Title: The Donkey Kong Junior Jackpot method
Post by: homerwannabee on September 01, 2018, 12:45:50 pm
OK, I decided to make another video because it's easier to show than to tell, but I'll attempt to tell it as well.  The jackpot method is so named because you have a potential to have a huge score on the board, but on average you'll score lower.  So like a Casino jackpot where you can win big, on average you are going to lose more money than you win.

So basically the trick is to skip the very first two fruits in the game.  The bananas, and apple.  You then take out the red snappers on the right side.  What this does is create three red snappers free on the left side.  So you can go back and hopefully get a three or four combo on the bananas and then a four or even five combo on the apple.   Still I have noticed that you can lose a lot as well as win a lot, and on average, it just doesn't make sense.  Still if you have two levels to go, and you really really need points the Jackpot Method is definitely the way to go.

Given the timer is so slow it might be worth it. Maybe this is Marky_d's secret strat?  <popcorn>  <stirpot>

Secret strats don’t exist here remember? Always safe to assume 100% of everything has been discovered and shared here Kappa

There is one thing I might have overlooked.  You can also point press while waiting for the apple if you get the snapjaw on the Island.  Still I think it's not enough.
