Anyone have a good SP path on this one?? I keep having star power leftover or missing some in between... I'm missing something!

Thanks!

well i came up wiv this while looking at the chart, i do admit the SP's are a little close together at the start

3SP - use before start of measure 41 (whammy)
3SP - use at measure 105 (whammy)
2SP - use immediately (measure 137) (whammy)
2SP - use at measure 183 (whammy)

hope this helps

3-3-2-2 is the right path, but those activation times are slightly off.

Thanks both of you!
I tried that path before but I guess I didn't use the first one soon enough and skipped the 4th sp...
This gained me 6k more points!
I appreciate the response...

I'll take a stab at the activation points...

3 - The same as stated
3 - Second set of running green notes (103)
2 - As stated
2 - Measure 180

Pretty sure this one's accurate:
Message in a Bottle Easy SP
4th place, missed a squeeze and apparently at least 24 ticks.

I think the ticks come from the second SP activation...maybe you could move the activation back to halfway through the hold or almost done with the hold to get just those few extra points and you'd have to squeeze the note at the end.

Maybe they aren't the best activation points but it did the trick for me. Thx for this one

This got me 122,453. I can't whammy therefor I can't get squeezes.
