Very good start score.  Given all the new strats in the past five years it's amazing how Phil's score still stands.  I do expect it though to eventually be beaten.

It still stands because nobody intentionally grinds for it. When someone beats it, it will most likely be an accident during a regular run.

Hi all! I'm brand new to this scene and just started playing around a month ago. Super stoked to be here. I've been gaming over 30 years but am excited to get back to my roots and hopefully start submitting some scores.

Here's my best so far:

How do I keep doing it? 114,500. And something tells me this won't be the last time I improve my Start PB in my quest for a million.

Congrats sir! Your Start score has been verified and updated on the Start HSL. As with all things DK, there's a pretty big range in possible scores for a Start...RNGesus be praised. At KO3 I played a normal board-running game, and just pressed rivets and grabbed Level 2 and 3 spring prize...and I got a 117k start. So I think doing a bottom-hammer Level 4 you could expect over 120k. Obviously the more pressing you do the more you'll get, but I don't think you're at the upper end yet of what RNG will hand you (and I'm not saying you NEED RNG to get that , just be aware of what's really happening).

Wow, all the bbbs. Congrats sir, your Start score has been verified and updated on the Start HSL. You also set a new Level 4 rivet record, so that list has been updated as well.

Congrats Michael! Thanks for linking to the TG submission. I generally try to stay on top of TG stuff, so I think I had this one on our Level 1-1 HSL already.

Congrats sir! Some pretty solid play in there, so I imagine those much higher scores will come soon! Your score has been verified and updated on the HSL.

Looks good Stewart! Congrats on the PB, which has been verified and updated on the HSL!

One thing I might suggest is learning the "star" pattern on the rivet stage. Grab the bottom left rivet first, then the top two left rivets. After that grab the bottom hammer and smash as many firefoxes as possible, trying to stay on the right half of the screen (this will make them respawn on the left...on the other side of the now-empty rivet holes and away from you!). Then clear the right-side rivets and grab the top hammer as the situation allows. I think you'll see your survival rate/score jump pretty quickly.
