fakecortex Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 DK Jr Challenge - 24,200 I can't seem influence where the baddies go, so I have no clue how everyone is getting such high scores. Nice job, here's to eking my way into the second round. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice job, here's to eking my way into the second round. My pattern, which I'm sure wasn't the best, was try to get the following per life Line up a two baddie drop on the first vine Line up a one baddie drop on the 2nd vine after 1st platform (rarely had the patience so usually skipped.) Line up (two) one baddie drops on the vine bundle above the grass platforms (a two drop is really crowded in here) Line up a one baddie blue drop on the topmost vine. Do the DK ankle jump on the top platform right next to the two rightmost vines on the last red baddie who never leaves these two vine and, as far as I can tell, no fruit can be dropped on him. But you can do the jump trick next to him when he's ascending or descending the vine to get credit for jump points. He has to be on the vine closest to the platform and in some lives he just never comes over. Pretty random. If I could pull this off (more or less) each life I can get 6-7k per life. Hard to make all that come together 5 times in a row. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
