[QUOTE="phreaker47, post: 66979, member: 853"] Got up to 90 billion last night... man, I was just a couple shots away from a third RTU as well. Just needed the super jackpot and I had one more shot left in MB to light it, and I didn't get it. That would have put me over 100B (at least, assuming I would not have failed RTU, and I haven't yet... it's quite easy to win) At one point I strung two "Bonus X Hold"s in a row and did my best playing during that stretch... and on the third of those balls (having had the multiplier carry over from the two previous) I ended up with a 92x and a whopping 9 billion EOB bonus. It was crazy watching that multiplier count up and starting SO SLOWWWWWW. Not sure I'll top that particular stat...hah. I also had a 9 billion-ish TA round. A couple of things to keep this on topic: - I can now win video mode every time by borrowing some advice from this thread: Sweep left/right but NOT all the way, just so your bullets reach each upper corner. That's the key. And, be ready with a martian bomb if any of them get through (Don't use ANY martian bombs you might get until you get video mode). A martian bomb in video mode is like a classic "smart bomb"... it destroys everything currently on the screen. Winning the mode not only gives you nearly 700 million, but an extra ball too. - Definitely go for destroying Mars first. It makes sense since you need to do it anyway, and getting that unlimited 100M shot for you to randomly hit for the rest of the game can add up (Don't deliberately shoot for it though, keep doing all your RTU tasks) Also, I noticed that the 1 billion hurry up was the last wizard goal I didn't have, so I played another game specifically to get it and was lucky to get it pretty quick. It isn't too hard when you are deliberately trying for it. Just try to get all four shots done twice, before completing the first which starts the timer... and if at all possible, make that first completion one of the shots you have more difficulty with (I have a much easier time hitting the orbits than the ramps for whatever reason.) With only one shot for each left and a fairly generous timer, this isn't too tough. [/QUOTE]
