DK64: Donkey Kong Arcade 47k

After watching The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, I was inspired to play Donkey Kong and try to set my own personal high score. I'm also bored since it's a Friday night, the school year is almost over, and it's been a while since I've uploaded anything onto Youtube. I'm not trying to compete seriously for a DK record, so don't go around calling me a noob or anything. Just in case any pro arcade gamers are watching this, I have 2 question.
1. Can you qualify for a high score if you play home ports of arcade games? For example, the Donkey Kong game on Donkey Kong 64 or the Pac-Man port on the Xbox Live Arcade.

2. What tips can you give me that can help me improve my game?

I played this game on an arcade machine in Winnipeg once. But the one on DK64 seems a bit harder. Why?

my best on the n64 version is 334,000. btw, the n64 version is much easier than the arcade version, probably due to much smoother controls and that you swing the hammer much faster, and the hammer becomes "active" the second you touch it, rather about a second after you land. the fireballs on the pie factory don't respawn. The springs on the elevators move much slower. The fireballs on the barrel stage aren't nearly as aggressive. So, to answer question 1, no. My record on the original dk; 119k.

@dallase1 I can jump on the very top platform. On the arcade version.

Why does nobody ever do the Super Jump on any version of Donkey Kong on the elevators board?
