Welcome to the Official DKF Level 1-1 High Score List, peer-reviewed by the DK Community!
In order to submit a score for the Level 1-1 High Score List, please read and follow the
List Submission Rules, as well as any
Special Rules below. Once you have achieved a score that meets the criteria, please submit your score in the
Score Submissions thread, including your name, the date the score was achieved, and all relevant evidence. You can view the explanation of Platforms and Sources at the bottom of the list.
Special Rules-A minimum score of 9,000 points is required and must be achieved on the first barrel board of the game.
-The score may be achieved using any of the player's available lives, but the stage must be successfully completed (e.g., if you survive the board on your 3rd life, only the points scored on your 3rd life are eligible for submission).
-The player may choose to finish the game and submit to any other applicable HSL variations.
List Notes-Click on the player's name to visit their stream page (if available).
