+therealbountybob Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 MR DO! & MR DO!'S CASTLE We've played the beloved Mr Do! many times, bit easy for the experts perhaps but Mr. Do!'s Castle is another kettle of fish.

I think I have a copy with loads of lives but it's probably too many for here, may be able to find my notes and change it. Ages since I played MDC but remember it being quite good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ages since I played MDC but remember it being quite good Mr Do's Castle is good. Sort of a cross between Lode Runner and Miner49er. Three lives is enough to get a good taste of it. First go around just made it to level 2. With a couple plays after definitely got better and almost made it to level 4. . I think 5 or 6 would have been ideal but 3 may be good enough for HSC purposes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKong Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 I saw 3 or 4 diamonds appear on the screen, but was unable to collect any of them unfortunately! What happens if you collect one? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted July 13, 2023 Author Share Posted July 13, 2023 Also seen a couple of Diamonds but failed to get them and even lost lives trying !! Mr Do!'s Castle - keep at it, think it is ok. When you get all the keys the flashing door at the top seems to stay on - no time limit. Only strategy i've found is to lure them up before collecting otherwise they stay safe on the edge ladders. Best score only level 3 - 36,020 had loads of blue guys after me and kept killing them and just surviving for a while - was frantic but fun!! Another power blip on a reallyu good Mr Do! go darn it!

rdrunner Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 The diamond is worth 8000 points and also immediately clears the level. On the arcade version, it also plays a special screen and gives you a free game (literally increases your credit count). Not sure, but I think this is one of the only non-pinball machines that does this! I also have Mr. Do for the Super Nintendo. On that version, it amusingly plays the same screen as the arcade about the free game, even though it's a console port with no credit emulation. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
autumn_fire Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 Mr. Do's Castle: 9660 (Screen 3) Mr. Do: 28250 Mr. Do (3 round time): 84 seconds The controls on the ladders for Mr. Do's Castle are hard to judge and end up spending more time going up or down instead of getting off on the desired platform. Even tried using a Genesis controller and didn't really help. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 Minor improvements on Mr. Do: First three levels: 68 seconds (1:08) only focusing on clearing the level, not maximizing points First three levels: 17800 pts (77 seconds) while getting lucky Total score: 31900 pts No improvements on the castle. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
