High Score Competition # 61: Mario Bros.
CrazyKongFan:
Which version of MAME are you using? I'm using the current one (141). The default settings say 3 men to start, extra man at 20K only and difficulty easy, but it gives me an extra man at every 20K (something I'm not used to) This is with the ROMset stated in the rules, Revision F.

After 3 games, I got 90,880. I'm not feelin' it. That's the best that I'll have time for this go-around.
Great game--still can't get used to having less directional control over Mario. All those Super Mario Bros X games have tainted me!

Is that some strange kind of MAME cab?
I couldn't really take on that strategy above, but tried again and got forty points below my high score.

I'd need to check, but it's definitely not current. By default, I get 3 men and 1 man at the first 20k. I should change the settings to give me more men so I can get practice at the higher levels.
quarterstringer:
I did some googling and there seems to be a bug in the mario rom for mame versions 133 and up that gives you an extra man at every 20k. This bug also ends the game between 980k and 1 million.
For this competition you should only get one extra man at 20,000. If you're getting an extra man at every 20k, try using the roms marioe or marioo.
