Here we go...

Stage 1:

Jumping on 5000 points platform = 30.000
No crash car- 50.000
Repair Station = 30.000
(Optional) Perfect landing at the end for 5000

Nobody talked about the repair station, so I'll explain it.
When you're about to ran out of Gas in a stage, a white\blue thing appear on the route. It is likely to appear when you have 8 gas left. It is tricky to catch cause you don't have much time to react when it appears, and you drive at 150 km\h minimum to get it.
When you get it, there's a LONG animation that simulates a car checkup. I wondered what was the point of this, until I realized that every time you push the 'A' button, it gave you 1 more Gas. So, you could boost in gas by mashing the A button fast. I was able to get between 270-310, plus there's an extra 50 at the end of the repair sequence.
Consequently, you get a lot of extra points at the end of the stage.

Average point after stage 1 = 110.000


Stage 2

Jumping right on the bridge wall = 25.000
Repair Station = 30.000
Crashing cars here and there + bonus at the end= 10.000
(Optional) Perfect landing at the end for 5000

My trick to land right on the bridge was to figure a visual spot on the side graphics as a cue to jump. Always at 240 km\h.
Ex: When the first '!' appears, jump when you're at the second blue building you pass by.
(Graphic are very consistent in this game, so when you have a specific side graphic, the cue spot will always be the same throughout the stage).

Average score after stage 2: 175.000

Stage 3:

I guess not may players figured out where was the 5000 spot in this stage. Remember the houses at the right of the stage. When you pass on them and jump very near the limit of the house land, you get 5000 points. It was not possible to get them all, since when two house land were contiguous, it was impossible to jump and land for the other house. Long story short, I memorized a pattern where I could get most of them (12 max). It was difficult to get every possible 5000 points for each house cause the jump timing was hard to master. I managed to get 8-9 of them in my run. Then, I tried to get to the repair station bonus, but for obscure reason, it has not appeared on the route, and I freaked out and crashed my car.

This = my 220.xxx score.

Otherwise, I was aiming to finish the 3rd level with something between 250.000 - 270.000 points

Voilà!

Now I see why your the champ

But this was so sketchy to pull that I did not tried it in the stage.

Or, you might have had to land in the space between the barriers. I'm not sure how I did it, but I got the bonus once on accident when I landed really close to the barriers. ]]> NintendoAge 2011 Weekly Contest Presents: Bump n' Jump http://nintendoage.com/forum/messageview.cfm?catid=31&threadid=51727 2011-06-20T00:47:43 -05.00 bimmy_lee 46
