NiGHTS

When NiGHTS was released, I wasn't into games nearly as much as I am today. Because of this, NiGHTS never really caught me. I enjoyed it as a short, colorful Sonic Team game. This year, however, I decided to pull out Christmas NiGHTS, which then resulted in me being amazed at just how damn good the game was for score competition.

Rules: Simply post your highest scores for each stage. As far as I can tell, Twin Seeds is exactly the same for both characters, so there will only be one Twin Seeds list. Also, you are allowed to have either a selected boss or a random boss.

jp brings the thread back from the dead, and completely dominates while doing so.

What about the boss option... Should it be set to random or one specific boss for each stage?

The bosses seem to be a more personal thing than anything else. I can quickly own Jackal, but Gillwing gives me trouble, for instance.

Heh, how about that... Right under... rules... Right... where... it... should... be. Whoops.

do what with the bosses now?

I'm no stranger to NiGHTS, but I never did learn to actually play it. I'd just cruise through to see it all, and typically score with C's. This thread should be just the thing to school me in The Way of NiGHTS :D

Well, assuming you've beaten the game, if you look under options, you'll find that you can select a boss to fight after each level, or leave it at random. I'm basically saying that it doesn't matter. So, choose the boss you can own the fastest.

On my new NiGHTS save-file I haven't yet played TwinSeeds with Claris, so maybe that will uncover it. ..the only Options I'm seeing are: SoundTest, Audio, TVScreen, Nightmaren, SelectDiary, 2Pvs

Yeah, you'll need to beat Twin Seeds with Claris.

Now, the general idea to getting high scores goes like this: get the Ideya as fast as you can, and collect as much as you can before returning to the Ideya Palace. Repeat four times, and beat the boss as fast as you can to get the highest multiplier possible. Oh, and don't run out of time. Doing so makes your score reset.

My new scores:

Splash Garden - 184380

Stick Canyon - 125160

Mystic Forest - 154140

Stick Canyon is a pain. I actually ran out of time on the final course. Thankfully, I got a 2.0 multiplier on the nightmare...

*Sticks a rather large boot in.*

Spring Valley - 432,660 (2.0 Boss)
Mystic Forest - 310,530 (1.8 Boss)
Soft Museum - 412,460 (2.0 Boss)
Splash Garden - 432,400 (1.9 Boss)
Frozen Bell - 432,930 (2.0 Boss)
Stick Canyon - 271,860 (2.0 Boss)
Twin Seeds - 130,340 (2.0 Boss)

I must admit, it has been a while since I played this fantastic game. My internal memory battery died and I lost all my old scores. So I played through each level once to unlock the choose boss option, and then had another go on each level. This is the result.

Eh? Boss option?

Well hey, if putting Puffy or Reala at the end of every stage is fair game... :evil:

Yup! It's in the rules. I assume you're now going to pound my scores into the ground?

:sweat:

Edit: Do you think it would be a good idea to note the boss multiplier along with the total score? Make it optional, but it gives a good indication of how close people are.

Mehbe, since I was averaging 1.3-1.5 for the bosses on most of those scores. :D

But I doubt I'll be picking up NiGHTS for awhile now. I have Langrisser Tribute to plow through not to mention Jewels of the Oracle coming in soon. :D

Sounds like we're roughly level if you ignore boss multipliers. This could make for a close contest! I'll watch most eagerly for activity in this thread...
