Deteacher Posted March 7, 2009 Author Share Posted March 7, 2009 (edited) I just posted them in the Game Settings section in the first post. Thanks for the heads up. Also, point totals are updated. I still have to go back and add a couple points for the best tips, which might shift a couple names around, but the leaderboard is now current up to this week.

aftermac Posted March 7, 2009 Share Posted March 7, 2009 I would like to suggest a +5 points rule for honesty. I believe my season total should be 58 instead of 63. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackjack Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 That's a little better. 75,300 I checked my dipswitches and it was on medium before, though I honestly can't say a could tell what the difference was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+SpiceWare Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) 89,800 I surprised myself by finishing a level w/out shooting DK to the top. Some research turned up that you have 2 ways to finish a level, shoot DK to the top or shot all of the insects.

Blackjack Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 (edited) I didn't know you could finish a level by killing enough insects...... thanks for the tip! I only ever got kong to the top or got killed in the process. Update: 97,200 There are little fast blue insects that start about this level that are a serious pain! If you let them get level with you, they shoot over and kill you. I've seen them at level 6, but at level 7 they get a lot worse. And don't let kong get too close to the bottom of the vines, he'll jump on you. I thought he probably would, but this is the first time it actually happened. It's possible to get your ddt cannister right before level 5 ends and then you can keep it long enough (if your quick) to clear the next 2 levels with it.

Dr Galaga Posted March 8, 2009 Share Posted March 8, 2009 Some research turned up that you have 2 ways to finish a level, shoot DK to the top or shot all of the insects. Yep, but do it before the timer runs out. This is not an issue on the first two screens of every level, but on the last screen you have to watch it after you get through a number of levels. Also, at that point you start to have to watch because the Creepy's will start to come down the sides to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
