Super Monkey Ball scores

[Kubrick]

Meh, individual level scores...I won't be bothering with those. If you practice long enough, you will get a good score eventually.
IMO, there's more skill/tension involved in arcade mode, where you need to do 30+ levels in a row without making a mistake

4. 11766

I'll try and improve overalls tomorrow

I agree with you Kubrick, but the practise mode can help your overall score anyway as I have learnt new approaches to a few of the levels just by doing the same level repeatedly.

Hey. I thought I'd just enter my scores:

Beginner Total:
173596

Normal Total:
657939

---

Not too bad on normal, but I've finally got a competition. I shall do well! Wish me Luck!

EDIT: Beat my beginner score on my first attempt

EDIT: I know I can beat my Normal score. I just got 649,000 without getting to the extra stages.

Do you guys do the short cuts and get the sweet time multipliers, or do you go through the whole series of levels properly?

[nips]

****ing Yes! It took me a little under 50 minutes, but:

BE 10 - 10440!

I'm on the board!

EDIT:

Make that - 10450

EDIT:

**10500** - I DID THE LEVEL IN 9 SECONDS. With my goal achieved, I shall now retire to bed!

I think lord cookie has given up after I wiped him out.

I'll try and improve my beginner score, and see about mastering the Normal mode.

Come on nips, you can do better.

[nips]

You know damn well I can do better. I'm on the board, now to get my Total scores up!

I think lord cookie has given up after I wiped him out.

Wiped me out?

I still have some individual scores higher than you, and I know how to beat your overall score now (I just have to be able to do it )

[007]

I was only joking dude.

How do you go about it then?

Nips, bring it on.

[lordcookie]

I know you were joking.

I go about it the quickest possible way (obviously). If I can string all my fastest times together then I would beat your score, but I cant quite do it and I let myself down on 1 or 2 stages and end up just off your top score. I am getting more consistent though, one day the highest score will be mine...i hope.

[007]

Well, i'm off to play it some more.

Good luck!

I'll stick up some scores thursday night when i'm round me mates who has it,

I know i've got close to 700k on advanced, need some expert scores as i've made it to level 21 on the single credit, have to look at the scores...

Well I hadn't played this in 8 months when I sold my PAL copy and got an NTSC one which I never touched. So I'm starting from scratch now, and am rusty.

Here are some individual scores:
BE4 11776
BE6 11230
BE9 12316

overall 179,558 (4th)

[kona]

Here's a better beginner score:
182334

And an advanced score:
751686
This is actually quite bad since I lost a life and didn't even get to the extra stages...

Hello. After lurking for a while this is my first ever post, so hope you'll be kind, for the moment anyway.

These require a lot more work but I believe they'll get me in on the bottom of the tables:

Beginner overall: 174816
Advanced overall: 644774
