+therealbountybob Posted November 23, 2010 Author Share Posted November 23, 2010 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 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.

Fres Posted November 24, 2010 Share Posted November 24, 2010 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.

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.

+therealbountybob Posted November 25, 2010 Author Share Posted November 25, 2010 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!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

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.

There's only 4 Marios maximum in the game so I guess you meant multiple games when you say you lost "5 Marios". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't you meant to be recovering Pauline's things 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 p.s. Sloopy I make that 10th... just Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
