So this was done using a save state during a practice session, naturally it will not be included in any lists or qualify for bounties ect..
I had been hitting in the 8000 - 8900 region for a while now during these practice games and hit 9000 earlier but wasn't recording so I fired up OBS in rec mode and managed to capture a fairly rare occurance where the fireball just would not go down.
We seemed to be in sync, every time the fireball unfroze Jump Man happened to be in the air and restricted him from decending, this went on until 800 bonus time when I purposely stopped leeching for fear I wouldnt have time to grab the prize.
