If you can beat all 100 levels with 5 lives, you're a god, lol. I never see this on lists of hard games, but a 1cc would probably be much harder than beating Battletoads. Tom freakin' Votova reached level 75 in the 2012 contest.

That's really a 'just in case' rule, cause if someone can beat them all you don't want him to start over.

I was just thinking about what an accomplishment it is to 1cc this beast. Apparently it takes 4 hours according to another contest thread.

I'm probably reaching my limit of how high a score I can get in a few days. The difficulty shoots up fast so I shudder to think what the later levels are like (I guess I could just try them, heh). If I can hit around 200k with my current methods  then I'm done.

4 hours?! Wow. I don't think I'd have the patience for that. I like the game....but not THAT much.

4 hours of a game like this would be mentally exhausting.

Doubt it.  This was an Ambassador exclusive, unless they've released it since

After way too much grinding, I'm done. I think I got about the best score that I can do. Have fun, everybody.

You have to make sure you're pressing exactly the direction on the controller or you'll accidentally fall of ladders and such. This can lead to some cheap deaths, especially when using a PC gamepad.

I'm glad you mentioned this!  I recently upgraded my launch Ambassador 3DS with a New 3DS XL and Wrecking Crew carried over.  That will help me practice!  Looks like Wrecking Crew is available in the eShop for purchase too.

I still want to do my "official" run on console though.  The VC version retains the high score unless you do some shenanigans to do a hard reset.  Thus it will be impossible to prove that any score was made this week if played on the 3DS.  I know this contest relies on the honor system, but it's worth bringing that up just in case.

Scored 97,800 on my first try.  Shooting for a respectable score at least!

Well, since my 3DS is my only option this week, I can probably provide a "before" pic to prove that my existing high score is one where I couldn't figure out how to beat level 1

You can do a hard reset by powering off the 3DS when Wrecking Crew is running.  Actually you can just go back to the home screen from the power down screen and that works too.  The before pic is the cleanest way to prove your score, but you don't need to convince me.

Let me know if this doesn't work. Took it after I died. 

123600


-------------------------

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Ferris pass out at the Let's Play Gaming Expo last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

Oh, my WTB thread is very popular. The sportos, the motorheads, geeks, sluts, bloods, wastoids, dweebies, Richard craniums - they all adore it. They think it's a righteous thread.
I'd also like to add that I've got my father's gun and a *scorching* price guide for aftermarket Nintendo games.
Between Dragon Warriors and nothing... I'll take Dragon Warriors - for any of my FT/FS/FO items.

I did the same. Starting a new game and taking a picture of the top score is the easiest way to get a picture.

I'll have to do that because trying to get a photo of my 3DS isn't going to be a quick thing

I'm hoping to finally make top three this week. Waiting to see how Brock, guts and bert do. Fortunately skinny isn't into puzzle games.

You couldn't use the letters in this contest anyway. There are ways to point rack and maximize score in the earlier stages but I can't discuss them until the contest is over.

I also suspect that like Ironsword this isn't the most popular NES game.

Paperboy got a bunch of participation because everyone grew up with it.

I know exactly what you are talking about and don't mind discussing it here,but since you don't want that information revealed I will refrain from saying anything. I can say that it's not hard to figure out.

I generally don't like puzzle games,but I don't mind this one. Maybe it's because I don't really see it as one.

And that music! It's only one song but damn it's catchy as hell!

I haven't played Wrecking Crew in a long time, but I'd have to agree with you. I'm a lot better at Burgertime so I might be a bit biased.
