    I tried again last night, got to 5-4. I'm assuming we aren't allowed to use warp pipes right? I think I could go a bit further if we did.

    You're correct HC, no warp pipes.

    And for a friendly reminder: this months competitions ends in just under a week. Get those entries in folks. Even if you don't come out on top in this round, you may get points which carry through the entire competition until the grand champion is named at the end of December.

    I guess I will do this. Last time I played I only got to world 4-3. I can smoke world 8 no problem (years of warp pipe practice) but getting there is a whole new story. Now I just need to dust off the ol' NES because that is the only real way to play this monstrosity!

    Also, I have starcraft and can't play it for tit in multiplayer but that isn't going to stop me from attempting a zerg rush on some poor individual before I lose.

    6-1 kicks my butt, that's my record since we started and I'm not playing through the first 5 worlds again, so if anyone goes past that, congrats, you are a better marioer than I, and I salute you.

    I found I had to keep restarting because I kept unintentionally using the first warp pipes to world 3 (world three has always been my favorite world, I feel like it easier to farm for coins.

    my final records

    1. 6-1
    2. 6-1
    3. 5-4
    4. 5-2
    5.4-4
    6. 4-4


    those are the ines I remember.

    Good luck to all of you! (someone beat the game plz)

    Died at the final stage. This will probably be my final score.

    Right. I should have attempted this long before now but as no-one has beat this yet then I will have to show you all how it is done. I ate, slept and breathed this game when I got my original NES

    In exactly 12 hours from when I post this, I will return from band rehearsal and proceed to kick the arse out of this game. I will not fail... so anyone who is attempting to top Ultima Shadow's current commendable effort... you have exactly 12 hours.

    Your time starts... now!

    EDIT: My rehearsals was cancelled so I had plenty of time to whiz through this when I got back. See post below!

    Good word you all are making me feel small time.

    If I'm feeling it I'll give it another shot but I don't think I'm going to get much farther than I have previously.

    Unusually for someone on forums, I'm actually rubbish with computers so there's a chance that me posting these pictures won't work... lets see...

    Victory is mine!!!

    EDIT: Nope, can't do it. I'm such a pleb. Completed the game without using warps and got a score of 726850. I took a picture on my phone and now it's saved to my Mac Book. It says it exceeds the limit for me to post it. Anyone got any ideas?
    Just press the "Print Screen" button on your keyboard to take a screenshot, then open paint or some other image-edit program and "CTRL + V". Then save image.

    If you want to go with the phone picture, then you can always scale down the picture and/or upload it to an image-hosting site such as Imageshack.

    Cheers for that Ultima, managed to scale it down in the end so it was small enough to upload. Thanks anyway, it should be there for all to see now

    Last chance for entries folks. Tomorrow I'll be announcing the winners and starting the February thread on Wednesday, so if anyone wants to take one last crack at it, today is the day.

    I'm going to try and get at least one or two more runs at this challenge in this evening. Don't know if I'll be able to get to world 8, let alone beat the game, but I'm going to give it my best.

    Can I just confirm something?

    Are we just counting scores up the end of the normal difficulty setting? Once you complete the game then (rather annoyingly) the princess sends you back to the start of the game for a more challenging quest. However, your score is carried over and you can attempt to beat the game again.

    Are we allowed to just keep going until we die or are we just stopping at the end of the game the first time round?

    I think Bubba wins.

    Also, the more I try this, the worse I get. I'll give it a final shot tonight but I'm not holding my breath.
