Soft Museum 1,112,440 Points - NiGHTS into Dreams (Saturn)

Thanks to a new strategy on Mare 2, the 1.1 million barrier has been broken! I found that it would be best to start doing the spins immediately instead of waiting until after the Ideya Capture, since you can save time by collecting blue chips as you're doing the spins. The amount of extra spins you can do will offset the time bonus from destroying the Ideya Capture as soon as possible.

I love how the developers never expected a score that high, hence the million digit missing from the final score screen.

[@AndonutsJeff]

its still broken in the HD remake lol

[@WindiiGitlord]

I like how after you do enough of those flips the score in the corner just does not stop increasing for a long time.

[@Nightopian1982]

How in the name of god did you manage to do this? Surely you must have played it for months non stop. I've just started again after twenty years since I last played it, I didn't actually own it (disgraceful I know) for the Saturn, so I still feel like I'm playing major catch up. That said, I've at least managed to get A grades overall on three of the levels after one day's proper play (you're probably laughing at what I call an achievement!). I haven't even attempted Stick Canyon yet, or done this level more than once (only got a C first time around).
I'm country miles away from where you are here. I'm content to just keep trying to beat my scores again and again, and listen to the wonderful musical score...
That's my excuse anyway.

You know NiGHTS was designed to support native 16:9? You can enable it in the options menu, seems like something that might come in handy for dedicated players.

That was awesome...I must train harder but I doubt I'll ever catch up

[@ElectricStriker777]

Thanks! With enough spins in mares 2 & 4 you should be able to catch up no problem :)

@@ElectricStriker777 if only I had a 3d control pad instead of the regular Saturn controller it could work

[@Mr._Gugo]

How do you do the spins in mare 2 and 4?

[@yetravellingsonc8372]

Whenever you hit the bouncy walls in the buildings, you can spin the control stick (or D-pad for better results), and every successful spin will add points, the bonus increasing with each spin. Landing upright on the surface will let you continue the combo and get to ludicrous numbers like shown here.
It kinda works on the HD port, but the changes in D-pad control makes it much harder to get anything capable of netting a good score. You're better off just doing normal Links in that version.

@@yetravellingsonc8372 I had no idea that was a thing. How did you discover that? o.o

[@yetravellingsonc8372]

@@niconicoseri Comically enough, this video. Tested it out myself sometime after seeing it, on both the HD port and on an emulator.

@@yetravellingsonc8372 yeah i just spent a couple of hours trying to be able to do that in the HD version on Steam, and it just straight up wasn't happening; then i came back here and noticed you said it didn't really work on the HD port lol. wish i would've read that part the first time haha
