Anybody who still plays, I ask a favor.

Could you please...

Select Practice Mode
Stage 3-2
Do your best.

Tell me your total HIT count at the end of the level (make sure you look as you kill the last enemy).

Thanks!

15 Yellow Diamonds brings you to the max of 50,000

1000
1500
2500
4000
6000
8500
11500
15000
19000
23500
28500
34000
40000
46500
50000

TOTAL = 291,500

If you get hit, you start back at 1,000

50,000 X 15 = 750,000

This is the amount of points you would get if you weren't hit.

750,000 - 291,500 = 458,500

Getting hit costs you 458,500 Points!

Now, lets say you get hit, make it to 19,000 but get hit again. Obviously your going to lose even more points!

Agh, you make it look so painful! I should dig out my N64 again and put some more time into this game.

Damn F-Zero GX for eating up all my gaming time!

like OMG it's MrMonkeyMan, can i have your autograph?
F-Zero's still taking my time, i'm beating it on the last difficulty for emerald and diamond. Slow child here.

Back on topic, I really want to get this game.

I really want you to get this game!

The equation for the Yellow Diamond bonus is..

t(n) = 250n^2 + -250n + 1000

This doesn't include the 50,000. It seems they just wanted it to end at 50,000 because technically it should really be 53,500

I finally got around to buying another copy - got it from Toys'n'Joys, so thanks for that link. And then, quite some time after getting the copy, I finally started practicing again. I wanted to get a score higher than the one Valgar has posted... and here it is! ^_^

70,909,447 - 2555 HIT - 46:36

I wasn't doing so great during the beginning, first got hit on the Armed Volunteer Base before the Crab Seemer (^_^'), kept getting hit quite a bit in 1-2, and got hit halfway through 2-1. But it seems I got enough HITs (as opposed to getting hit) to make up for it. I got hit a lot later on too, but that's normal for me. Then I got nervous glancing at my score near the end and missed a few Scarab Seemers.
