Does something happen if you get 12 artifacts? Or is it just for bonus?

Grapple? you can skip grapple in Prime. I wonder if the 3-pool trick works on Prime in pinball.

lol no way

My first actually good run through the game:
15,590,260 (1-09). I find that killing the bosses repeatedly is really helpful in increasing your score... however, the phazon mines one gets rather difficult, particularly with all the other crap going on onscreen. But basically this game has proven itself worth my money tonight through this one playthrough. Really though, I wish there had been more maps... eh, that has nothing to do with score though, sorry to go off-topic.

Edit: My Phendrana time happens to be 1:09:17. That was like my first runthrough of the single mission... I don't like that near as much.

What does the (1-09) mean? And is this timed, so we CAN speed run it (well, sort of, it IS a DS game after all)? Meh, wish I had money, so I can buy it.

lol no way

The 1-09 means that I beat the game, got all 12 artifacts, so once it restarted above the artifact it has a little 1, in the superscript. Then upon restarting I got 9 more artifacts.
As for timing, well, sort of. You can go into single-mission mode, where you just play one board, and depending on the board to can do it by time. These times boards have a goal that involves killing a boss, thardus or omega pirate. Once to defeat the boss, it logs your time. No points are logged.
The other maps just go by points, and have no "goal" in points you should reach, just... well, arcade game like, just go as long as you can. I think multi-mission is way cooler than single, though.

He means twelve minutes, not seconds. That time would read as "twelve minutes, eighty-four seconds".

12 minutes 84 seconds? That makes no sense. And 12 minutes is not a best time, it's a very high time.

Too lazy to type my scores.

No, no. I can assure you he means 12 seconds. I can do it in 1min 34secs at the moment and that's only after a couple of tries. He printed up his tactics for this over on the SCU forum and I've only just realised that the developers of this game MUST have noted the SB'ing, because Mr. Potter's strategy employs using the Power Bombs, which if you remember weren't intended to be used on Thardus in MP...

I think that the Metroid people have been coming here too much. PBs in Phendrana? That requires early Plasma Beam. And first missiles in Phazon Mines? That hasn't even been done yet. Not to mention going to Phazon Mines before Phendrana.

12 seconds? The only thing I can think of for that is PB Thardus, then Missile him right away.

That's what I thought too but getting the missles right away is a bit trciky. I saw the 12 second thing and decided to give it a shot and my best was 1:10:64 which isn't bad at all but it's certainly no 12 seconds. This is also when I noticed that it takes 6 seconds for it to get up, unless using the powerbomb right away breaks the sequence of Thartus getting up I don't see it being possible... wait a sec... : runs and grabs his DS :
