Zil:
That's pretty much what I've been doing, for the most part. I didn't know bombing the stage 3 midboss gave you extra enemies like that. It's true for the stage 4 midboss as well, so I think it's worth bombing that one too. Also, for those bouncing orb things in stage 3, it may actually be easier to collect the items without bombing. With ReimuB at least, you can safely sit high enough to collect items at max value, and just move left and right. Rather than dying instantly from a bomb, the enemies have some time to get closer to you before they die, so the items are less spread out. For the ones afterward that drop only power items, I think standing to one side helps them drop the items in a column. Lastly, I think you should also bomb those green blobs between the stage 4 midboss appearances, once they start making it hard to stay at the top. Assuming you have bombs to spare at that point, that is.

Oh, and I think you're right about Hard and Lunatic having the same patterns. The bosses probably seemed harder because of the rank, yeah.

I'd like to get a recording up as well, but it seems that's become impossible with this game. The settings that work with recording make all of the games play terribly, except PoDD which is improved somehow.

Still full of mistakes. Maybe 18 million can be done with good execution and luck.

You cannot image how many times I died in stage 4. Literally no suicides against Mima. I lost the one she gave me normally and didn't have any more to lose.

I moved the Normal and Easy scores from the previous post to this one so they're less likely to be overlooked. Submitting two scores for Extra because I'm not sure how the rapid fire thing is going to be sorted out. I decided to use it because I noticed that the high score on niconico was using some kind of rapid fire as well. I'm only about 100k away from that score (a third of a point item), by the way, so I think I'll probably beat it soon, and upload a recording. I've also learned how the clear bonus works (I think), in case anyone's interested. Still best to suicide for items, I think, provided you actually get point items and not power items.
Karisa:
It seems the Extra clear bonus was already added to the wiki (by Arcorann) sometime after I said it wasn't. Except that part about clear time doesn't seem accurate, or at least it isn't limited to the range 0 to 10000. It was 11110 for Jaimers in this video.
Zil:
Extra - Reimu B (Turbo)
Zil - 34,257,150 - C - Replay

Possibly the world record? And yeah, that can go above 10,000. Mine was 13,010 in this run.

--- Quote from: video description ---What? I don't care for this game? Well, I saw that the SoEW Lunatic score in that MotK Touhou Hall of Records thread was actually lower than some old 1cc attempt of mine that failed on stage 4, so I felt like I had to submit an improvement. I guess I really am a compulsive scorer or something.
