new score below, old score 402,220

Bah, so close to bert's score. I had a silly pink crab death, but on this run I also had a ton of lucky near misses.

Here's what Kobra will remember...

kobrai kai - wins - Five

sandafloor - wins - T.... Wait a second, they call this guy "the prodigy", he must have more wins than that........ Two. Two wins?! Impressive.

Only one win that matters

How's Mario Bros. going? Crack 200K yet? 100k? Can't let a guy who plays for half the week beat you. I believe in you skinny.

And you definitely can't let the guy who played 45 minutes unofficially beat you either!

Keep thinking skinny. You can have my Palamedes score if you can beat me at Mario Bros.

This game doesn't seem to get any harder after phase 15 or so but, it sure is nerve wracking as fuck after I get to that point.
Also.... I don't have nearly 400k at phase 40! I need to be more consistent with the bonus levels I suppose!😱

If you look closely enough you can see an asterisk in the one

Tier 1 - 631,130

Played right when I got up this morning, didn't even have a cigarette first...that is usually out of the question for me. This was my first run of the morning. It is always very disappointing to die in this game.

Based on what you guys are saying I think I'm safe to advance to ~~Tier~~ Round 2. But...I still don't feel done with this game.

Yeah even missing just a single coin in the bonus levels costs you 5800 points...a miss each time over 40 phases would be 8*5800 = 46,400, minus 2000 for the smaller first bonus = 44,400. Not significant...but the main levels are an even more significant source of points.

This game makes me feel like a friggin' idiot. I've beaten some tough NES games, but I can't even get 100k for tier 1 in Mario Bros.

Well safe to say mbd isn't going to beat that (sorry man). I ain't going to beat it. Nevermind, everyone else but bert. So yeah, I think you're safe.

I would like to beat bert, though, or at least I'd like to roll the score. Never mind that this game is incredibly fun and once I'm done playing competitively I probably won't pick it up again for a few years...the co-op mode sucks too.

I probably won't even progress to round 2. I'm average at best at these arcade games, and you guys are amazing at them. Nice score, Krunch.

My score is pathetic, but more runs will hopefully pay off! Anyone have an enemy they dislike so far?
