:oops: oh.
Also, Jitterbug drops a 2up if you kill him without a bomb, which will help greatly against the last boss.
who's Jitterbug? (Maybe I haven't gotten to him yet?)
Yeah, talking about this game is about as close to playing it as I can get, so I am probably sounding like a broken record. :lol:
go get another 360 already, guy!

Jitterbug is the man sprite, you'll know him when you see him.

And yeah, I really do need to pick up another 360. I had to please the lady and pick up a Neo Geo first though.

It's really weird. I feel like I'm chaining things, grabbing items before they turn to skulls, etc etc. But I've got to be doing something wrong...
If you scrub to about the 1:45 mark, you can see I start stage 4 (Volcano) just under 2 million. I just followed dunpeal's advice and played to survive and use the over drive in a spot you know you can rake up those goodies.

*sorry for the poor video quality, had to squish it down to a mp4 format (2GB to 30mb).

Haha, sure, I can recapture right now. You may be bored as my audio isn't capturing correctly for some reason. Do you know how to download replays directly to your 360? I can't seem to figure that out.

I've only figured how to do it from the leaderboards. But I'm not sure how I'd search for a specific user's replay.

I'm not sure if you can download a replay if it doesn't make leaderboards.

I would try going into leaderboards, but setting it to "friends", that could work.

Up'd my high score - really starting to get a grasp on the scoring system (which is really addicting btw).

30,248,412 - xan_racketboy_fan - stage 5 - Casper - Arcade Mode

Shot me a friend request on XBL, noise. Maybe we can keep easier track of our replays 8)
