My Donkey Kong Junior Ambitions

[marky_d]

Here is a good level 3 hideout, but note how I died at the very end of the video. I get stuck on Mario's mechanism.

While in obvious pain from being stuck in the gears, he gets electrocuted. Awesome!

Proof of just how malicious mario really is. So mean to the baby monkey.

It is perhaps my 3rd or 4th attempt at 1.35M. I decided to do it on mame, that way I can just get the WR on mame while pushing up my score. I got 769,600 this evening but at a really good pace. With deaths I was on track for 1.35M. I just got to do it on a good night without headache, and being tired. I only played because I was bored.

Here is the highlight of this attempt. As usual I will post updates to improving my pb at this pace.

As the current MAME record holder I wish you the best.  Been the record holder for 3 years now, and it's probably time for some new blood.  The MAME game definitely needs to be closer to the Arcade record.

Are you not going to try and up your score George?  You must be due some Junior action!

[Donkey Kong Genius]

I will try when I can, George. I am capable of doing it. I have about a month before I start school, and I will be switching gears to transition and ready for it by reading more and stuff like that. But when I can put in an attempt I will. Not sure how many I can put in until I start school, or how much I could do while in school.

Even though I was tired I wanted to play a little Junior before I went to bed. I got to level 10 without dying and just could not play any more. I did want to highlight one blue chain because I was surprised that I survived at all. It may not look like much but when you pull it off in an actual game, it is rewarding.

Got my best score at my new pace. Got to 941,600 aiming for about 1.343M. I was playing closer to 1.314M but I had some points for deaths. 4 very stupid deaths, just need to focus and I can get this new MAME World Record!

[Donkey Kong Genius]

I increases my best at Mame WR pace. Not by much. Really dumb deaths. I am trying too hard. I think if I just relax and do well, I should be able to just bust through this 900k block and be done with this. Got to 959,200 this evening.

[Donkey Kong Genius]

Another 900k game aimed at about 1.35M. I was tired but played any ways. Messed up 4 times on just basic stuff.

[marky_d]

Did I see that correctly yesterday where you had a 183k start, followed by a 74k level? That's big.

[Donkey Kong Genius]

Indeed! I just played the way I normally do and by the end of level 5 or so I had close to 20k over where I wanted to be. Unfortunately, I lost all those points and then gained them back. It was a strange game.

Here is the highlight for my best after 5 levels. I don't want to talk about level 6.

New best after 3 levels: 115,200

I got lots of points from bird smashes but some of the other boards were not played as well as they could. I am happy with some of these mini challenge bests.

I am a little behind in sharing some good Junior footage. Today I wanted to post four new youtube videos.

1) My new MAME World Record for Donkey Kong Junior
2) Two 5 apple smashes on the jungle board
3) Showing that a 1600 bonus is possible on the hideout - just for fun.
4) My highest arcade score so far

MAME Donkey Kong Junior World Record Corey Chambers 1,323,200
Donkey Kong Junior: 5 Apple Smash on Jungle Board
Donkey Kong Junior: Hideout 1600 Bonus Possible
Donkey Kong Junior Arcade - 1,306,300 (My Highest Arcade Score)

Wow, and you died on level E 2,  you probably could have had 1.35 million if you finished.  That would have been a huge huge score!
