AHHHH!! the rate up angel!

rate up angel appear for increase your score, when angel appear, if you take it, your score increase X 2 (yellow rate up angel) for some seconds....

when rate up finish and fly out the screen, your score returns normal

if you not take it, succesfully a new rate up appear with different color.

rate up angels are 10 (for each, the colour is different):

x 2
x 4
x 8
x 16
x 24
x 32
x 48
x 64
x 80
x 128

rate up appear after you take 2 bonus jewel item, after this, if you destroy 1 enemy, rate up angel appear

Ok, thanks for letting me know it's been driving me crazy I haven't been able to figure it out myself nor did I find anything on the internet about it.

The 128x multiplier is the Yume-chan (the large winged bonus with the kanji "Yume" [dream] in the center). It also has the effect of turning all destroyed enemies into power-ups (a 300 pt bonus per power-up).

mmmh not. Yume chan is not x 128, but is a special rate for power up bonus only.


with Yume chan you can obtain power up only if you defeat all enemies

Ah good all Gemant, always with a great answer.
You're pretty much a walking neogeo gameplay library.

I didn't understand at first what the starter of the thread said...

On a side note, Gemant, what is the world record for
Blazing Star? was it in Gamest at all? or NeoGeo Freak Mag?

Hmmmm... I was under the impression that was it... but I guess not. Which colour is the 128x?

Colours I can remember off the top of my head are:
yellow, orange, red, purple, brown

I love it how NOBODY ever wants to use the Peplos for high-scores. ;)

from what I heard there's some bug regarding the Peplos that makes it banned for high scoring purposes. Or something. Somebody was telling me about that, but I forget the specifics... maybe Gemant knows

Pink (x 24)
Fuchsia (x 32)
Light blue (x 48)

Yume chan appear ONLY after when you take a normal rate up bonus, for this, the value is x 2.

Peoples is banned from gamest score for Bug, possible discontinuation score.

Ah, a bug, that would explain it.

But what exactly does the Peplos score bug do?
