How are you awarded points in Startropics?
Is it for enemy you kill you get X pts?
Is it how fast you beat a level?
Or is it every time you get hurt/ die you get X points subtracted from a number and that is how many points you get.
Someone please explain how you get points.

The point system in ST and ST2 is a very complicated thing. I don't think that any of us here would be able to tell you how exactly points are awarded and what exactly the significance of them are. If anyone DOES know, however, please don't hesitate to tell us!

I think a lot of it has to do with time taken to complete a level.

That's a really good question. Hopefully someone knows this so I don't have to figure it out myself for my ST game.

Forget the Hollywood mess. If I was host, I'd have Wheel tape on C-Island. :)

That's been my one biggest question with ST... It is probably a mixture of many different things (enemies killed, time taken, deaths, items picked up, hearts left...). One of these days, when I have some free time (winter break??? ) I should try and figure it out. One thing I've noticed though, in some of the shorter caves in ST and ST2, I've gotten a lot more points than I have in some of the longer caves... Another thing, with the final battle in ST, where you fight 3 bosses (technically), I always seem to get an average amount of points as compared to the other tunnels in the rest of the game, where I'd think that it should be the one where I get A LOT MORE!

I'ts probably enemies killed then. I way to find out for sure is to kill all the enemies in a level (Cave 1 makes this the easiest) and write down the number of points you got. Then beat the level again but take a little longer. see if the points are the same or different. I'll try it soon.
