General:
Welcome to what is probably the most hated stage of all 118 in this
game. M1
is the Devil, and if you want good
scores you can rely to exactly 100% on an old pal of mine (not only
mine,
though), luck. Yes, you can make it into
the goal very fast by doing nothing else than pressing forward. And no,
there is nothing you can contribute to
good scores. It's all luck.
I want a consistent finish!
At least M1 behaves rather nicely on Normal Mode. Roll forward a bit,
and at
about mid-55 (you�ll see yourself),
roll onto the platform and hold forward. As you roll along, the
platforms
will converge pretty nicely and you�ll just
roll over. However, after a couple of seconds, you will be too fast,
i.e.
you�ll start jumping because the platforms
have not converged yet. Simply adjust your speed, and you can go all
the way
to the goal without jumping much.
You will finish 40-41ish.
I want a good score!
Good scores start at 9000 points, and you want to follow the WR strat
to
achieve such a score.
EDIT: As I have just read on the SMB board and tried out myself, you can get a score of 8602 easily within 2 minutes. This was posted by "z", so credit goes to him. Do nothing at the start, try to pause and unpause so that you are paused at exactly 56.40. Hold forward, press start. If you keep holding forward all the time, you ALWAYS get into the goal at 43.01, for a score of 8602. If you�re satisfied with that score, don�t waste your time hoping for that "lucky bounce"...
I want the record!
Bleah, have fun. Roll to the back-left corner of the starting platform.
At
about mid-56, turn around and roll onto the
first moving platform. Keep straight and hold forward. That�s it,
nothing
more. Oh well, you might be interested
why you can never make it into the goal if you do it like that. Well,
it�s
because you weren�t lucky enough. You
have to get those fabled "lucky bounces", you know?
So what is a "lucky bounce"? When you do this strat, you�ll get a
rather
high bounce after a couple of platforms.
This happens all the time, so don�t get excited yet. When you land,
you�ll
bounce up again (not really high), and
as you land from this bounce, you should hit the far corner of a
platform,
bounce forward and hit the near corner of
the following platform. If that happens, you will get hit up into the
air
very high and at a very high speed. That is
the "lucky bounce". Well ok, you need to get into the goal too (I�ve
had 2
failed lucky bounces before I got the
WR).
