And someone who is already worse at a game because they are new has the additional challenge of having to go through the game without any of these powerups?
how did this person figure out the trick to begin with

embarrising - my past best is 40 mil+ and as I'm just off to a music festival, I only got three credits in...

I played on the 'Arcade' difficulty, rather than the 360 version's default 'normal'. I think that was right...

Don't much feel like being bottom of the ladder. I'm sort of getting the hang of it, but I feel it's less about tactics at the moment and more about getting a good run and bullshitting my way to a decent score somehow >_>

I'm trying to harvest Sim. 50 (the ice stage) to get a new high score, but as I stand, I'm running into my inadequecies when I finish Sim. 30 (sky assault) with no bombs. If I get there with no bombs, I have to suicide to get more so I can succesfully get the micluses in the stage, and the fairy bombs. I chose not to do that this run, and it got me a broken chain and a crappy run of Sim. 50 overall. I need to get to Sim. 50 with at least one bomb in order for my run to be better and so I don't waste a life.

Hell yes, triggered medal mode at the end of the first stage. Would have had a much higher-scoring run if I hadn't bungled things up and lost a life on the first stage. :(

Man, whoever mentioned it's sometimes easy to confuse your ship with the other slaves: I accidentally picked up a S powerup on stage 20 and kinda freaked out when the slaves went into homing mode. "WHERE THE HELL AM I? CANNOT MISS MEDAL!"

I'll just leave this here while I keep being frustrated about the million things that fuck up on stage one making me not get gold bars (biggest bullshit reason being slave formation preventing me from getting the purple medal). And to put a third yellow score on the list.
