Do you like the scoring system in Star Fox Weekend Competition? Well the wait is now over for a retail version.

-Disable points for shooting/killing Dodora Head/Tail (3-3)
-Disable points for shooting/killing mini Castanets (2-5)
-Disable points for shooting/killing spawned bikers from the Mad Trucker (2-6)

It's wonderful to play with scores but I miss being able to do it with an overclocked romPegafun2022-07-28Version 1.26

A modification that gives a new added value to the game and a lot of replayability. I never understood why Nintendo didn't add an internal scoring system and ranking to the game. Now I can finally play it with the incentive of beating my previous scores or those of my friends. This also opens the possibility to play the game in competitions and championships.

I only put one downside, and it is the impossibility of using the patch in a modified rom to work at 21MHz FastROM. It would be wonderful if the author added the ability to use the two patches in conjunction.
