I understand the current scoring policy in SMB2 is 1 point for every stage completed. What's the scoring policy using warps in SMB2?

I really don't know what it is - but I'd imagine you'd... I don't know... let me do a little metacognition here.
There's... 7 worlds, right? The 7th world has 2 stages in it if I'm not mistaken, so 20 stages is the maximum I think. I'm not positive, please correct me if I'm wrong.
If you warp from say 1-3, I'd say you get credit for completing 1-3, so 3 points so far, you warp to 4-1, so if you go the rest of the way, you'd get 11 more points for a final score of 14. I don't think you should get the maximum of 20 if you warp.
Skipping stages should be a reduction of maximum score, like all the other super mario games.
That's my opinion, please take it like a grain of salt.

I just had a thought...
Maybe we should score it like 1,000 points for completing a stage, adding 1 point for every second you have on the playchoice 10 clock?
Maybe that would avoid a possible zillion-way-tie...

sounds much better than zillion way ties... i'd vote for it.

of course, you have to win the game in order to get the time bonus...

Hey - do something about Chip + Dale: Rescue Rangers also. I maxed out all the counters + completed the game beating each and every level, I rather have this scoring method for that game also.

Hey Roncli - the scoring for SMB2 has already changed - the ayes are 8, the nays are 1 - scoring is now 1000 / stage complete + 1 pt / time unit left - provided you win of course.
Kewl

Didn't realize it had changed already.
I'm gonna go back to it tonight and try and complete it without locking up on the Fry Guy board.
[edit] Don't you mean 1000
* stages completed?

I've updated the special rules link ;
can any editor please multiply other scores than roncli's by 1000 ?

Maybe we could apply this time bonus system to an other game : pc_rygar
Score would be time units remaining when finishing the game (if you don't finish the game : no score) ; I've just watched BBH's input which completes the game when timer = 3003, but he lost a lot of time to get the crossbow he had forgot to pick up, and I'm sure "time score" can be improved by one of you
