Highscore challenges

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Sun Feb 06, 2011 9:46 am

I'm absolutely sure. I have never even once suspected a timing difference... but now I do. The path is exactly the same and I never stop... but it doesn't work.

That trick on Peegue Power sounds like quite a mindblower, gotta try that right now.

EDIT: 5810 and 5:06 remaining on Stinky and Loof, Together Again! from WSW. Definitely possible to get 5:07 and 5820 by throwing in a few extra quick switches but I'm not in the mood right now.

You know what bugs me like heck in WSW? No way to show the score for a particular level. It does say "no new record" if you didn't beat it, so it still KEEPS the score, but on the map you can't show it.

This annoys me too. It would be so easy to do. But it must be in the files somewhere, because it knows when you beat the highscore.

Has ANYONE tried my challenge yet?!

Mixing It Up - 2940 - 4:29 remaining.

I know you have done it Muzozavr.

billy bob · Post by **billy bob** » Sat Feb 26, 2011 12:33 am

I've beaten you on this one Muzozavr.

Water, Water, Everywhere - 3320 - 4:32 remaining.

Impossible with hesitation.

Unfortunately this doesn't seem to be a challenge that's actually possible on my PC. Please count the number of STEPS it takes to get in the exit with both bonus coins.

If it somehow takes less than 111 steps (which is my result) I'll be willing to look. Otherwise, I won't bother -- it's the same timing difference between PCs that allows you to have a better score on "Welcome back, Stinky!" from WSW.

Believe me, I'm not one for hesitation, but your score on "Welcome back, Stinky" is physically impossible without a timing difference. This one appears to be the same thing.

billy bob · Post by **billy bob** » Sat Feb 26, 2011 11:31 am

Yes. 111. In fact, I can't even do it anymore (with the same method and with no hesitation). Unlike Welcome Back, Stinky, where I can still get that score.

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Sat Feb 26, 2011 12:01 pm

It's just like my 2990 score on "Gridlock": I was able to get it once and then the exact same method (and no hesitation) always gave me 2980, no matter how much I tried.

Here's mine...

WSW-Playing with fire 6380, 3:33 left.

It has a lot of luck due to the Coily's, but I managed to get 3:45 remaining.

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Sun Mar 20, 2011 8:03 am

6540, 3:49 left.

I think it's a stupid level to challenge someone on, due to the luck element with the coilys. But I did manage some coily-infested levels after all, so I felt like I needed to do this one.

By being even luckier with the coilys you could probably get 6550 and 3:50 left, but I don't think you can get much more than that... not only is the route crazy optimal, you also need the box at the bottom to be broken as fast as possible, that also takes some coily-luck...

billy bob · Post by **billy bob** » Sun Mar 20, 2011 5:02 pm

Temple Ruins - 3640 - 4:24 remaining.

Just got that. I was not perfectly optimal, so it can be potentially improved.

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 1:59 pm

5920 and 9:02 remaining on "Mushroom Grove" in WSW.

EDIT: I would also like someone to try and challenge my 2950 on "Out Of Time" from RTW. It's in World 9 of the Classic level set. I've gotten this score quite a long time ago and posted about it and haven't heard anything about someone else getting it or beating it...

Mushroom Grove - 5920 - 9:02 remaining.

It is funny that you can get three spare boxes on Mushroom Grove.

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Mon Mar 21, 2011 8:50 pm

Yeah, I noticed that too. Though one is on the bottom and won't really help you anywhere, but still...

The top two are a bit facepalm-ish, though. Thankfully for the creators, the design is solid enough for the two boxes to not matter all that much. Well, you can skip the boulder puzzle (slower than doing it the normal way, BTW) but that's it...

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Fri Apr 08, 2011 9:07 am

Here's one for the original Wonderland game. 3820 on W6L2 "Take A Long Way Home".

You will have to sacrifice a small bit of time to kill the Kaboom! at the end.

Epic bump and I don't care. This doubles as a video/audio quality test. (edit: not anymore, since I had to move them from YouTube to Dailymotion and that lowered the quality a little since I did not have the original files left.)

Here is a video of me getting 1320 points on W4L1 "Trial By Fire":

...you are amazing...

MyNameIsKooky · Post by **MyNameIsKooky** » Mon May 30, 2011 3:13 am

Godly. I would never be able to do that, the level is hard enough for me without speedrunning it.

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Mon May 30, 2011 4:12 am

When you know the route, it's actually quite simple. Aside from that short-short wait when you go back up, most of the level is all done in one stroke, so if you don't pause, most of it does not take actual skill.

FINDING the route, however, was damn hard!

I don't think you can get 1330. I mean I tried and you HAVE to wait when you get to the boxes... and then your time is already wasted. Other levels may have room for improvement, but I do believe this one is maxed.

I will probably do some more scoreruns in the future... just in a random-as-I-don't-know-what order.

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Mon May 30, 2011 8:44 pm

I really did not want to do the actually difficult levels today. So I picked a level that requires almost no skill, only brains.

Here's me getting 620 points on W4L3 "Claustrophobia":

I think this is pretty good.

The Mystery Deepens-5700

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Tue May 31, 2011 4:17 am

Got 5760 now.

I used to have something really terrible in the past, because I was just focusing on speed and did not kill the Kaboom!s. Yes, you can snatch the coins away without killing them, no joke. It was faster, sure, but not faster enough to make up for 500 points.

5700 is a respectable one, though!

Keep going.

Master Wonder Mage · Post by **Master Wonder Mage** » Tue May 31, 2011 12:59 pm

Matched your score!

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Tue May 31, 2011 1:30 pm

Well done! Keep at it!

I think it's way better to play if you have someone to play against. Right now for Wonderland I'm using LinkyNStoof scores from here:

http://pcpuzzle.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=220849
Some of them I have beaten, a few by a wide margin, some others frustrate me by 1 second only and some levels I haven't even tried to score-run yet.

Master Wonder Mage · Post by **Master Wonder Mage** » Tue May 31, 2011 4:34 pm

5780 on The Mystery Deepens!!

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Tue May 31, 2011 7:17 pm

Ooh... that's a good one -- I don't have it yet.

I'll try later...

Master Wonder Mage · Post by **Master Wonder Mage** » Tue May 31, 2011 7:55 pm

Scratch that- 5790

Muzozavr · Post by **Muzozavr** » Wed Jun 01, 2011 9:17 am

Was that by getting lucky with the z-bots at the bottom or a timesaver later? Doesn't matter, really... But still...

EDIT: Just got 5800. Got lucky with the z-bots and then it was OK from that.
