In MM I'm thinking of making the time bonus more valuable and that
should pretty much fix the problem. I could also make items give you
more points. If someone could point me to the hex values to change I
would be very grateful.

In MM, all score increments are a power of 10 (1,10,100 etc.) For
example, the code to boost the score when an item is collected goes
like this:

8F82: 21 2C 84 LD HL,842Ch
8F85: CD FE 90 CALL 90FEh

This adds 100 points. You change the number of points by changing HL:

LD HL,842Ah adds 10000 points.
LD HL,842Bh adds 1000 points.
LD HL,842Ch adds 100 points.
LD HL,842Dh adds 10 points.
LD HL,842Eh adds 1 point.

The score increment when air is running down is:

90BA: 21 2E 84 LD HL,842Eh
90BD: CD FE 90 CALL 90FEh

and the other time is when a Kong Beast is killed:

91DA: 21 2C 84 LD HL,842Ch
91DD: CD FE 90 CALL 90FEh

A similar system is used to detect when the number of Willies should
be boosted.

90EE: FE 2A CP 2Ah

-- That is, when the 10000s digit is changed, the number of lives is
boosted.
