Hey Raphael, welcome to the site! Glad to see a full set of scores and looking forward to what you do when you get the 3D controller. If you ever have any questions just ask.

Thank you for the welcome.

I've been working more on Splash Garden, since out of all the stages I like it's music best. I've improved my scores to:

Mare 4 - 43090
Total - 367480

I'm going to keep working on this stage until I get to tenth on the main list for each Mare plus the total, then I'll begin working on improving my Soft Museum score (the area with my second most favorite music).

Also, recently I've been hearing music in Splash Garden that's different from the usual music. Could someone please tell me why this is happening?

Thanks a lot,

Raphael

One of the cool aspects of NiGHTS, besides the scoring system, is the A-Life of the Nightopians. Based on their mood the music in the game will change. I believe there are 4 moods (Angry, Content, Happy, Cheering), so you will get a more upbeat song when they are happy or cheerful, or a more subdued song when they are angry. If you ever get a chance to play Christmas NiGHTS there is a Melody Box that you can unlock that will let you mix your own songs!

Thank you for explaining that to me, I'll work hard to make my nightopians happy because I think I have the angry music at the moment - I keep killing them by accident.

I'm unable to find either Christmas NiGHTS or the 3D controller in my country, but I'm taking advantage of my Dad visiting another country to get both. I'm hoping he'll be able to win them from eBay.

Edit: While trying to make my Nightopians happy I upped my Reala time to 106.

I made a recording of me playing through Splash Garden. The camera stopped recording at the end of SG3 because the memory was full. However, I only realized this when I got to Reala, so I missed recording SG4. I made another recording of SG4 this morning. I didn't realize the camera had sound, so you can hear my mother watching Star Trek.

SG 1 to 3

Reala

SG 4

My new Splash Garden Scores are:

SG Total - 380820
SG1 Max Link - 126

Whoah. My. God.

New blood, new scores! Please, please, come on in! Would you like some coffee? Tea? Perhaps a biscuit? Is the room temperature okay? It's very nice to meet you, and I hope you enjoy the forums. Also, Splash Garden is a hoot. Feel free to ask us any and all questions regarding, well, anything NiGHTS!

Sincerely,
Ben

There are two other things I'm curious about. In the video I posted, around the end of SG1 I went through the fountain and it showed my character go over to the bit with the blue chips and the rings, but then as soon as I started to move I was back next to the fountain. Does anyone know why this happened?

Also, is there any trick to doing stunts? Or does it just take lots of practice? 'Cos I can usually only do around 4 to 6.

Also, my SG2 high score is now 51510. To give an idea of how I do in each attempt at a stage, here are the top 5 shown when I complete a stage:

New scores:

SG1 - 83480
SGTotal - 430710

Also, thank you for the welcome Ben. I do quite like tea, and know more about tea than the average person. I have spent hundreds of dollars on special tea stuff from China and Japan.

Re: Raphael - High Scores

Raphael 12-26-2008, 2:43 PM
More New Scores:

SG2 - 51610
Reala - 107
SG1 Max Links - 128

That puts me at 10th place on that list for Reala, which is what I've been aiming for with Reala and Splash Garden. Yay!

Very nice improvements! I look forward to seeing how far you're going to take your scores!

Happy Holidays,

I've improved SM 1 to 62290 and SM 3 to 30400. I've been trying to do spins in order to get lots of points in SM 2 and 4. However, each time after I bounce back up from the floor I don't have enough time to continue the link. Is there some trick to doing this?

In SG 1 I now have 86340 as my record. I also got another 107 against Reala. Later got my SG2 up to 53470 I'm improving at stunts, which I'm happy about. Managed to improve my link score up to 171.

Also, I intend to get up to 10th place in total score, each mare, and the max mare 1 links for Splash Garden and then Soft Museum. Hopefully by that time I'll have the 3D controller, and then I'll work on getting higher than the current Site Record for Splash Garden. I've already reached 10th for Reala and SG2, so I've reached my goals for both of those. Hopefully I'll get 110 for Reala at some point, giving me the site record. 108 comes first, though.

Re: Raphael - High Scores

charlie 12-27-2008, 9:44 AM
Like Ben said, nice improvements and looking forward to how high your scores will get!

As for Soft Museum, when you are doing spins it doesn't matter how many links it says you are getting because the links don't count towards your points like they normally do. The important thing is to watch the points that it says you are getting for each spin. And the d-pad is the best for doing spins, so even if you get the 3D controller you'll want to pause and switch to a controller with a good d-pad.

You may want to check out my video on youtube if you want to see how many spins can be done. Eventually you'll get upwards of 1800 points per spin.

Here is also a playlist of all my runs in case you want to see some other levels.

Keep up the good work!

Charlie

Christmas NiGHTS

My game arrived in the mail today, here are my high scores from it. I'm enjoying playing in Eliot's Dream, the Link Attack, and Sonic Into Dreams.

Christmas Nights

Eliots Dream Mare 1 - 68620
Eliots Dream Mare 2 - 39630
Eliots Dream Mare 3 - 35760
Eliots Dream Mare 4 - 30790

Eliots Dream Total - 291230

Claris' Dream Mare 1 - 23850
Claris' Dream Mare 2 - 22030
Claris' Dream Mare 3 - 18110
Claris' Dream Mare 4 - 24470
Mare 1 max link - 20
Claris' Dream Total - 132690

Link Attack - 154
Time Attack - 10.763
Sonic into Dreams - Pia 4:10:516
Sonic into Dreams - Mare 1:6:10

My copy of Phantasy Star Zero arrived from Japan 13 days ago (if anyone here is thinking of getting the game once it comes out in english, I highly reccomend that you do), so I've been spending quite a lot of time on that. Starting to get a bit boring now that I've reached Level 90 and have all the best items in the game, so I'm playing more NiGHTS again. I hope to improve my Splash Garden and/or Soft Museum scores in the next few days.

Also, thank you very much for adding my scores. However, you have my Frozen Bell max links listed as 41. It's actually 49.
