Earning 667 Rings+ on Egg Fleet [Team Dark]

This guide will guide a person when striving to achieve a good ring total on Egg Fleet with Team Dark. This guide is not a step-by-step guide and this guide is meant to help anyone going for a ring total of 667, my current record as of November 7th, 2006, or higher. Anyway, pay close attention to the following info:

So, let's get started then. (If you get higher in any area, that's, obviously, a good thing! :P)

1st Checkpoint: 177
Before 1st Propeller: 203
2nd Checkpoint/After Propeller: 253 (I actually missed one ring here, so 254 possible.)
After 1st Ship Destroyed: 299
Bonus Rings: 300 ( Definitely more possible; only got one in Rings. :( )
3rd Checkpoint/Before 2nd Propeller: 511
4th Checkpoint/Final Ship: 582 [71 along Propeller Run; don't forget to jump off onto one of the ships.]
Final/Goal: 667 [There are 85 rings on this ship.]

Yes, this record I currently have as of November 7th can be broken in two areas: the Bonus Rings right after the first ship and the ring I missed along the 1st Propeller Run.

Anyway, hope this helps. :)
