Donkey Kong Strategy vid by Richie Knucklez #3

How to get the most points possible on the very first board of the classic arcade game Donkey Kong. some consider it point leeching but both Billy Mitchell and Steve Weibe use similar techniques to reach one million points before the kill screen

isnt all that kinda pointless since ur just loosing points from the bonus?

[richieknucklez]

run to the top as fast as possible and skip all the point pressing techniques and check your score. tops will be in the 5K range. Donkey Kong ends at level 22.

Maximizing points on every level is the only way to get a million point game

[richieknucklez]

yeah, I heard Billy Mitchell brag about reaching 13K but I am yet to see a video of over 10K I personally on my best most luckiest run hit just shy of 11K, but of course was not video taping that performance

@MokeTip Yep, I've seen it. I'll never be able to have a score that high but have broke 11k. I haven't played that in awhile since I only play the arcade version now. Thanks for the info though.

@JoeCnNd I believe it was Dean Saglio, the MAME INP replay file is available for download on Twin Galaxies.

@richieknucklez Someone officially broke the 13k mark. It's on twin galaxies.

@richieknucklez 13k has finally been officially beaten. The game looked like it could have gone more too. It was 13,100 but looked to be able to get 13,500 at least.

@bliss1083 10,900 is my best now.

@Luigi84289 If I try to just be quick sometimes 2 will be coming at me on the ledge under DK and he'll throw one at me making it to where I have to take a hit. Anybody know the trick? Do you have to get the first hammer is that it? Does that allow you to get through the top every time?

[Luigi84289]

What is a sure fire way to beat the barrel level every time. I can't figure out a perfect strategy if I stay back once I get half way up and try to dodge the barrels until I have an opening sometimes they'll come at me in a formation I can't jump over and I die.

[Luigi84289]

@richieknucklez Beating the game is enough for me.

[bliss1083]

@stachuk1992 150k average is good. Where are you at now 11 months later?

8400 is my best first 1-1 board.
