Nice Job DKG, you are the man

Donkey Kong is the best game ever. But the one i have. On the bezel, donkey Kong has one hand in the air (kinda waving at mario) and the other hand he is picking his gorilla nose

Could you PLEASE actually explain the movements related to barrel control? You sort of glaze over it and just continue to say "controlling barrels". How do you control them? Do you have to be next to ladders in an uphill position? Do you move left and right. Do you jump and push in a direction? What controls barrel control? I love the in depth analysis. I like that you're so hardcore at whippen dem barrels. Please share this detail with me.

The game checks if you are moving towards the ladder in question when a barrel reaches the top. Also if you are on the ladder or even on the horizontal position this too will cause the barrel come down.

Any thoughts on producing training videos for Donkey Kong Junior? Is there enough interest to make it worth it? If I were to submit my best scores, I would certainly qualify as a competitive player, but have yet to get my first kill screen. Missed it by one level twice :) Feel like I've got a pretty firm grasp of how to point press the levels, but would be interested to hear your thoughts. Just to give you an idea as to what type of gamer I am, when working, I setup my iPad to play KZbin videos of Donkey Kong and Donkey Kong Junior record runs, and set it just to the side of my computer. Yes, I'm that dork.

I have some content that could be helpful to you here: kzbin.info/aero/PLWERTGPEHqYaGYo9a6aHNtrG95bIPcwXh

[@dallastaylor7106]

Thank you sir. Greatly appreciated. I watch most of your videos anyway, but somehow missed a couple of these. Believe it or not, the damned springboard level gets me more often than anything else. Just like in Donkey Kong, I have a hard time focusing on the enemies being deployed, and that gets me killed. :) If / when I get my first kill screen, I'll raise a pint to you sir.

[@CLChambers00Gaming]

:D Indeed, the spring board is completely patternable. The birds can also be manipulated. I wrote up a technical analysis of it here: wiki.donkeykonggenius.com/Advanced_Springboard_Strategy

I had this game on the original for Double A's game boy and I have it now on the switch and it seems like they did away with the side flip that makes you rape levels

[@devtoo6779]

If I knew they change the controls I wouldn't have bought the game
