Jordan Chambers

Butterfly Milk!

Jordan gets passed the first elevator board all by himself!
He is coming for you Vincent Lemay!

Jordan's new personal best has been verified:  21,300 on 11/09/2014  (ending on Level 02-3)

The  Donkey Kong High Score List  has been updated.

The youthful and energetic Chambers sailed smoothly through the first level.  The Level 01-2 rivet stage featured a well-executed jump over a firefox on the top platform with 3500 on the bonus timer.  Demonstrating that the maneuver was no fluke, he duplicated the feat on the middle platform, just before clearing the final rivet.

I may have to steal Jordan's Level 01 rivet pattern.  As of late, the various strategies I've been using have been woefully inadequate.

Jason's 5th place DKO #5 score has been verified:  908,000 on 11/09/2014 (KS)

The  Donkey Kong High Score List  has been updated.

Jason also becomes a first-time contributor to the DK Data Library:

Jason Wade - 908,000 (KS) on 11/09/2014

Good luck with your future high score attempts, but please try to keep your PB below 950k.  Much appreciated.

Billy Gaines
531,800

This one was for Jacob 'Marathon Boy' Wells ... RIP buddy

Billy's latest high score has been verified:  531,800 on 11/09/2014  (ending on Level 15-2)

The  Donkey Kong High Score List  has been updated.

This game represents Billy's first successful assault on the Top 100.  Within a span of 25 minutes, he passed his previous personal best as reported on the HSL, then his "unofficial" high score, then 400k, then Eminem, and finally 500k.  Nicely done!

Jacob Wells is undoubtedly proud of the commanding performance, and touched by the heartfelt dedication.

The game summary is attached (and the Arizona Cardinals are 9-1).

It wasn't officially submitted in this thread, but the following DKO #5 score has been verified:

Jonathan McCourt - 912,500 on 11/09/2014  (ending on Level 21-6)

The  Donkey Kong High Score List  has been updated.

What began as a Lakemanesque piss & moan festival ended with a new personal best, supporting the belief that unfavorable randomness can only keep a top player down for so long.

The original Twitch broadcast was plagued by technical difficulties:  17 of the 116 boards are completely or partially missing from the video streams.  I have attempted to put the segments back together and re-broadcast the available portions of the game on our DKF channel:

The game summary, courtesy of Professor Young, is attached.  Jeremy has painstakingly recorded the scores that could be accurately determined, and estimated the ones that could not.

Crazy level 2 Rivet escape!!

enjoy!!   

Hey Josh,

Unfortunately, your DK submission does not satisfy our criteria for HSL acceptance.  There was no INP file provided, and the video stream captures only the inner MAME window.  I fully believe that your score is legit, but I wish to maintain a consistent verification policy, treating all submissions equally and fairly.  Making an exception in this case sets an undesirable precedent.

I'm confident that your next high score could be achieved as early as today.  When it happens, please help us out by including the INP file with your submission.

For the record, I did thoroughly enjoy your Level 02 rivet escape.

I was recently gathering data for a separate DK project related to high scores.  While scanning this Score Submissions topic in its entirety, I came across a number of Level 05 "start" submissions that were received before game summaries became a routine part of the verification process.  For those players who submitted to the  Start HSL  and were disappointed by the absence of a detailed score breakdown, I shall attempt to remedy that condition immediately.  The submitted scores below are presented in chronological order by date achieved.  Some of the scores have been superseded by more recent submissions, but I'm including them anyway.  The summaries have already been compiled, so I might as well share everything.

I am posting my highest start that I got an inp for.

Corey Chambers:  125,800 on 08/07/2013

I'd like to submit a 124,100 no-death start I did about 15 minutes ago. Also, Adam was watching my stream. I decided to keep going, even though I had about 5k less than I would like after level 1.

Excellent start, Mark!

Where's the [Like] button for "Green Onions" at the beginning of Level 03?

I'm confident that Jeff Wolfe would also enjoy your listening material.
