Season 17 Round 11 - Ice Climber

Recommended Posts

We're going to do something a little different this round.  In addition to the normal high score competition I've added a low score competition as well.  Thanks to fakecortex for the suggestion, selecting the game and putting the rules together.  Players will be awarded separate season points for the LSC according to the standard scoring chart, e.g. 25 for 1st, 20 for 2nd, etc.

 

To submit a score for the LSC, play mountains 01 through 04.  After 04 is complete, wait until the score is totaled, pause the game and take a screenshot.  When posting scores please indicate whether it's for the HSC or LSC.

 

Finally, because this is a two in one, I'm going to extend the score post deadline by one week.

Bonus Games
These are optional games where you can earn up to 25 extra season points per game.  To claim a bonus, post your final score in the current game thread anytime during the season.  Feel free to post multiple times if your score improves as the season goes on.  +5 season points will be awarded, up to 25, for every run/goal you score over the CPU.  For example, if the final score is Player 3 and CPU 1 then points earned are calculated as (3 - 1) x 5 = 10.  An additional 5 points per game will be awarded to the player who submits the highest score differential.  The bonus for Golf will be +5 season points, up to 25, for each stroke under par and an additional 5 for the best score.

Can't say I'm a fan of Ice Climber, never liked the jumping. I do like that you don't break ice when doing a running jump, really helps with the low score challenge. Don't know how much more I'll be putting into this one, too frustrating for me ?

 

HSC: 19,340 mountain 6

Beat my pb by a whopping 200 points ? Ended up winning two bonus rounds tho, which was pretty sweet. Imagine if this game had SMB jumping controls...

Did better in the low score challenge tho! Don't know how much lower I could go. What gets frustrating on the 4th mountain is needing to avoid the nitpickers (I like that they're enemies in DK Jr. as well), strategically letting yourself die so you don't get those points...and then accidentally hitting them and needing to start over again. Or just losing all your lives. Oy. Happy with this entry tho.
