DK - did you know....

The second time on girders, you know how some people wait for the barrel and jump it, or wait until it almost hits them in the back and then jump and you get 100 points for proximity?
Well, what about the first blue barrel? I doubt it's original, but I don't recall seeing anyone doing it or talking about it, and so I tried it. It's not easy, actually. There's a special timing required, where you go behind the oil furnace, and right when the barrel hits the girder just above you, you run and jump, and clear it!
It has to be right, cos obviously due to how the game handles collision detection in that part of the screen, you don't even have to touch the barrel to die.
Try it out.

I will try it out - anything to improve my pathetic score!
CrazyKongFan:
If you watch videos/MAME INPs of some of the higher scoring players, they wait for the blue barrel to drop, jump next to it, then jump ahead of the spawned fireball to get several hundred points while they wait for barrels to get near the bottom. Most of them use the bottom hammer to point press too.

This is what I do. Learned it from Scott Kessler.

I'm not sure I understand that one, and will have to look for it.
