Andrew Barrow got 2,905,000 in Donkey Kong 3 Hard!
« on: September 22, 2018, 06:30:13 am »
To be honest, this is really an amazing score.  Andrew Barrow is now officially by all accounts the 2nd best Donkey Kong 3 player ever to play the game.   His progress in this game has been fantastic.  If he wants it bad enough he can become the King of Donkey Kong 3.  I have no doubts about that.  He has the talent.

Cheers George :)

Looks like I made it to board 146, so still a few to go before the RBS. There's more work to be done

Congrats mate, what's the next milestone?


Basic questions (probably asked 500 times)

Does the game die at level 256?

What is the World Record?

I really don't even know what this accomplishment means, but it sure sounds large.  'Grats!

Next milestone: Rank A requirement for DK Masters: Board 160, which is called the "repetitive blue screen". Boards 159, 160 and every subsequent one until the boards loop at 256, is a blue one. 256 (0) is blue, then the game reverts back to stage 1 like you are starting a new game.
Here's some more information about the RBS

World record for all DK3 settings can be found here

To think of the significance of this.  Let's put it this way.  Imagine someone getting the 2nd highest score for a somewhat popular game.  So think 1.5 million for Junior Pac Man.   4 million for Zaxxon, 7 million for Timber, 900k for Crystal Castles.  And Donkey Kong 3 actually has more submissions than many more games than you would think.  Yeah, it's big news.  2nd place all time.  It's a big deal.
