483,800 on 7-1. Lots of witnesses in chat, damn bullet near the end of the stage nailed me. Probably could have gotten more points, but playing the safe route got me this score and this distance.

On a more serious note, I've played EarthBound today for so long, I feel all tense and mentally worn out.
Then you called your mother and felt better?

Woops! Sorry. I'm totally new to these competitions, and because I was originaly getting scores realitively close to the others before I correctly understood the rules. I figured that others may have made the same mistake.

Ah man,sucks to see you bowing out of the comps. I feel that you make all of us better gamers with your extraordinary play on so many games. At least I can say I officially beat you once,which was pretty cool to do although I think overall head to head against you I have the same record that Glass Joe has.

Thanks man.

Don't worry, I'll still be around.  Not this week, since I'm leaving today for the weekend and didn't have time to try this game, but I will definitely keep playing along!

First time entering in the contest. Definitely pissed off about the way I died though, stupid girder! ahhah



Since this is my first time, let me know if I need to post a picture of my setup. I'll probably do another run or two before this is all over.

I made it a little farther and did better at point racking than last time.  I made a dumb mistake to become small just before Bowser in 5-4 and the fireball caught me from below.

I may be in the running for the lowest score since I suck at the original Mario and haven't played it in forever, but I'll give it a shot tomorrow morning.

Ok, here is my pitiful attempt at a participation point. I actually did better than I thought I would and then a terrible stupid horrible jump attempt killed me.

I actually decided to give it a whirl. Damn am I ever out of practice though. Did manage over 150K by 2-4, but fucked up on the castle. Ah well, maybe I'll give it a whirl sometime this weekend. Gotta test out the camera my sister gave me

"It's always amazing to me how some of the most worthless games from a gaming perspective tend to fetch outrageous amounts of money. But then again, it could be said that something is only worth what someone is willing to pay for it. I'm curious if the high bidder of the $873.04 Stadium Events (cart-only) realizes that it's nowhere nearly as rare as about 20+ games I can think of that sell for 1/10th that amount?  At any rate, I wanted to draw attention to this trend: if people say it's rare, it must be true, and therefore it must be had at any price."

Any clarification on if progression trumps score as I just did this:


I was getting tired of stupid deaths,so I decided to bypass most the problems.
I warped at 1-2 to world 4,then warped from 4-2 to world 8 and finished it off. Playing the game that way sure is quick! I think I was at world 8 in about 5 minutes. I kind of speed ran it more than anything as I think I beat the game in around 10-12 minutes.

I'm not a speed run guy at all,but I kind of have to admit it was fun speed running SMB. Of course 8-1 you sort of have to speed run a bit.

Guess what... I was on LVL 5-3 with 500K points or something like that, and when I jumped on the last moving platform, I fell THROUGH the damn thing!
Fuck SMB

I really thought this was gna be the time I one lifed the games. Looks like LukeAF24 and I died at the exact same spot :/ Its a shame too bc this levels not that difficult. You just have to jump from one bullet bill turret to the next so you dont have so many buttlets to deal with at once.

599,550 I had a lot of trouble with flags on this run but nice improvement. Setting up turtle shells to kill multiple enemies is a huge boost if any body needs a tip.
