Why do perfect run scores in the same stage vary so much?
I'm sitting with a pen n paper, trying to compute the theoretical maximum score in Stage 1! Why do the base scores vary by up to 3k even on perfect runs?
Till now I have found the wooden crates giving 1000 points/stars/power-ups as the only possible variation. Is there more?

Are you accounting for bonuses for things like defeating all enemies?

Yup, by perfect run I meant getting all bonuses in one game

There is some variation in what powerups are dropped from glowing planes and that are found in crates.
If you are full health, then health hearts give you a small amount of points, but these seem to drop randomly with main weapon power ups.

I was maxed out on main weapon, so the main weapon power ups weren't dropping.. I'm usually full health too since I play with the Limp Berserker.. There wasn't enough noticable variation in the bonuses to cause that much of difference! Anyway it was a long time ago, I've stopped playing after I cleared stage 12! Thanks for your time!
