed 442,760:
Here are some tips for the young 'uns:
-once you've got firepower, shoot ALL rocks and rolling boulders.
-"ABS" - "always be shooting," looking for bonus items (rings are worth 2000 pts each) or bonus levels.
-Get ALL fruit, especially once you've got the flower multiplier for that level.
-Get the doll on EVERY level, INCLUDING the hidden ones.
-hidden egg pattern: fire power, red milk, ring, ring, ring, Master Higgins doll (1up), repeat (starting again with the red milk if you've already got your fire power). NOTE: pattern resets upon death and you can only have 8 men max in reserve.
-You'll get three free men from score, and that's IT, so you better get good at staying alive and hunting down those little Master Higgins dolls
Alright, I think that's it; good luck!
awesome score! but man there are a lot of secrets in this game, where and how do you find the dolls, the hidden eggs? hmm how long till you can reach it on that pattern?
