...you don't have to say sorry be77amy. I like this competition we're having. I hope others will join us :)

Seeing as how this games gone a bit quiet and I like the competition on it I thought I'd post a few gameplay tips that might help some people:

Level 1: head straight up the middle all guns blazing and try and get the can to drop before heading back down. grab the can and go straight back up the middle shooting. ~12k points

Level 2: if you did the first level correctly you should have enough super spray left to shoot kong to the top before he gets chance to do anything. ~20k

Level 3: straight up the middle again until the bees come out then back down and survive. shoot the caterpillars on the way down to stop them infesting the platforms. ~35k

Level 4: I usually lose a life on this level but try and survive as long as possible. On the fresh life rush for the can which should get you through 2 more levels! ~60k

get more points by shooting the exploding bees with normal ones around them before you shoot the orbitting bees. dont let the caterpillars land. And above everything else dont lose your plants. the hit to your bonuses is shocking!

Thank you for sharing your gameplay strategy :) These are really good tips ! I actually used the same strategy with my 100K + score.

This should really help a lot of us improving our scores. Please join us and start spraying yourself to the top ;)

Thanks be77amy !

Having grown up playing Donkey Kong & Donkey Kong Jr., I never played this one... Seems very different than the others. I might come back to try and improve my score...

Donkey Kong Jr. will probably be added to our competition as of October 1st (see poll).

Be77amy shared his gameplay strategy for Donkey Kong 3. It might help you out improving your best score. Thank your for submission :)

The strategy does help! But how do you get the big sprayer to show up on each level??? Sometimes when I transition to the next level, it doesn't 'spawn', so I'm stuck with the little gun... But I still improved...

@ ehuonder > nice improvement !!

The big sprayer will only show up when you lose a life. When I lose a life I usually pick up the big sprayer at the very end of the level when Donkey Kong is near the top of the ceiling. This way you can spray Donkey Kong quickly to the top and still have some left at the beginning of the next level. This really works for me :)

Good luck improving your score ;)

DK 3 -- I can play this rather endlessly on the NES, but that's about it.

Here's the best of what I got after a few plays.

OK, EXEDEXES 85,900!
