HSC8 Round 13: Donkey Kong Jr


Recommended Posts

Banana: 310!

Wish there was a way to stop the screen from jumping when you get to level 2. Ugh...

Just tested banana on Altirra - looks like an NTSC issue so play on PAL if you can (sorry real NTSCers ) shame as it looks like a nice display list effort.

 

DKjr 69,900 made it to level 4

Setting Banana to PAL did the trick...and boosted my score a tad: 330!

320 Drat! (going to make this 2pts for winning and 1pt for other places as the game is limited).

Kong 28,450 - can't seem to get down safely after the top right telephone on 3rd screen...

DK Jr 99,700 and 18,500 for level 1 :)

HINTSThe game is darn tough, but once you suss out where you can stand before jumping etc it's not too bad. I think I've finally realised that the top row of sparks are in a pattern so I'm hoping to be able to beat level 4 sometime this week. Always jump early for the top key! Be patient and hide!!!

 

Anyone know how DK jr compares to the arcade ver - I guess it moves pixel by pixel rather than in blocks like our ver :?:

 

p.s. chuckwalla in the house :thumbsup:

Once you've played a bit there are only really two places on the game that should cause you trouble. Those being the middle of the first board and the top of the second.

 

The middle of the first board is the place where I lose a lot of lives on the later levels, after levels 4 or 5 it gets very busy on the three vines above the middle two brick platforms. I tend to wait on the last brick platform until there is a safe moment to climb the vines. Once clear of the platform I stick to the two vines on the far right of the screen unless there is a safe opportunity to go back and knock the fruit down.

 

The top of the second is just about practice, and whilst probably the most difficult bit of the game once you've cracked it you won't lost many lives here. Once at the top of the board you have to be patient and work your way across the vines to the vine before the gap in the platform where the birds come through. At the bottom of this vine you're safe, edge your way up until the lowest flying bird passes behind juniors head, then just wait for one of the birds that fly just under the platform. If you don't hesitate, and climb as soon as the bird cuts under the platform you will always avoid the next bird as you cross to the last two vines.

 

Once you know the pattern of the sparks and have worked out when to run this board is the easiest on the game as it doesn't really get any more difficult as the game progresses.

 

The last board gets very busy after the early levels but if you're careful and learn to judge where the birds are going to cut across the screen then you will get the hang of it. Obviously the more snap dragons you can get rid of the better.

 

Most of the game doesn't seem to get much more difficult after level 6.
