twinxen's road to the kill screen

[twinxen]

A couple of days ago I got a random Crazy Kong killscreen. I just wanted a break from DK and played the game a little, I think the killscreen was within my first ten quarters, possibly five.

I also learned the game as I played it, my first death in the KS run was on the level 3 pies, but later on I realised that if you wait long enough - no more pies will spawn, making the levels trivial to complete. The spring boards also seemed to miss every third spring, making these boards trivial as well. The rivets seemed to play the same as DK though.

Once I got to level 10 or so with only one death, I decided to just go for the KS - and the run can be found here https://donkeykongforum.net/index.php?topic=662.msg35765;topicseen#msg35765.

I doubt I will touch this game again.

This is good intel. Thanks for sharing.

Once I believe its three pies get "stuck" in the oil can/fire in the middle no more pies will spawn unless you go down to the bottom conveyor. You can also go immediately up the opposite ladder as well when a pie spawns on say the left side if you immediately run up the right ladder you will make it every time but you need to be quick.
