Super Mario Bros.Follow

Yup, the classic. The first one that came out on NES way back in the day. My first video game I've ever owned.(and I've been hooked ever since!) I still can hum the music for most of the levels!

When I was a kid, I can remember people talking about getting 9,999,999 points (or whatever the cap was, I pretty sure that was the highest) But as hard as I try, I could only get up to about 4 million.

What was the tactic used to get so many damn points? Anyone ever do it?

Zorn

Probably so, the turtle on the steps but I can't remember if you had to do this on a certain world or not. It's been soooo long but I'm positive you can get it that way, even if the timer runs out you're gonna get 99 lives just let it run out,die,come back and repeat.

Yea, it's like 100,200,400,800,1000, 1up?
Something like that, and I'm almost positive you're still getting points as you're getting 1ups.

Hey Zornov you should try Mario 3 till you're this good

Yea, where he gets a ton of one ups bouncing off bullet bills and cannon balls on the ships. A co-worker showed me that for the first time, it was damn impressive.

My jaw literally dropped for the entire duration of that video.

If it's genuine, that kid is some kind of god. Or addict. I'm not sure which.

I think you would bounce on a shell infinite times.. that's the only way I've seen someone get so many points. Sorry if that's already been posted.
