Donkey Kong - NEW PR (246,100)!!!
CrazyKongFan:
Until I saw King of Kong, I never knew you could control the barrels, but I did notice frequently when you were just below the top beam, going up that last ladder, many times as you went toward the ladder, the barrel Kong rolled out would go down the broken ladder. I just never put 2 and 2 together that I was actually having an influence on it ;D
As to the hiding spots on Ms Pac, it's pretty much crucial if you want to get very far. You'll also need to learn how to group and use the hide spots to force them to go certain ways once you get to the slow boards (starting at 21). Sadly, I can't get anywhere near there on regular speed (turbo is alot easier, I think I've gotten in the 50's)

I haven't upped my overall score yet but I did figure out a way to squeeze a few thousand extra points out of the first level. I take the 100 points from the blue barrel at the beginning and then ride the fireball to the first ladder for a few hundred more. Then I end up taking the first hammer for extra points. The problem is that this makes the level much harder to get to the top but if I do I usually have 8,000+ points going into level 2 instead of ~6,000 or so. I thought of stole the idea from this insanity:

that is crazy...
i guess i need to practice alot more...every time i try to get a ton of points on the barrel stage, i die. I generally try to get to the second hammer as quickly as possible, which doesn't get me alot of points, but at least i can get through that stage

That is my exact strategy too. On the first level I am willing to take the chance for more points so it doesn't ruin a good game. Otherwise I just race up to the second hammer as fast as possible.
Ginsu Victim:
That first barrel jump in the video is too dangerous to do that way. Take one step to the right, then when the barrel is falling, jump straight up as it reaches the bottom of the girder above you. The timing takes a few tries to learn, but after that, you can do it every time and you don't have to worry about touching the barrel.
Jumping ahead of the fire repeatedly is a strategy I love, but I have a harder time completing the level after doing it for a while. If you linger too long, you'd better make sure you can control the barrels as you move up the board.
