Most of them use the bottom hammer to point press too.

Ohhh. You mean, both jump points' are awarded by proximity. Yeah, hadn't thought of that. Actually, I can't see the time it takes for that to really increase score. At best, it might match what you'd lose on the timer?

Ummon:

Okay, I tried this. I couldn't get the barrel jump, but got the fireball one.

Kong releases <timer/100>+1 barrels, so there's 51 barrels total on level 1 (timer starts at 5000). Any extra points you can get on top of jumping over every barrel adds up. If you can get the barrels doubled up and jump them (for 300 or 500), and run down the ladder and jump them again, yuo can really gain some ground. You can also jump the ahead of fireball at the bottom (already mentioned), but if you can time it to get a barrel in that jump, that'll give you 300. That's how the guys get so much extra points. The MAME record right now is 12,800! (I sometimes don't even have that at the end of the rivet level ;D )

Ummon:

I've gotten 800 from jumping three barrels, or from being in a really odd and tight spot where I jumped a couple, and had my back to a ladder and barrel came down it at the same time, or was moving and just missed getting bonked by it coming down.

I've nowhere near the level of interest that I'd explore all this kind of point-press, though.

Wow, and here I thought I was doing pretty well getting 9500 sometimes.

Oh well...
