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

congrats javeryh..thats a good score. my highest was 122,000, and that was on the DK cab at kennywood park, i've never made it that high here at home....

I always take the second hammer for points and as a way to (almost) guarantee safety until the bottom of the ladder in the upper right. Also, a really big thing to know is that you can jump over a barrel while running in the same direction as it is coming at you (AWAY from you). This saves me at least 2 or 3 times every time I play and gets me through what used to look like an impossible scenario based on the spacing of the barrels. I hope this helps.

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.
