RQ: Blazing Star caravan mode help

Post by wasilewski »

Well, I have been playing Blazing Star caravan mode on the Switch a lot and have got 8th place as of writing this.

The top score is 2087010 and I have no idea how this was done in 5 minutes. Even some of the scores that are 150000+ I'm not sure how they were possible in 5 minutes.

I have watched replays online and I can see that it's possible to milk the first level boss for many points, but it also cuts back your time for the second stage and I'm not entirely sure it's worth it.

Any tips on how to bump up my score would be appreciated.

I am not entirely sure how Caravan mode works, since I don't have the port. Is it just the first 5 minutes into the regular game? This replay gets 2.2 million during the first 5 minutes: https://youtu.be/BaDz0U0xbPQ

Just copy.

Yes my friend, just 5 minutes of play.

So milking the first boss seems to be the trick.
