OK, well looks like I'll put Ben's in then at 12,400....except I might have to deduct -200 for the foul language. LOL ...What da?

Hey Dave,

While scanning this thread, I noticed a few submissions that are incomplete (or still pending):

Category		Board Type		Score		Player Name		Forum Post		Details
Level 1-2		Rivets		14,300		Jeff Willms		Link		Not Yet Added
Level 2-3		Rivets		14,800		Scott Cunningham		Link		Highlight URL Missing
Level 3-3		Elevators		9,700		Dean Saglio		Link		Player Name Missing
Level 05+		Elevators		8,600		Scott Cunningham		Link		Highlight URL Missing

I can also provide the following items from the DK Data Library (they equal or surpass the scores currently listed):

Category		Board Type		Score		Player Name		Game Summary
Level 3-1		Barrels		14,800		Dean Saglio		Link
Level 3-4		Rivets		13,800		Jeff Wolfe		Link
Level 4-1		Barrels		15,000		Dean Saglio		Link
Level 4-5		Rivets		10,900		Dean Saglio		Link
Level 4-5		Rivets		10,900		Jeff Wolfe		Link
Level 05+		Barrels		16,000		Dean Saglio		Link

One additional request:

Could you correct the spelling of my last name on page one?  It should be "Cunningham".

One more submission for this youngster:

Level 11-6 Rivets:  12,700  (achieved on 12/08/2014)

http://www.twitch.tv/stella_blue/c/5646078

In this game, my goal was 1 million points using a "top hammer only" approach.  I was pleased with the overall elevator (7,100) and rivet (8,400) averages, but the barrels and conveyors were both below my typical numbers.  Also, all 4 deaths were the result of flawed execution (the 2nd death on Level 9-6 was inexcusable).  To reach my target, I'll have to step out of my comfort zone on the barrel boards.  Minimal grouping won't get the job done, and I can't rely on huge rivet stages to bail me out.

Final Score:  805,200  (ending on Level 18-5)

[LMDAVE]

OK, think I got most of those in. Been sick lately and haven't been on the board or playing much. Too bad you couldn't edit some of it also when you see it. Plus my formatting could use a makeover!

Hey Dave,

Thank you for the updates.

Perhaps Jeff could move this topic to the  Donkey Kong High Score Lists  subforum.  That's probably where it belongs anyway, with the exception of a certain "I am a fairy princess!" announcement at the bottom of page one.   

Once the thread has been relocated, you (as the topic's author) will be able to perform edits, and Jeremy and I can help out as needed.  Once again, I've drafted Jeremy for a project without his consent and/or knowledge.  I'm hoping he doesn't dispatch the Yakuza to teach me a lesson.

As for the formatting, I can easily construct a data table, since I've had a ton of practice with that stuff.

What do you think, Jeff?  Can this thread be transferred to the HSL area as a stickied topic?

[stella_blue]

I've been working with Dave and Jeremy on an updated listing of the individual board and level records (L01 to L04, and L05+).  The data and documentation have been gathered, although a few details have yet to be finalized.  In the meantime, I present the following "mega" start, a hypothetical score at the end of Level 04 if the high scores for the first 14 boards were all achieved during the same game:

												Level		Total
Level		Barrel		Conveyor		Barrel		Elevator		Rivet		Score		Score
01		13,600								14,300		27,900		27,900
02		13,800						9,200		14,800		37,800		65,700
03		14,800		11,600				9,700		13,800		49,900		115,600
04		15,000		11,100		14,900		8,200		11,700		60,900		176,500

Dat 175k

I might as well submit one more:

Level 4-5 Rivets:  11,700  (achieved on 12/18/2014)

https://www.twitch.tv/stella_blue/v/42473702

Nothing really special about this one, just a standard star pattern with cooperative fireballs.  The points awarded for the hammer smashes were slightly above average (2 x 800, 3 x 500, 3 x 300).

I would rather forget the remainder of the game.  It ended with back-to-back spring deaths.  Nice.

Final Score:  217,900  (ending on Level 6-4)

Dat 175k   

That was before today's update.  It now stands at 176,500.

Future submissions could push the total past the 180k mark.

The original post in this topic has been updated:

The records listed are the highest reported scores for which adequate documentation exists.

Hey, we've got to start somewhere.

[marinomitch13]

For the sake of unity, I will remove any of these "tracks" from my DK Challenges thread as soon as I have the time. 

Edit: Done. For posterity's sake, I will post what I just deleted from the DK Challenges thread here because it has some lower scores (realize, the DK Challenges thread does not have as rigorous verification standards nor was it as exhaustive as this thread, so bear that in mind; also, savestates attempts were allowed at the start of certain tracks):

1) Vincent, Ross, Dean, Ethan: 24,300
2) Jeff: 24,200

[Milehighdt]

Dave, how about adding highest board avg's for complete games

[f_symbols]

Dean got a 9600 level 2 spring today, I will make a video highlight later.

[xelnia]

Dean just got 15,200 on 4-3. Ethan will make a video highlight later.
