Perfect Game
« on: November 09, 2014, 07:37:41 pm »
If a perfect game in Pacman is all possible points without loss of a man (except kill screen), what is the perfect game of DK?

Is it:
1: a KS without loss of life.
2: a KS without loss of life and ALL bonus points collected.
3: a KS without loss of life, use of ALL hammers and ALL bonus points collected. (obvious difficulty here is pie factory hammer).
4: something completely different.

Donkey Kong (MAME Points) - 1026800 (Kill Screen)
Donkey Kong (MAME No Hammer) - 282700
Donkey Kong (MAME Lvl 1-1) - 11000
Far Cry 2 is the best game

#3 plus all 800s for every blue barrel and firefox smash, and the maximum number of grouped barrel jumps on every barrel board.  Also, smash every firefox with both hammers on every rivet board and pie factory board.  Also need max number of pie smashes (with all 800s) on every pie factory board.  Once you've done all of that, make sure you jump a spring on every elevator board to net the extra 100 points on your way up the ladder.

Even then, it wouldn't be a perfect game.  You would need non-random, patterned movement of fireballs, firefoxes, and barrels on every board in such a way as to maximize the number of grouped jumps and hammer smashes you could accomplish in the least amount of time so that you can net the most bonus points possible when finishing each board.

In other words, there is no such thing as a perfect game on Donkey Kong.

Any game of DK.

One million is the perfect game on Donkey Kong. Anything past that is beyond perfect.

I'm not sure there's such a thing as a perfect game. Pac-Man is based primarily on non-random elements, whereas Donkey Kong is based mostly on randomness. When things are very indeterminant it's very difficult to have a quantifiable measure of perfection. The upper bounds of any game are based on what that game gives you, and this changes credit by credit.

Since it's full of randomness and there is no equivalent to a perfect Pac, and since all other criteria are lacking to one degree or another, I would have to define a perfect DK simply as any kill screen game where the final score is over 1,200,000.

If you wanted to get really strict, 1.2 where all but the KS death are cash-ins on 21-5.

In all seriousness, there is a theoretically possible way to get infinite points on 1-1.
