the best video for me is still the first one, and it seems they forgot to blank out the scores on this vid too
62+ mill by the stage 2 midboss
190+ mill before the stage 3 midboss
340+ mill at the diagonal platforms* on stage 4
679+ mill at the beehive section of stage 5
860+ mill shortly after the second midboss of stage 5
1+ bill at the stage 5 boss
1.20+ bill towards the end of stage 2-1
1.5+ bill at the start of stage 2-3
2.1+ bill at the 1-up turret on 2-4
2.4+ bill at the start of 2-5
* seems to have a steadier pattern for going into this section than what's shown on the arika dvd, ie less left-right movement needed.
those are type-A scores, his type-B scores are slightly less at each section. they do however blank out his score and remaining lives when he kills hibachi. he kills him with a 9000+ hit chain. i had vhs cassette of ISO no-missing hibachi, and that was around 7,800 hits. i know you get a hefty bonus for any remaining ships after hibachi (50 mill each i think), so i wonder how many lives he loses on hibachi? if he has 2.4 bill at the start of 2-5, i can't see him making 1.1 bill just from chaining the level...
