I like how you can choose a level so that you can play it over and over and over trying to fix your timing/mistakes. It makes such a difference unlike most games where you have to work back up to that troublesome level. Of course, it stings more when you get back to the level and still mess up after all that practice.

I didn't spend much time with Wrecking Crew this week.  It's too bad I couldn't play more!

Sorry mbd. I was nipping at your score for the past couple of days. I kept dying in derp ways. I screwed up the stage pictured as well. It's not hard,but if you screw up the timing you are pretty much toast. I did get the perfect bonus once and also got a 3200 bonus for a secret item.


Oh well. I got my score on Tuesday night and I didn't really expect to stay #1. But it did take until Sunday for anyone else to beat me.

I have zero chance of beating bert's score. It's not going to happen. I could possibly reclaim second place but I'm fine with third or fourth.

I deleted the pic that was of you trying to log in to the Nintendo Network.  Your Wrecking Crew pic is still there.

Thanks.  I did get the special bonus once on that run, and I made it through one or two of the Phases that give me trouble without dying in them.   I hate 18 and for some reason 9 caused me trouble a few times.

Getting over 200k in this game isn't easy. The pace starts to get hectic by around phase 14.

It definately isn't easy.  Those phases do get crazy.  Then there is 20, which was a nice change of pace, and I did it wrong and lost a life there.  Repeating that phase was terrible since it didn't really even help with point racking.

Did you prefer this game to Ironsword?
