Some notes on the (really simple) scoring system. It might appear at first that you get high multipliers for shooting several enemies in quick succession. But that's not quite the case, hoarding enemies for quick killing chains isn't the best approach.
Each multiplier is calculated for every individual enemy. So if you shoot an enemy when it appears onscreen, you'll get a high multiplier for that enemy. But if it survives for a while and you destroy it later, the multiplier will be significantly lower.

So, in a nutshell:

• Defeat each enemy as fast as possible for high multipliers, ideally just when they appear onscreen. The maximum multiplier seems to be x16.
• Defeat bosses as fast as possible for high time bonusses (pick Drill Kaiser whenever possible).
• Don't take any hits to get the best score bonusses at the end of each stage.

And that's about it. The latter two have by far the most influence on your score.

Also added my own scores above:

Battletoad - 11,016,126 - ALL - Easy
Battletoad - 14,007,078 - ALL - Normal
Battletoad - 16,188,613 - ALL - Hard
Battletoad - 9,068,038 - Stage 4 - Super Hard

Nice Normal score, Battletoad.

I think I made a little above 12M.

[Battletoad]

Well yes, I've played it quite a bit... and way longer than I first expected.

Well done, wizkid!
And nice replay, too. It's great to see someone clearing this mode.

[Despatche]

So it's basically the Raiden III system?

Despatche - 9,759,632 - ALL - Easy

Junk score from months ago. Needle only! I'm treating this like Winds of Thunder and such.

[wizkid]

Yeah, it's like Raiden 3, but you get huge bonus for speedkilling bosses, there is nothing better than drillkaiser for speedkilling bosses and it makes them easy as a pie too, especially last boss.

[Battletoad]

Sweet, some new entries to the table.
Nice score, edusword!
