Tool-assisted superplay (TAS) of Paperboy Middle Road 426,907

The goal of this TAS:
-Get the highest score possible

After seeing the finished video, I have spotted some place where I could do more points. I may eventually improve this score.

Notes:
-Difficulty: Medium Hard (factory setting)
-I try to shoot things in that order:
-The flowers give the most points but you have to run over them.
-Next are things that go ZAP! (500 points) (mostly humans)
-Windows, lamps, tombstone award progressive points if they are from the same house. (200, 250, 300, 350, 400, 450, 500 points)
-Jump (400 points)
-Others: trash can, doghouse (200 points)
-There is a limitation for how much newspaper can be in the air at the same time.
-This number is 9
-But, this number decrease by one each time you shoot a mailbox
-At the beginning of a day and for the training course, the number is reset to 9
-if you shoot 9 mailboxes, you cannot shoot anymore
-So, It is impossible to shoot the 10 mailboxes.
-I am not sure if it is a feature or a bug.
-So, you have to think of how many newspapers you want to be able to shoot at the same time.
-I think 4 or 5 is a good number be able to shoot consecutive windows
-So, the maximum mailbox you want to shoot is 4 or 5
-In the training course, you have to take a jump to replenish your stock of newspapers
-In the training course you can shoot targets that are far left, even if you cannot see the awarded score
-Hard way is coming soon
