Help in that Arcade game in Donkey Kong 64.

Fishmael · 12-21-2002, 01:05 PM

I just can't seem to pass that classic Donkey Kong game. You find it in Frantic Factory, it is a arcade game which Mario has to rescue the girl. I'm asking, how do you gain a life there? I know there is some way to gain a 1-up. Any other tips would be great too. Thanks.

Just keep trying, it's one the frustrating part of DK64. In the older ones you gain a 1 up by finishing it once. Here however you just die and start all over from scratch, so it will take some time. It might help to memorize the spring's movement pattern in level 3. Near the end it's hard unless you know when the spring is going to hop over you and when it's not.

Just beat it. I guess it was easier than I acted.~_~ Thanks anyways though!

Glad to here that, it took a while for me to beat it, and I thought it would be easy since I easily finished the NES version multiple times before playing DK64.

Did anybody else find DK64's Donkey Kong harder than the older ones?

Fishmael · 12-25-2002, 05:06 PM

I sure did. Maybe because this one is harder to obtain lives in.

Just to note, it takes about 10,000 points to obtain a life.

So you can obtain lives in DK64's DK...

No more attempting to smash the arcade.

Though I seriously think Rare should have including an arcade tossing feature for those ticked off at the machine. They did a arcade tossing with KI2.

They should have provided stress balls if you ask me.

I can see the commercial now...

It's so stressful that we included a stress ball along with the expansion pak!
