fakecortex Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 I've always steered clear of dk jr b/c I've always found it to be crazy hard (and I can't stand how you die when you fall just a teeny bit). But after giving it some more attention here, I'm enjoying it more than I thought and I'm excited to break my current high...unlike Mach Rider, where I felt I was lucky. 74,700 Level 3-3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) Slight improvement. I think my favorite level portions go 4, 3, 1, 2. That's just in general, haven't gotten far enough to change it so far. 78,600 Oh, and I gave Golf a shot. First time playing through an entire game, as I've mostly ignored it before. Tempest, I hope you're not bragging with your +18, b/c I got +92! We're doing a HIGH score club right? Not an official submission b/c I will definitely be playing again. It's cool to see how much Wii Sports Golf took from NES Golf. Now that's a golf game I've sunk some time into.

You just have to practice with them a bit on the first hole. Honestly I think I used one wood and one iron the entire game. The wind usually doesn't effect anything unless it's like 10 mph or more. You can also learn how to hook/slice shots which helps on one or two holes. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fakecortex Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I'll be keeping that manual handy when I play next. It has a nice table in the back that goes over yardage for each club. BTW, anyone know how handicaps work in the game? There's a table for that as well. I know very little about golf...I was actually just googling different terms that they use in the instructions, lol. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 I think the better you are the higher your handicap to help bring your score down. Not 100% sure on that though. Everything I know about golf I learned from this game and Neo Turfmasters. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fakecortex Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Thoughts on Golf- it says a lot about Nintendo's impression of their difficulty level when the the default high on the title screen is +28... Gave it another shot using the club table in the manual as reference, and increased my initial playthrough score from +92 to +56. I then followed the only guide on gamefaqs (https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/nes/578275-golf/faqs/15591) as my personal caddy to recommend a club. It doesn't guarantee a great play, but it did have me hovering around -1 to +2 for the first couple of holes. Towards the end...not so much. Next games were +43, +41, +42, so score one for consistency. My hat's off to anyone who scores under par for those bonus points. Till then, just lookin' to beat Tempest's +18 haha. Even tho it's harder to score bonus points for, Golf is a hell of a lot more fun than Soccer and Baseball! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
