Yeah, it's probably why I'm in third place instead of 1st place.  I was going more for time than smashes.  My method is easier, but it comes with a price.  After watching Mike Kasper do his thing I realized how much more advantages it is to go for the left key first.  Not because it's quicker, but because it gives you more time for the red snappers to go down the fruit chains to be smashed.

Edit: I'm pie level now.  Yippee!

LEVEL FKING 16.

THIS COMPUTER IS GOING OUT THE WINDOW THE NEXT TIME A GAME ENDS ON L16.

I'm begging you, hands and brain, please, just keep it together for 2 hours. Just two!

Meh, I'll let it go for a few days. Always seems to help...

Level 16 is the level right before level A if I am not mistaken.   I call the empty box levels on this game "The Black Hole".  It's the place where it seems a ton of a gamers men enter, but never come back.

The tear in your signature says it all. So sorry for your loss. Maybe just stop playing that terrible game altogether?...

Oh what the heck, this dire tragedy is good enough for MARP.

Haha.

Whatever, I'll save the kill screen for a big game when I actually leech the hideouts. This run would have been 900K+ if I had.

I think I'll leave DK Jr. there for a while. Close enough...

Yay, I am now free to return to being brutalized by papa Kong!

Hey Mitch, have you given up on Junior?

I actually still like the game (more or less), despite how aggravating it is.

I swear DK Jr and DK share some code about killing you off on the last regular board.  In my one KS game, I thought I was going to killscreen with a spare until 21-4 killed one off.

I don't know if the image makes it clear what happened there, but I attemped the "slide down squeeze-between" those two birds. It's possible to do it of course, but the timing has to be perfect and it was incredibly stupid to attempt it. And as you can see, my timing was WAY off.

All I had to do was wait for those two to go by and THEN push the key up, but the anxiety of the moment got me!

As you know getting the timing going down a vine is unnecessarily difficult due to that ?intentional lag after which you free fall rapidly. 

I'm no expert but I generally save the 1st set of keys for the very end unless I can get it at the very start of the board.  That situation looks avoidable but as you say you got caught up in the moment.

It was extremely avoidable, which is why I deserve to wear the tear in my sig like the Scarlet Letter.
