I'm missing something on the 100 point pressing of the barrel on Donkey Kong

<< < (2/3) > >>

OK, it seems to me doing it two steps from the top step is working decently for me.  Standing straight or leaning forward doesn't seem to matter.  Surprised people are so tight lipped about this.  You'd think this would be discussed in more detail, but instead people act like is some top secret stuff. LOL

dnickolas:
It's just all about the second jump being close enough to the right edge to be within range when the barrel slows down while reaching the edge and falling off. And it's easy to die doing it because too late you'll be safe but not get the points, and then you compensate and kill yourself the next time.

lol you posted this an hour after your OP. Relax. You've had, what, 9 years or so to ask about it?

Edit:  Yet another important point.  Is there an optimal way for Mario to stand (leaning forward, standing straight, or facing backwards?)

It doesn't matter what direction you are facing. It only matters where you stand, and when you jump. The barrel SLOWS DOWN as it drops from that girder to the girder below it. You are leeching it (the second jump) as you would leech any barrel that you aren't jumping over. It is about timing. I hold RIGHT the entire time until I land after the second jump. It has to be timed so that you do not die in the first jump, but you jump early enough to leech the second jump. There is no secret here. You do not have to tap any direction more than once. Not to mention, this is hardly worth any extra points when you factor in Kong throwing wild barrels and barrels you'll miss on. I recommend improving other parts of your game long before this. I only do it when I am bored and tired of playing and don't care about dying (or on 1-1 and the stakes are so low I don't care if I die).

Honestly, if you can't figure it out on your own I wouldn't worry about it... Could just be you aren't skilled enough...
