There's your answer!  I can't imagine playing this on anything except a 4-way.  I think Mario freezes when a diagonal is pressed because the game doesn't know which way to go!   :dizzy:

Im pretty terrible at it, so I wont blame the stick just yet (I rock the house on ms.pacman/pacman), however I'm even worse on Donkey Kong Jr. then regular old DK (for some reason I just toss my lives away on the chain chomp /key level, bird pWnage) I planned on wiring some kinda connector to the front of my CP that I can plug the 4 way in and set it on top, cause I dont play that many 2way/4 way games

also...I watched a guy play out at CGE2k4 I think....he controlled the barrels with his movement.  If you turn towards a barrel when it's just above a ladder you can usually make it fall down that ladder  In the later leves you don't even need to be very close to it.
