Anyway, I've got an old score from my GBA cart, and if that's admissible, I'll use it for now, and if I can beat any of my old level scores, I'll do so.

Unfortunately I can't let you use old scores, as that wouldn't be fair to everyone else. However since you have the actual cart you should go fine this week! I'm trying to play this on a keyboard and it's not going so hot.

Updating the scoreboard.

That's fair. I should have figured as much. I'll work on a new game when I've got time.

mike89 - 11 - 160630

Toy Block Tower - 11730 (max)
The Big Board - 18050 (max)

Writing a full route for The Big Board because a) its my favourite level and b) it should serve as an indicator of all the things to do in any given level. In spoiler tags of course.

The first objective in this level (and any level) is to make sure you're maximising coin output from enemies. If you max out both your hearts and "heart gauge" just below it, instead of each enemy dropping a part of that heart gauge they'll drop 100 coins in addition to their usual coin drops.

So first of all, fill out your hearts! Two ways to do this, but I'm going to go for the quicker method: collecting four hearts along the way. The second room has a heart, also a spinner (roll a 6, red blocks on). Go to the next room, dodge the enemies and jump up to the top level, where there are two more hearts. In the next room you can take the fourth heart by rolling a 6. Now go back and kill all the enemies in the previous rooms so you don't have to do it at the end. Go back to the fourth room where there should be one spinner left. Clear the top of this room out, stand under the spinner facing left and roll a 6. Wario will go on fire, get him up to the top of the level and collect one piece of Topaz.

Now go down to the bottom of this room, go left and take out the enemies. Those gems you see won't appear until after you hit the frog, so don't worry about them now. Now to the right hand side is a secret room, punch through the breakable blocks there (do the last set quickly because they give coins too!) and go into the purple pipe.

This is a really tricky room, you need to take out the two layers of breakable blocks, then stand on the set at the bottom, bounce off the two enemies and grab the full health and 500 coins. Then take out the blocks on the bottom level, carefully kill the two enemies so you can collect their coins safely, and leave. You should have 3460 coins at this point.

Be careful going to the lower level in this next room, there's a spiny enemy and he tends to hover on the left, so go to the right hand side and you should be safe. Two spinners in this room, roll a 3 (diamond) and a 6 (enemies), and throw the enemies to get the second piece of Topaz. Note that these enemies don't give coins, so don't waste your time killing all of them. Now go to the top section (be careful about which blocks you break here) and kill the two enemies up top and take all the gems that you can for now. Take out all the blocks you used to stand on and go to the next room (5970).

Three enemies you can kill in this room, but note the two enemies encased by red blocks, you'll be back here later. (6520)

Now there's four spiny enemies in the next room which have to be killed in a specific way. There's two ways to do this, the one I prefer is to stand on the left spinner and do a super ground pound from up there, take out the green block, and then do this again for each enemy. If you space them out properly you can collect all the coins from here with absolutely no risk. However, you still have to take out the second green block, so go back to the spinners and get a 5. Take out the green block and wait for Fat Wario to run out. Take out the two enemies and take the third piece of Topaz, but before you move on, go back to the second spinner and roll a 3 for the diamond. (10440)

This room should be a sort of cave-like room. What you want to do here is go to the bottom and roll a 4 for Flat Wario, and go into the flat hole. Kill the two enemies and take the last piece of Topaz. Now in order to get the next few gems you have to turn red blocks off, so do that with a 5. Take out the two spiked enemies and, while you're taking one of them out, bounce on it and grab the three red gems (these are really tricky to get on the way back, and time is short). Now remember the two enemies encased in red blocks a couple of rooms back? Go back there and take them out. Go back and enter the door that looks like a house. (12500)

Now this is a very important room. You'll see three sets of blocks above you, the transformation in this level is of course Spring Wario. Now to make things even more tricky, you must keep one of the two enemies on the bottom level alive, because of the gems that won't be collectable until later that you can see. Roll a 3 (Spring Wario) and bounce up through the hole to the right. Hold right all the way up this chute. Once you go back to normal, pick up one of the enemies and throw it up at the blocks above and to the left. Jump back down and take the other spinner, rolling a 5, but this time hold left going up the same chute. You'll go into the gap you just created, now you can pick up the CD. Take out all the blocks on the left hand side, then hold left and jump, there's some more gems that you wouldn't otherwise have seen. Drop back down and pick up the gems, dodging the enemy you want to leave behind, then take everything else out and enter the next house. (13840)

Now take out the enemy and roll, once you hit the enemy on the other side, jump and take that enemy's coins. Now hit the frog. (14060)

HURRY UP! [2:30]

Once you exit this room it gets really fun. The game tells you to "Get a Goal!" but at this point you have no idea what a goal is. The goal is simply the end of the board. Before you get there, however, there's a couple more key spots on the board you have to hit. First, face left and get a 6. You get Fire Wario but the only water is on the left, so that gets you there quicker. Next get a 2 and turn the red blocks back on. But you can't quite reach them! The solution? Roll a 6 to spawn the enemies, which gets you high enough to land on the red blocks! Now take all the gems and roll again. Next roll is tricky because you can't hit a lightning (you still have one enemy to kill) but you can't hit the red blocks either because you need them to stay active. That leaves 3 or 4, then you want a 3 or 4 for the diamond. Now the goal is conveniently six spaces away! Be warned that you have to hit it exactly though, so if you miss, you can't go over or you'll roll back and hit the lightning. Now drop into the room where you left that enemy behind. Pick him up and take him to the exit of this room, drop him and bounce off him. Then kill him and take his coins. Mwahahaha. (15940)

The next room has a purple pipe, go up it. Ground pound to bring the enemy down, then throw it hard upwards so it takes out all the blocks and hits the switch. These four blocks drop coins, be careful picking them up! Now drop down, collect all the gems you couldn't previously (which includes taking the bottom route in the fourth room) and exit. (17650)

All hearts bonus gives you 18050, which is perfect!

YES. Finally maxed The Big Board. This is the most creative level i've seen so far (which is saying a lot, since most of the levels are pretty creative).
Those goddamn spinners ruined so many attempts. It kind of depends on your reflexes, but i find that the best time to hit the jump button is when the number 2-before-the-one-you-want starts to darken. Maybe a tad earlier in the goal-room since the spinner is higher.
Mike -- your walkthru is immensely helpful.

All the Topaz levels scores are from first playthrough only. Will need to go back and improve now that I know the layout of things. Should be able to get alot more from the big board and need to figure out what I'm doing wrong on Domino Road since lots of gems are still inverted.

It's funny how I could have missed the Arabian Nights key even after playing through it several times. It's in a friggen obvious place behind a large door. Somehow I missed this door during all of the previous runs, figured that was the way I came from or something.
