The low score for screen 1 wasn't as much fun as I thought, I managed 200 (100+100 bonus) too, would be better if the fire bugs came up the top ladders... I guess technically it'll be possible to not jump any barrels and then camp out on the last ladder :ponder:

Level 1 score 11,800

Score 88,600 on main go, got to level 4... much more to come here!

The flame does come up on that top ladder but it's low probability. Just like it's low probability barrels come down ladders on level 1. I gave it a few goes and here's my scores in case pictures are blurry: 100 lowest score (had to take picture on next screen as it doesn't pause at that point), 11500 highest for level 1, 127500 for total score so far.

wow 127k already :thumbsup: - was that level 6 or 8 (the photo was that blurry!) - I've never beaten 7... yet... did you manage screen 1 100pts as in 1 barrel jumped - you can take the screen shot at the start of level 2 folks (see my post above) ;)

 

Someone clever should much increase that probability to stop people camping out there, and also let you go up the other top ladders, I always wanted to know what was up that other ladder :D

Donkey Kong - 86700.

 

I've broken 100k on this before, but only once. The 3rd elevator screen took almost all of my lives (I had lost one on the 2nd pie screen earlier).

 

Probably one of my top 10 favorites on any system: Atari 8-bit DK.

Sorry, I had to beat you at one of your favorite game. Maybe you'll get better luck next time. I never die on the elevator screens.

I had to play again to get better pictures. So, lowest score is 100, highest so far 11600, and 129K for highest. I am consistently getting 125K average. That level 5 2nd barrel screen is where I am losing my men. I got level 5 without losing a man (see picture) than the barrels increase in complexity to avoid. I did get to level 7 once when I started from level 5 but don't have that picture.

 

Way to get 100 on first screen is to camp out on ladders to avoid barrels completely since it's low proability of barrels coming down ladders.

I'm losing it, didn't manage over 80K despite a lot of goes and much cussing :|

 

12,600 for the first level though... Hammer Time!!!

post-19705-129072611782_thumb.jpg

 

Hammer is unnecessary in level 1 but I played it again using it to try to get higher score in level 1. Ended up getting higher score overall as well. 12,100 in level 1 without losing a man.

Maybe you'll get better luck next time. I never die on the elevator screens.

 

How are you not dying on the harder elevator screens with the two bouncy things? I lost 4 marios trying to get past those things at the top. The timing has to be wicked tricky :? :

 

46,200

I try and run towards them and then back off (your instincts to duck kick in) - do some of them in two stages: wait for barrel to pass, go up ladder towards and under one, then go past the ladder and duck another and then go back and go up the ladder. Try practising by starting on the higher levels :)

Yeah, and it's not worth getting those bonus gifts since that would increase your chances of losing a Mario especially at higher levels. There's only 4 Marios maximum in the game so I guess you meant multiple games when you say you lost "5 Marios".

Aren't you meant to be recovering Pauline's things :D I go for the bonuses most times, don't want the game to psyche you out into a quivering wreck hiding behind the buring tar barrel to keep warm :ponder:

 

p.s. Sloopy I make that 10th... just :P
