You're not kidding.  One drop of fruit and one jump of a bird is all that separates us.

Yeah that was fun.   Although I don't see the same kind of competition happening with Urban Champion.  I really never want to play that game again.

That's it!  Nice scores everyone.

How do you do get junior to jump high off the springboard on to the moving platform above in the second stage??

Just hit the button when spring is in the bottom position

I haven't been able to do it when the distance is shortened starting 5-2. Now that the stakes are gone, I might mess around some more.

I don't think it can be done normally.  You can just run and jump and catch the platform (barely) up until level 5.  Then, as you point out. the platform doesn't move as far so it's impossible unless you wait for a bit and even then it's tricky (I did it once by accident).

If you did it by accident, it gives me hope it can be replicated  Before level 5, I always springboarded onto the platform, and I didn't try to rush things (that usually resulted in death). 5 and later, I had to completely change my bottom half of the level strategy. In fact, the egg even drops differently from 5 to 6. I really liked that the screens made you change up your patterns with higher levels, it kept things fresh. I was always pushing to get to the next level b/c I wanted to see what things were different.

I was aiming for 250,000 points by the seventh loop because I figured that's as good as I could do.  Somehow, I ended up in the friggin' letter stages with this score.

Holy moly dude. And I was over the moon with my score. Nice job! Something to shoot for.

Thank you!  Your score is great and it was pretty frustrating just trying to get close to it.  You should definitely give DK Jr. another go!
