AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I've been trying to practice this god damn game for YEARS and my scores are still complete dogshit(best score is like 68k points). I've played platformers all my life, watched pro highscore playthroughs on youtube, saw king of kong at least twice, even nearly FRAME PERFECT dodged a crazy barrel before its bullshit hit my back toe

WHAT AM I DOING WRONG

You're probably not getting the knowledge right about barrel jumping and escape situations. There are very specific routes you have to take through the barrel boards past about the 3rd go around.

>high score players just farm the first stage for hours
No they do not. There's a time limit on every stage and you only ever get four lives in DK.

It's a very hard game to master, I doubt most people on this board can get to your hi score, OP.
I got picrel in one extremely good streak once but I think I also average in the 60~70k
I remember another anon that got something like 200k or 300k
And to think pro players can get to over a million.

My best is 128.4k on the Switch. I was getting really into it for a while, it's got crazy depth and it's not hard to see how it became an obsession to some people. Theres a ton of skill and concentration needed to put up a decent score.
I think to break your plateau consistently, you need to understand barrel steering, understand the flame spawning on the rivets stage, and understand the spring patterns in the L3+ spring stages. Theres no shame in watching videos on this. Theres just no way youre going to figure out L4 spring patterns on your own.
Great game, I wish there weee more kongers or classic arcade gamers here. I actually like DK Jr better though.
