Hello everyone and welcome to the latest installment of the Weekly Contests!  This week’s game is going to be Yoshi.  Here are the rules:


  • 1 player only
  • Play on Game Type A
  • Start on Level 1
  • Set Speed to High
  • Play until Game Over
  • Take your picture on the High Score screen
  • Highest score wins
  • GENRE: Puzzle


The contest ends Sunday, 9/27/15 at 11 PM NA time.  Your user name MUST be written or typed on a piece of paper and be in the picture for your score to be valid.  The entire TV screen, or computer monitor if you are playing on an emulator, MUST be in the picture for the score to be valid.  No partial screenshots will be considered or accepted.  No screenshots by hitting "print screen" on a computer will be allowed.  You must take a picture of your computer monitor.  There may be instances where this will be acceptable, but it will be at the discretion of myself and the contest organizers.  Also, the use of turbo controllers is forbidden, as well as any cheat codes, Game Genies, slow motion functions, or save states if playing on an emulator.  Also, we will only be using NTSC systems for the contests.  The use of PAL systems will NOT be allowed.  Good luck everyone and have fun

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

My NES collection count: 757 games (16 to go for a full set)

Latest Purchase(s): Snow Brothers

I may give this another shot today, but this game seems to have my number. It took me 5 tries last night just to break the 2000 point mark.

If this game has your number, then I must be on speed dial!  I haven't broken 2,000 yet, but I think I'll get there soon. However, it will NOT be within 5 tries   You can do it. Keep going!

I only scored 1,305 the last time we played this back in 2013 and that was on low speed! I'll probably just take my participation point and move on to the next game.

That's going to be a tough score to beat for sure. We had three 20k+ scores last time, but that was on low speed. I'm not sure how long it would take to put up a score like that. This game is so low scoring that I think it took me around 15 minutes just to get to 2,100 points.

Somewhat respectable score update. I wish I could do better, but I think I'm done for the week.

Officially addicted to this game. Bumped my score up a bit; things get a little too crazy for me in the later levels to touch these other scores
