![]() Jason reached the 15-minute mark, or rather 15:20, after completing stage (7-2) with a score of 315,000 points even. From this point on I will just indicate the score at the end of the level and any other important info. I think it's only fair to say that with the exception of fewer stages than you can count on one hand, Jason earned a "perfect" on almost all 132 stages completed !! Jason gets a "perfect" bonus on both stages. Level 1 - 23,800 points (score at the end of stages "1-1" and "1-2"). As per my discussion with Shawn, certain aspects of his game play will be kept "secret" so as not to reveal any hard earned tactics that he might have discovered through perhaps weeks and months of determined and diligent practice. Here, below, is a recap of Shawn's performance. And from watching the game for verification purposes, let me confirm that it does "roll over" at a million points !! He confirmed that like a few arcade classics such as "Galaga" and "Commando", "DK3" stops awarding extra men after a million points. I spoke to Shawn in person regarding his performance. According to Twin Galaxies history, the "Zookeeper" world record was the first time ever that a gamer from the state of Maine was the world champion of an arcade title, and I strongly suspect that we have only seen the barest hint of the awesome game play performances yet to come from this duo of master class gamers. Shawn, and his equally talented brother Jason, have been hammering away at classic arcade titles, as of late, setting impressive new world records on titles such as "Zookeeper", "Congo Bongo" and now "Donkey Kong 3", and already have their sights set on new titles to conquer and add to their growing resume of world records on classic arcade titles. Incredible !! In setting this new world record, this the longest one of the three "Donkey Kong" series titles has been played in terms of the number of stages cleared, "Donkey Kong" being the second most with 117 stages by the "kill screen". In his performance lasting 1 hour and 55 minutes and 52 seconds (1:55:52), Shawn reached level (43-2), meaning he completed 132 stages of game play (level 1 contains two screens while all thereafter contain 3 each) and died in stage 133. If a "kill screen" exists, it is further into the game than anyone, Shawn inclusive, has reached to date. However "DK3" does not have a known "kill screen", meaning a stage where the game comes to a finite conclusion due to the programming. Like "Donkey Kong" and "Donkey Kong Junior", "DK3" features several different stages, each requiring a slightly different strategy. Meanwhile, Stanley valiantly tries to send "Donkey Kong" higher and higher up the screen via the vines he is clinging to, sometimes knocking down a powerful bug spray repellant that can make quick work of "Donkey Kong" and bring the wave to a satisfying end. "Donkey Kong 3" ("aka "DK3" for short) was the follow-up to "Donkey Kong Junior", and follows the exploits of Stanley and his can of bug spray as he does battle with the inimitable "Donkey Kong" who sends down his hoards of insect minions to confound Stanley below. Twin Galaxies is proud to announce that Shawn Cram, who hails from Maine in the USA, has set a new world record on the arcade title "Donkey Kong 3" while playing "marathons mode" with a final score of 2,544,400 points !!

The arcade cabinet had that classic Nintendo style. ![]() Donkey Kong 3 had great sound effects and music. It actually borrowed some of its gameplay mechanics from another Nintendo arcade game, Space Firebird. Players had to save Stanley's plants by spraying bug spray at Donkey Kong to push him through the ceiling. This was a step away from our favorite plumber Mario, but the game was still super fun. The game introduced a new protagonist named Stanley, a greenhouse owner. The arcade cabinet was developed and published by Nintendo in 1983. This week on Shack's Arcade Corner, we take a look at Donkey Kong 3. ![]()
