Title: Bonk's Adventure and maxing out the score.
Post by: DesmondThe3rd on April 28, 2015, 05:46:58 AM
So after working a crazy long grave, I wasn't tired so I picked up on an old favourite see I could roll over the score. Three hours later this what happened:

Damn, it never occurred to me that you'd have to use that spinning in air technique so much to maximize the score.

16:9 mode = cheating.

DISQUALIFIED
I think there's a way to switch it over if there's a way to transfer it to DVD or something like that.

It's one of the key features of the gameplay that makes it so much fun and was so disappointing in the sequels when it was capped too low.

Anyway, the most efficient way to max out your score is in this forum's high score thread. Just get beneath a bird in the bouncy cloud area, let the game bounce you into it until it stops giving poits, grab the 1up and jump in a pit to your death. Repeat.

That is some dedication here.  Good job.

I remember doing it as a kid to earn 1ups easier but then I wanted to go all the way and see what happens.

That's a good strategy but I may have been accused of excessive leaching and my score would have been DQ'ed.

Thank you, I got worried near the end there.

Nice, sadly I ended the run once I hit the score.
