Couldn't find a thread for the legend that is Alex Kidd in Miracle World , so I thought I would add my own humble effort. I still enjoy beating this as much as ever, took me a couple of months to beat this as a kid, some older kids helped me out with the combination on the map at the end. I'm actually not as good now as I was then. Theirs an underwater stage in the final castle in which you are required to move between spikes which are both above and below you , I simply no longer can pass this stage. Luckily with the cane this part can be bypassed. Well I scored 79,000 , it may actually be sightly higher, this was the score before entering the combination at the end so I'm not sure if more points are given for that. The high score at the end appears for only a second and I didn't get a picture in time. I anticipated this and took a pic after beating janken the great. Attachment DeletedAttachment Deleted

I was surprised this had not been covered given how long the thread is going, for a decent score I think you got to forget about the motor cycle and speed boat and just punch anything that moves.

I think 79000 score is pretty high. Just played it the other day , and it to the third and last castle ( I think π) and used my last 4-5 life in some water passages whith a lot of spikes and extremely tiny space to swim trough π My score was 59000

The respawning enimies sadly mean that a maximum high score is not possible in this game but I will still complete it every few months and try for my best score .

It's 2018 and people still don't know that the upper spikes are fake?

It is 2018 but it was 1991 when I wondered where that ladder in the top right of the picture would take me so I used the cane and thats how I have played the level ever since .
