Pretty Good Guide Minerdave, you covered it all very well. Each round (except level 1, rounds 1 & 2) has three different patterns the game can choose from to present.

i was playing fireworks today, and i had recieved first place, and 400 + 375 credits... (one for getting thus far, and the other for first place).

I re-entered the game right after receiving this and i recieved first place AGAIN with 244,000 points... and yet... although i was first, i received FIREWORKS magic...

so i am asuming that if you get first place twice in a row, you will receive it. I didn't get to take any screenshots of the message i received with the AGAIN in all caps, because i was in too much shock, but anyways, i think i've just discovered a new tactic!

[EDIT:] both times, i got 240,000+ points.

Yeah, This actually does not work this way...You do not play two times, come in first, and over 240,000+ points to receive the fireworks magic pin. At this rate, I would have over 500 fireworks magic pins if this was true...I am actually doing some testing now to see how many times you must win to receive fireworks magic "AGAIN", and how many times you must come in second place or lower and have over 240000+ points to receive fireworks magic. After I have confirmed my information, and reconfirmed I will post something out there...

yea, maybe it was a bug or something, because i just tried again, except this time winning 3 times in a row with 240,000+ but no magic. And obviously, you should know, lol. But perhaps it's a "first-timers" win 2-times in a row thing. since that was my first time doing that.

or again, it still could be a bug

The new pointage system bites. Many good players throw the game and get 240,000 just barely so they can receive more points than the 1st place winner. I really wish vmk will fix that.

I cant even play fireworks =(. It keeps redirecting to the Lobby, so I cant play anything. Same with Haunted Mansion, and I get dc everytime I try to play Jungle Cruise.

Note: these are approximates based on how i play the game.

A 280K game can look something like this (assuming few misses except in the Parkview 3):
* = where i typically miss a firework

Fantasyland 1: 12950
Fantasyland 2: 28400*
Fantasyland 3: 46200
Adventureland 1: 61100 *
Adventureland 2: 76000
Adventureland 3: 97500
Tomorrowland 1: 111200*
Tomorrowland 2: 128700
Tomorrowland 3: 150100
Frontierland 1: 170000*
Frontierland 2: 190000*
Frontierland 3: 215000
Park View 1: 237000*
Park View 2: 257000
Park View 3: 283000
Note for Park View 3: i usually do better when the first firework is either the "yellow tri-dot" or the "turquoise star." I usually do worse with the pattern that begins with the "gold burst"

Wow.

Last week I could barely get past level one. (I hated the Fireworks Game then.) I've been playing it more and it is becoming way easier. Now I'm making it to the end of the game, usually in the top 3. I love the Fireworks game now. Thanks for all the tips. I just got over 210,000. That's an improvement from last week's 25,000.

Post Castle Fireworks Secrets

Here are a couple tips I learned playing the game a lot that might help you.

1. Increase your mouse sensitivity settings to faster in Windows Control Panel. It may take you a few times to get used to the new speed, but it will allow you to jump across the screen in time for those hard to get awesome or flawless on both fireworks.

2. 1300 Credits for getting 240k+ and losing. 675 for winning, or depending on what number it is you've won, another Fireworks magic pin + credits. Good to know if you want to mass credits or collect pins for games or trading.

3. Multiple grouped fireworks: Wait until last second for the flawless to get them all. So far from my experience, the farthest apart between fireworks to get all of them is about 1/2cm on the screen; any further and usually you'll only explode one of them.

4. Overall performance options: For ADSL/Cable search for tweak settings, opening the MTU to 1500, the right TTL and TCP Window will dramatically increase load times.


From the above I have increased my average score of 200k to 250k. More credits, more pins, life is great!
