Here's my first submission. I have to concede that while I think this game is about as perfectly designed as a game can be, I'm just not that great at it. I might beat this score (by a marginal amount) since I'll most likely play again due to fun factor. This is sure a lot stressful than 1-lifing Mario 3.

Side note, is anyone else having trouble with the font size on NA? For some reason I can't get it bigger using the Size dropdown box and I usually do this to make it easier for bimmy. Any help appreciated, thanks

EDIT: new score below, old score 135,000

When posting, click "Source" in the upper left corner. Then add HTML header tags around your score (<h1> score </h1>. You can use h1, h2, or h3 (they get smaller as the # increases).

Aaargggggh.....was doing so well and then had a really stupid death on the barrel level. At least this is enough to crack top 10 for a bit but I could have asily gotten to 5th or 6th place this time.

Thanks gutsman!

Wheee I finally joined the 300k club. I started losing my sense of timing and had my fate sealed by a trampoline. The silly barrel deaths didn't help, nor did trapping myself in the rivets stage.

290300 score update.

Has anyone else witnessed the phantom latter in the barrel stages? I've only noticed it when grandpa Mario has his hammer. A barrel will be headed his way destined for a 500 point death when all of a sudden... Hey there's no latter there! Wtf?

It happens every so often as will a barrel rolling off the edge of the screen.

Thanks guts! It's nice to have some people to share scores and thoughts with. Even if we aren't in the same room, its bringing NES people together I like that.

Amen brotha! I'm a night owl,so I'll definitely be awake when you are....and probably when you aren't as well. Lol. Didn't improve my score but I did work on timing with the springs. I really don't die much there anymore. What's getting me now are the zig zag barrels and especially the fireball bird things on the rivet stage. Seriously,why two different types of fireballs?

We're still 19 short (as of right now), but there's still the rest of today and all weekend so I think we can get there.

I asked the legend himself if he would be interested in posting a score to help us get to 53 participants, so hopefully he gets a chance to play a few rounds this week.

Good job! I haven't had a chance to play any today, but I probably need a break based on how lousy I did yesterday.
