40 points per Km in 3rd gear
80 points per Km in 4th gear

Score Tally Screen

You will receive points for certain actions you performed during the course. These are tallied on the Score Tally screen after you clear the course.

Invaders

You receive points for every Invader you defeat. The score you receive is based on the colour of the Invader and how you defeated it:

Blocked means you pushed the Invader into an obstacle.
Destroyed means you shot the Invader with your gun.

You get more points for blocking than shooting.

Invader Type	Points if Destroyed	Points if Blocked
Pink	200 points	400 points
Green	500 points	1,000 points
Red	1,000 points	2,000 points
Blue	2,000 points	4,000 points
Purple	3,000 points	9,000 points
Black	5,000 points	20,000 points

Bomber Balls destroyed

You earn 1,000 points for each Bomber Ball you shoot.

Oil Drums destroyed

You earn 300 points for each black Oil Drum you shoot.

You only get points for the black Oil Drums in the middle of the road. You do not get any points for shooting the blue oil drums that line the edge of the course.

Shots

You earn 10 points for every bullet remaining at the end of the course.

You start each course with 80 bullets. By blocking Invaders, you can earn additional bullets, up to a maximum of 254.

Bonus Points! Shoot 10 Identical Invaders

Shoot and defeat 10 Invaders of the same colour in a row on a single course. A fanfare will sound and you will receive bonus points:

Shoot and defeat 10 pink Invaders in a row for 20,000 points
Shoot and defeat 10 identical Invaders of any other colour in a row for 50,000 points

Defeating an Invader of a different colour resets your tally.

Invaders that you block (push into obstacles) are not counted towards your tally and do not reset it.

Maximum Score

The highest possible score you can get is 999,990 points.
