RedShell Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Beaten by 2 coins...Well-done. I haven't been able to top my last record on W1-1 yet... Made a quick vid of what should have been my real Coin Rush record (40708): Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I'm at 650000 coins in total at the moment, with a score of roughly 24500 in coin rush mode. I've not used the 'infinite shell' trick in coin rush (the cheater's way ), but I've taken advantage of the gold flower and invincibility stars in 2-4, followed by the stored gold flower and hundreds of blocks in 1-2, then finished off by getting another couple of hundred in one of the towers. I've also tried using the mega mushroom in 1-2 (which gives you the gold flower back for the third level), but didn't end up getting nearly as many coins that way. The other mega mushroom level that scrolls with all the gold blocks in is also a good one to have as your second level, but 1-2 still gives you more chances for coins. I don't think I'm going to get much higher than the score I have, though, as I can't see myself getting higher than the 4400 - 4500 I usually get in 2-4 (including flagpole), or uncovering any more easily reachable coin stashes in 1-2. Now, do I go on for the million...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShell Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 I've not used the 'infinite shell' trick in coin rush (the cheater's way ), I'll have you know, Miiiiiiike... that my Coin Rush record without using the 1-up trick was over 26k anyway, so "cheating" only got me an additional 4k. So there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serebii Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Now you need to get 10,000,000 coins. There's apparently something for that too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Retro_Link Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 That has to be one of the worst rewards ever! If they're going to bother to acknowledge such a time consuming achievement they could at least do something worthwhile for it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grazza Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 I'm sure RedShell did it for fun. He didn't expect Penelope Cruz to pop out of the 3DS and do a striptease! Or did you, RedShell...? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedShell Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Not much of an achievement for hours upon hours of coin collecting is it though.I suppose not. Better than nowt though. And like I said before, just playing through the game is rewarding enough for me. I'm sure RedShell did it for fun. He didn't expect Penelope Cruz to pop out of the 3DS and do a striptease! Or did you, RedShell...? Expect?... No.Hoped?... Yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dcubed Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 @RedShell @lostmario @Serebii A new challenger enters the ring! OH GOD! There's a reward for 10 million?! How far does it go?! That makes 1 million look quaint and obtainable by comparison Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FireMeowth Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 OH GOD! There's a reward for 10 million?! How far does it go?! Considering the counter only goes up to 10 million (or, well, 9'999'999), I'd guess that's the final reward. (Or maybe there's another one for when you've maxed both the coins and the score counter? Somebody get on that!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RedShell Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 A new challenger enters the ring!Wowzers! 8720?! Very impressive. That can't be the usual Gold Mario + Goombas rinse and repeat thing though, surely? Unless you discovered an additional time extension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dcubed Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 (edited) Wowzers! 8720?! Very impressive. That can't be the usual Gold Mario + Goombas rinse and repeat thing though, surely? Unless you discovered an additional time extension. It is... with a subtle time shaving technique that adds up surprisingly quickly TBH, it was far from a perfect run. I only gave it 4 attempts (from not even knowing how to get 8000+ to netting that score you see above) and I reckon that 9,000+ is pretty obtainable...

Blade Posted September 1, 2012 Share Posted September 1, 2012 Ive just got this game and had a quick go. On W2 now so only just basically started. Really like the level design so far especially when you can fly to platforms above. Reminds me of SMB3. Not really got how to get loads of coins yet. Unlocked coin rush mode and had a quick go but only managed to get about 700 coins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just beaten my old top score by 3 coins.. maxing out the old tactic. What is this 'subtle time shaving technique' you speak of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's just say that the Goomba stack at the end of the level doesn't need to be onscreen in order for you to hit it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well that's worrying then, because I knew this already but I still can't get over 8000! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
