In Lorule and Hyrule you find many Mini games, what are the hi-scores/best times you can achieve in each one

Hyrule
Chicken Evasion
Rupee Rush
The Race (not sure if there is a name)

Lorule
Treacherous Tower
Octoball Derby
Rupee Rush

*probably did not get them all because i am stupid*

Chicken Evasion: 102 Seconds (Somewhere around there)
Rupee Rush: 130 Rupees (Give or take)
Bros. Hyrule Race: 61.5 Seconds

Treacherous Tower: 7 Minutes 11 Seconds
Best Octoball score: 175
Rupee Rush: 300 Rupees (I remember I got a shit ton because he tripled my score)

With Rupee Rush, you can earn a multiplier if you get close to 30 seconds

Specifically, finishing with under 3 seconds left multiplies your score by 2, and finishing with under 1 second left triples it.

My high score on DW rupee rush is 501.  Wonder is this might be the fastest (if risky) way to rack up rupees...

Actually the fastest way to rack up rupees is to beat the Advanced stage in the Treacherous Tower. roughly 10 minutes of gameplay gets you 5000ish rupees.

As for my records:
Chicken Evasion: 160.94 seconds
Hyrule Rupee Rush: 189 Rupees
Bros. Hyrule Race: 59.4 seconds

Treacherous Tower: 9 Minutes 15 Seconds
Octoball Derby: 102 Rupees
Lorule Rupee Rush: 651 Rupees

Doesn't seem like it would be.  In 30 seconds I made 501 rupees.  Over 10 minutes thats 10020 rupees.  Definitely riskier though.

You're not making 501 rupees every 30 seconds, you're making 401 rupees every 45 seconds to a minute or so. Don't forget about the fee to play the game or all the dialogue you need to sit though between attempts. Also the game's pretty heavily luck-based so that's a factor as well. I would be surprised if you could break 500 rupees consistently.

I was testing the game out earlier, and I rarely got even over 300. I don't think it would be worth it to gain a lot of rupees here.

My highscore for the Lorule Rupee Rush is 852, with practice I think 500 can be pretty consistent even though it is luck-based

I am the Cuccomaster. 999.99 on chicken evasion.

Treacherous Tower is fastest way to make money. Advanced Course costs 300 rupees, pays out 5100. 100 from the rupee like floor, and 5000 for the reward. Current best time on Tower is 5 minutes 41 Seconds. Can still be greatly improved. Im going for sub 5 mins.

Rupee Rush: 0.03 sec, 329 rupees
Treacherous Tower 50F: 5:59
Anyone hit 0.00 in Rupee Rush?

I assume everyone's using the music as sound cue.

If you know a bit music/rhythm this is sort of easy. The song is 200bpm exactly and is in 4/4 - so we need to count 100 beats for 30secs - which is 25 full measures. However the intro isn't 4 but 6 beats and timer starts on the 5th, 2 beats before the "real" song. So we're 2 beats "ahead" of the song and therefore need to aim for clicking spot on the 3rd beat of the 25th measure. The song is in 2 parts, think of it as verse and chorus. It's the 3rd beat of the 2nd chorus.
0.00 gave nothing special just the normal 3x. Rupees are so RNG I'm not gonna grind for a high score :)

Shame... I looked at my awesome looking collector's edition walkthrough, and it said that rupee rush was a good place to grind. Apparently, they had no thought of the casual player and even one as ryhtmic as myself wouldnt be able to consistently get over 500. Btw, that's a low amount considering you can find more than that in a single dungeon.

*Jeez, im ranting again*

Hey all, if someone ever looked for WR vids from Treacherous Tower or Hyrule Hotfoot, then you probably found mine (most vids are former WRs)

My list of records:

- Hyrule Hotfoot: 43.5 seconds (former WR)
- Cucco Ranch - Endless: 317.46 seconds (no pause WR (Cyberscore)
- Rupee Rush Hyrule: 435 rupees (WR is 453)

- Octoball Derby: 181 (WR is 213 (max is 255)
- Rupee Rush Lorule: 1026 rupees (WR is about 1300)

Treacherous Tower is my strongest of all minigames:

- Beginner: 7 seconds (even a monkey can tie this WR!)
- Intermediate: 44 seconds (WR, no vid sadly)
- Advanced: 4 minutes and 3 seconds (WR, sub is possible)

About that 500 rupees thing, Rupee Rush is seriously the best way to earn rupees quick, I can get 500 consistently, but only if you can get at least 2 purple hehe...
The guy who held the old Lorule WR of Rupee Rush shared his route and it got improved many times (at times when I did Treacherous Tower) and his most recent version goes like this:

Fountain (1 or 2 purple, 1-4 reds), Meteorite, Pillars south-east (if lucky, a purple and some reds), pillars north (purple, red).
Short version, but those are the spots.

You'll need a hookshot for grabbing distant rupees (only for north imo), hammer for the meteor and sand rod to cross over the pillar tops.
Chance to get 500 at least: About 65-80% (RNG is unpredictable hehe)
