asponge Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 After some consideration I've modified the remaining season titles list. Wrecking Crew and Donkey Kong 3 will be the last two rounds. I've decided to remove Excitebike because the only fair competition would be to only play the challenge tracks and I think it'll be tedious to have to continually reset the console to race each track. At this point in the season I don't think that's too big of a deal. The bonus games will be open for four more weeks if anyone else wants to jump in. Game Rules: Start at Phase 01 Manual Score Post Deadline: Sunday July 26 at 11:59 PM CDT.

jblenkle Posted July 14, 2020 Share Posted July 14, 2020 Wrecking Crew - 79,700 Another fun game I've never played before. At least the score stays there when it goes into demo mode. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted July 22, 2020 Share Posted July 22, 2020 I love Wrecking Crew. I like how you can choose your level so you can practice before going for a straight run. Or you can decide to play it one and done puzzle style and check off the levels as you go. I like the puzzley 1-up system (which is often more trouble than it's worth); although I am proud to have figured out phase 1 on my own, it is pretty necessary to use a guide for other levels. I like the golden hammer (and it's terribly convoluted system of getting it, along with other crazy doll bonuses). Seriously, if you haven't checked out guides about how to calculate that, it's worth scratching your head over. I like how the golden hammer stays with you through future phases until you die. And I like the bonus levels, even tho the one time I found the coin on the first try and scored a 10k super bonus, is sure to be my last. Pretty much, the only thing I don't like, is this... This is me on phase 12. Trapped in a drum. Because of Spike. Grr. Just patiently waiting for a fireball to get me so I can start over. After all, I had like 6 lives left, so cool. Waiting...waiting...fireball...ok, here we go. And it passes right through me. Yup, when the manual says, "you have to start all over again from the beginning," it doesn't mean the beginning of the stage. It means the beginning of the game (or rather, from 0 points). It's an instant game over. SMH. I've gotten to phase 13, but my new high is from 12 (thanks golden hammers!). I spent more time putzing around with extra life and prizebomb challenges than focussing on a high score, so more from me to come I hope. 120,400 phase 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
