Nope, you are rather given the flexibility of choosing whether you prefer having more lives/bombs or more points by gathering the correct color of UFOs. So it means you need to master pretty much the whole game if you want the highest possible score (i.e. 3 lives clear).
Also, I could have gotten a much better score if I used multi-colored UFOs at the end of stages where tons of power items are available. (I did not know at the time they were converted to point items for that type of UFO)
Wow, nice run.
But points can no longer give you 1-ups?
That kinda sucks..
Even though you can get many 1-ups from UFOs if you try..
