Phil Tudose crushes the Donkey Kong Jr. World Record! 1,478,000!
xelnia:
If you've been paying attention to the DKJR submissions the past week, you won't be surprised to learn that the great Phil Tudose has taken the #1 spot in Donkey Kong Jr. with an absolutely massive score of 1,478,000! He beat the MAME WR on July 23rd with a 1,398,400 effort. That was quickly followed up with three 1.4M scores that were just shy of Mark Kiehl's arcade and overall record: the legendary 1,412,200 set on May 23, 2013...the first Jr. game to pass 1.4M and a 63,200 improvement on the record. Today, instead of just undershooting the 1.412M, Phil rocketed past by 65,800.
Although the game was played on The Island, it was replayed later in the day on the DKF Twitch channel:

Some scores are great, but this one is legendary. In my opinion, Phil has cemented himself as the greatest DK platformer player of all time. Congratulations, sir. Can't wait to see what's next.

Big congratulations. Phil must be stoked. I mean, his goal was 1.44 to 1.46 million. So this is better than even what Phil was gunning for. Getting two 20k jungle stages is otherworldly. Averaging almost 10k on the chains is epic. Getting 90k on your men great. Having everything click at once is the stuff of legend. I think this might be the highest score of the decade, it's so good.
Barra:
Absolutely incredible score, cobba!
This game was absolutely flawless. Execution was spot on, barely any missed points throughout the whole run. Really amazing stuff.
There's only one strat he hasn't implemented yet and thats the delayed 1st apple on the jungle screen. It's a little more luck based but I predict another 50k can be added to this score using that. Death points can't get too much higher and neither can the start so realistically I think we're looking at low-mid 1.5m as the max possible score right now.
There is very little skill & strategy based meat left on the bone. The tudose trip (TM) on the springboard basically maxes out that screen and you're mainly at the mercy of randomness on the hideout/chains. Riley's jackpot method on the jungle is quite interesting and may be worth looking into a bit deeper.
Hope you keep pushing this one up mate. I know you've got some left in the tank!

I don't think a 20k average is out of the question with delayed 1st apple strat

From my short experience with it, it's more a break glass in case of emergency move. Unfortunately on average it seems to actually give you a lower score. I could be wrong though. But on the last level, and you have nothing left to lose, and you are desperate, yeah it's definitely something to go for.
