This decision probably added 20 seconds at the most.Ĥ. I decided to get as many bear coins in the stages as I could so you wouldn't have to watch 20 minutes of me beating Cranky down in Swanky's game (which does not take time off the game clock, mind you). I knew I had to get 55 bear coins by the time I finished the Lost World. I thought about this before doing the run. Not collecting bear coins that are out of the way in the stages. Sliding down slippery slopes, especially on the waterfall and jungle stages.ģ. Curse the double use of Y (run and pick up)!Ģ. Picking up barrels when I don't need them. If anyone were to be crazy and bored enough to beat my time they would have to correct these mistakes (plus not make others).ġ. The record at Twin Galaxies is around 2:27 for 105% and when I realized my time was going to blow that out of the water I started to be more serious. When I first began recording it was only for a friend, I didn't actually think I would get a good time. This is useful for me because my strat involves sacrificing a Kong to beat Kaos faster.ĭue to the difficulty of a 105% run I decided to go with multiple segments, saving after the completion of each world. Kastle Kaos: After Kaos is defeated you receive a barrel.

Except this time it is useful because this level is tough.Ĥ. In Swoopy Salvo: The last bonus - see number 1. Pot-hole Panic: Without leaving the bonus with Ellie or having both Kongs it would be impossible to get to the automatic barrel before Squitter.ģ. However, it would take effort to lose a character because the bonus is right at the start of the level and there is only a single, stationary buzz.Ģ. Tearaway Tobbagon: the first bonus has a DK barrel because without a partner it is not possible to get all the stars. There are only 4 DK barrels in the entire game that will benefit the player (the others are in boss levels but disappear because you have 2 characters anyway!):ġ. If you lose a partner and begin a new stage you will automatically get that character back. A new, snazzy ending status screen and 105% will be you reward for getting everything. Now you can enter your name as usual and begin the game. The game becomes much more difficult! To perform this, select a new file and press LRRLRRLRLR. However, there is an 'expert code' that takes away all DK barrels and save/midway/continue barrels - whatever you want to call them. Normally the maximum percentage available in DKC3 is 103%. Good enough, but not lucky enough.Speed run using the 105% code, which makes the game harder by removing all continue barrels and nearly all DK barrels, completed on June 8 2004. “I don’t believe I can put up a game any higher than this.” His rival Lakeman replied, “I’m not lucky enough. “This will be my last record score,” Copeland wrote on Facebook. He also topped Dean Saglio’s 2013 emulation record by 11,200, giving him top honors regardless of set up. Copeland creamed Lakeman’s last score, also on an arcade cabinet, by 28,200. He played on arcade cabinet, beginning to end, without dying once.Ĭhien’s once-world-record score is only 1,061,700. He took the number one spot in January, had lost it to Lakeman by April, but just turned in a score of 1,218,000 on May 5 that could prove insurmountable. Since then, however, a new rivalry has led to the top spot trading hands between Wes Copeland and Robbie Lakeman.Ĭopeland is the man of the hour. Chien actually took the all-time high score in 2010 and then again in 2011. Wiebe and Mitchell are now 18th and 19th on the all-time list, respectively. It’s like being in awe of Dennis Scott hitting 267 three-pointers in a season two decades ago when Steph Curry just finished the year with 402. If you’re far removed from the high-score chasing of the King of Kong documentary era, when Billy Mitchell, Steve Wiebe, and Hank Chien were jockeying for supremacy, note that their once-record scores now pale in comparison. The world of competitive Donkey Kong is still lit. All hail the new, possibly last King of Kong
