"Parasol Stars" High score

shubibiman · 02/19/2011, 04:59 AM

It's not that often that I try and get high scores on platformers but this one is so addictive I couldn't resist. Show your scores made with only one credit.

Hoobs88 - 119,783,770
Shubibiman - 10,893,250 - Stage 8-6

Here is my score : 6 596 180 Pts - Stage 7-7

Note that only the scores made with one credit from the first stage on will be taken into account.

Finally, a high score competition that I can compete in! I used to play Bubble Bobble and Parasol Stars every day just to see how high of a score I could get in each game (since I could finish both of them without continuing).

Wow, I suck at that game. Could never beat it, even with continues. Any advice for me so I can give it another go?

1) Memorize the locations where power-ups appear.
2) Always try to get 3 elemental tokens that match so you can gain access to the treasure rooms at the end of each planet. If you make 2 large bubbles of an elemental type, the next stage will give you that elemental token.
3) Gather 5 elemental bubbles on your Parasol to eliminate larger enemies with ease.
4) Find a second player to help you.

I beat the game 5 or 6 years ago playing with my wife. I've never beaten it solo, however.

I don't think I've ever beaten Parasol Stars without skipping stages or some other shenanigans.

I am curious about the "Real Ending" alluded to in the other thread.

Anyway, I love this goddamn game and I should play it, NOW.

Since I apparently suck at this game and I want to see the end... please tell how you skip stages?

If you want to get the True Ending then you need to get a "Miracle" of 3 Star Elemental Tokens to gain access to the Treasure Room that contains the key to "Secret Road".

Here is my latest high score :

10 893 250 - Stage 8-6

You can't. The best thing you can get is the rainbow necklace that will award 99 continues. Then, you have to beat the 8th boss having 3 stars to get the key the last 2 worlds.

Well, I beat this game back in the day, but I don't think I got the special ending.

That sounds perverted, by the way. "Special Ending", indeed.

If the last boss you met was the big dragon, then you didn't really clear the game ;)
You must have seen a door that you couldn't get through : it's the door that leads to the last 2 worlds.

I beat the game with a score of 13,018,800 and I had 10 lives left and 99 credits (which are supposed to be worth a million points each). I think they max out with a 100 million points for a bonus since my score should have been 122,018,800

hoobs88 · 05/11/2011, 12:48 AM

Score at end of game-15,755,980

99 Credits/19 Lives Bonus

Enter Initials/High Score (should be 133,755,980 but for some reason it maxes out the bonus at 113 million)

Just noticed that the 1 year anniversary of my high score was yesterday. I'll have to play again to see if I can increase that!

WHATTTTTTT? for gods sake fire this up and get her a turbo pad in her hands. It was one of my favorite games as a kid! I still remember when me and my brother actually beat it one day after hooking up the old TG-16 for the first time in a few years!

New high score! 119,783,770
