darthkur Posted November 23, 2009 Share Posted November 23, 2009 (edited) You are Mario, the fearless carpenter, and that big gorilla, Donkey Kong has run off with your girlfriend, Pauline. It's up to you to struggle up those ladders and balance on those beams to rescue your lady fair. She's held captive at the very top. But Donkey Kong is not ready to give her up so easily. He's tossing barrels at you at every turn. It's up to you to outmaneuver that wily ape. Good luck, your lady awaits. Emulators are fine as is whatever controller you feel the most comfortable with. Screenshots are great but not mandatory. Please do not use any cheat/hack options. These include auto-fire, unlimited lives, invincibility, etc. Settings: Standard (Default) Contest ends on: 12-7-09 at 1:00am EST.

thursday83 Posted November 24, 2009 Share Posted November 24, 2009 I wonder if Billy or Steve from "King Of Kong" have ever played this version. If not we should challenge them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darthkur Posted November 24, 2009 Author Share Posted November 24, 2009 I wonder if Billy or Steve from "King Of Kong" have ever played this version. If not we should challenge them. I would wager they both have played every port of DK there is when considering the level of their obsession with the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roadrunner Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 I don't see how you guys are getting scores between 71k - 91k Mario keeps getting stuck on the ladders Their must be super glue or something on them. My new high score is 50,400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomickneedrop Posted December 7, 2009 Share Posted December 7, 2009 for me, the second screen poses the biggest challenge, with the springy-thing near DK. thats usually what does me in. on the 3rd screen, i just utilize both hammers on the later levels.

Yeah, the springy things are definitely the hardest on the second level. Sometimes I would get stuck on the ladders, so I started pushing "up" just a bit longer than you think you need to, and that seemed to work.
