Topic: Super Mario Bros. 35

@N00bslayr Same. My strategy is to get coins the first minute or so I play, and then when everyone attacks me for having the lowest time I nab a star and not only get me some time but kill off some of the other players.

@Xyphon22 That's interesting, I rarely see multiple Lakitu's in the normal game, but I've had 7 or 8 on screen in challenge mode! I'm regularly getting top 3 too in both modes.

@App I'm going to try that strategy! Do you ever use the pipe in 1-1 to get coins? I always skip it.

@MarioBrickLayer I do it the first time I play it.
If I go there again I usually have plenty of coins so I skip that path and go for the time. You know where the star in that level is, right? It’s going to be your biggest help.

Also, my biggest strategy is to always, always, always start with a fire flower. It’s extremely cheap, and will help you get tons of coins and time fast.

@App ah, I just set to counter and try to get coins from K.Os.
It's amazing how quickly you can have a massive horde of ennemies sent to you.

Anyone know how high the levels go?

I was beaten by some guy that was at level 90*

@Franklin I saw people with two stars by their level so far. Who knows.

I wonder what he does in his spare time. Probably courts countless women I'd imagine.

In my experience, everyone who gets first place is 10X better than everyone who gets third place.

Are people counting the coin count to a person's skill? That only goes partially. Keep in mind first place doesn't lose coins for.. well.. losing, while everyone else does. I think you lose like half your coins if you die? While first place just GAINS a lot. Let's not forget you get even more if you happen to be able to score KOs which honestly could very much be random, getting KOs just requires more luck than skill.

So I wouldn't consider the coin count towards first place's skill level. Not entirely anyway. Unless they REALLY have a ton of it somehow.
