Hey everybody. I'm hardly an expert at Arkanoid/Arkanoid Revenge of Doh. So, please help me out. On level 7 (US version of Doh) there is a barrier of "unbreakable" gold bricks. I've recently witnessed someone managing to grab a multi-ball pill and the multi-balls show up above the barrier. This, of course, creates a potential unlimited amount of points from what I'm seeing. The player had presented a 1-minute or so video of this happening. He's claiming a "world record" of 7+ million points from this glitch. I advised him that I'm not so sure others would see it that way as the glitch rendered the game useless in terms of actual gameplay demonstration. Has anyone else seen this glitch?
 
Doh has exits on both sides after clearing the blocks, so level 7 is relative to the exits the player chooses.

If the player in the OP always exits to the right, level 7 has gold blocks across the entire screen about 1.25" from the top. (D)isrupt (multi) normally works by splitting the ball when the player catches the D capsule.

Described glitch seems unlikely, but anything is possible. Under normal conditions the original ball is always below the gold blocks at the top of that screen making the scenario described impossible. Maybe it's like the Commando glitch where you can shoot enemies at the top of the screen by standing near the bottom and firing down (shots wrap around to the top)?

As far as a world record score as a result? LOLNO. :)
