Corey,

I posted your score to the leaderboard, but I can't tell if you were using an emulator or not (it's not allowed this week).

Was this score off of your NES?

I know what you mean , i die in the strangest places and somehow tough through harder parts like floor 4 and 5

I love this game. It was one of the first games I ever beat and one of the two games I got with my first NES. Can't wait to post a score (I may actually be competitive this week as well).

Yeah Santa, it is on my top loader. I don't even really know how to use an emulator. Does that console have to be in the picture?

No.

I just saw the keyboard, and it looked like a PC monitor in the pic.
I don't know how to use one either.
Just wanted to make sure you didn't get bumped by the judges on the weekend.

That is my keyboard, because I use my monitor to game. I have all my consoles hooked up to it via an hdmi splitter. I can post my next score with a pic of the console to clarify.

No need man. 
I know you and you are as honest as they come.

I didn't know if you missed the part of bimmy's post where he said no emulators this week.

Hopefully a rdrunner will appear this week and see if he can improve on his 3.1 million point world record.

I'd love to hear some strategy on getting a score like this. I've played this game about half a dozen times now. Here's what I've learned:

(1) Punch for more points
(2) Kick when in trouble or needed
(3) Don't die

#3 is the tough one ;-)  Seriously though, I wonder if there are any tips or tricks that folks can share on this one. I have already about doubled my participation score, but will keep going. Game on!

He posted a highlight video of his run on YouTube that you might want to check out. It's full of great tips!

rdrunner's tips are fantastic!
I'm having doubts if I'll be able to roll the score. Effing Magician!

PSA:

If you jump kick the 12th enemy on each level, its worth 5000 points.

Proven to work!

Can't be any enemy, has to be a grabber!

Was hoping to break a million last night,but I started getting pretty tired and kept making dumb mistakes. Won't be able to play until thursday,so I'll have to wait on that million plus point run.

New score! More than doubled my last one. Just wanted to show people that those tips work well, though I can't seem to get the 5000 point bonus on the 12th enemy very often. Keep screwing it up. My goal is to break 500k by the end of the week.

The 12th man trick can be tricky and can also get you into trouble,especially on the higher loops.

For anybody that has not seen this yet...

Here is a video from Bishop Bros. (8-bit bishop here on Nintendoage) and the Nintendoage trophies he was commissioned to make by LukeAF24 for the Nintendoage Championships.
Luke generously funded the last 2 trophy builds himself, but NA is always looking for more donations (either monetary or game related) to keep this amazing tradition alive.

Top three finalists in each division have recieved these one of a kind trophies in the last 2 championships.

PM either bimmy_lee or guillavoie for more details if you'd like to donate and keep this tradition going!

Check out this vid of Bishop Bros.' newest creations for last seasons champions below!
