Stick around.  I'm not allowed to beat you here.
lol. i created you   

you gonna beat me in a shoot em up this year sanda? (here comes the puzzle game) 

hell, if you can beat my current turtles score, ill stick around. shouldnt be that hard for a beat um up champ, like yourself   unless you dont have the time or you never played this game before  
I changed my mind, I think I'll do an attempt or two for fun.  The problem?  Figuring out where the Konami games are.  These are actually kind of a pain to open
it all makes sence now. your a super nintendo loving dank lil cases for my games guy. no wonder! 

you know i was thinking, "pompous  tapewoRm" might be a better fit actualy

I'd say my best tracks were Rainbow Road and Vanilla Lake 2, the other 3 I know I can do better although I absolutely hate the Bowser Castle courses, especially the bullshit in BC3 which has a 100% element of luck with the wall of thwomps.

The bonus point for Super Mario Kart will be for times under 5 minutes.  I apologize for the delay on getting that finalized;  going forward all games will have one published early in the month

Hey guys, I've gone ahead and made some times on Mario Kart. Pretty happy overall, considering I suck pretty hard at racing games, and both my Start and R buttons don't work on my controller for the SNES, so I can't pause, or drift...

Total time: 5.50.63

I know I can do it. The only time I lose a life is to the yellow disc soldiers right before Bebop and Rocksteady. If I can get the drop on them, I can no death the whole thing. I never wind up with a very high score, though. Not even close to 1000, so I'll likely still be third place even if I no death it. 


The real points come from throwing the foot soldiers into the screen. 3 points instead of 1 is huge. You can also score 50 bonus points each on the bonus stages if you get perfects. That's hard to do, but if you can do it consistently, 100 points would obviously make a huge difference. There are bonus points to be had for beating Super Shredder without getting hit, as well. I played through again trying to max out the score as much as possible and I ended up with around 1350. You could probably get to 1500 if you manage to toss every single foot and score perfect on both bonus stages. Now, on hard, I can get over 1400 pretty consistently, so I'm thinking you might be able to get as high as 1600 there. This is, of course, assuming you don't intentionally point rack against Shredder or Krang.

Thanks for writing. I apologize for the delay in responding to your email during this busy time of year.
In regard to your email, it is great to hear that you have found a copy of Perfect Dark for the Nintendo 64. Perfect dark was a first person shooter game that was released in May of 2000. I personally enjoyed this game a lot during my mid-teen years since it allows for up to four players to play at one time. All the Perfect Dark cartridges were black.

I hope this information is what you are looking for.

Response I received from Nintendo customer support when I asked if they knew any thing about a black Perfect Dark cart.

Once I was able to beat it without dying, I started noticing the difference in points from throwing, slamming, or just knocking foes out. If I get knocked out of the top 3 I'll try again, but for now I think I'm done.

Originally I was going to wait until the last day or two to post my first score, but it's better for me to post early, establish a benchmark, and work on improving, as others come in and knock my first attempt out of the park. Hell, my first post only had me at Stage 6, and now I can no-death the game. That's progress!

I really enjoy SMK on the SNES, but I'm not really any good at racing games. I don't think I used the power slide at all in my times, and watching Pegboy's videos just blew my mind.

shredder stage 4. infinite spawning foot soilders. as long as you dont throw them, you could press points until you lost s life. 

stage 9(?) the starship. super krang will drop those lil robots for ever until you destroy him. 

the shredder tactic takes a lil skill. the krang tactic is easy. 

maybe, one life, hard difficulty, max points. press as many as you can w/your one life.
