I played Guitar Hero earlier this week and now have the immense urge to play this game. God I forgot how much I missed it, I'll probably play it later today.

Though yet again my scores won't even compare

Oh man, it was about a year ago right now when I was coming off my two month long RE4/Minish Cap high and this friggin game was what I sobered up with. And then I got high on this game. And I think some cocaine was involved somewhere along the way... Early 2005 RULED.

Anyways, I love this game. It's one of those games where I could play all of the levels dozens of times and still want more (much like my coke), a sensation I haven't felt since the first four Mario games (or my last injection). Too bad reviewers didn't really like the game and no one bought it. I thought it was pure genius. Let's hope the Revolution gives us more of this type of gaming.

Hell yeah, i'm FROTHING at the mouth to see what Tokyo EADs next project is, and reviewers don't know how to have fun anymore, some called it "too easy" LOL.

I am getting pretty close to your peach kingdom score. I just need to get my rhythm back...

Mario · « **Reply #129 on:** March 03, 2006, 04:14:51 PM »

Whoops I forgot to edit in my Peach score to that list, is it the 2883 score that you're close to?

Dasmos · « **Reply #130 on:** March 03, 2006, 04:45:41 PM »

Arg, no. It was the old one, but now I have to beat it!

You can be a huge DKJB fan but suck at it too right ;____;

I was looking at some old screenshots

What's with the combo meter at the top? I'm guessing it just filled up as you kept getting higher in a combo, what would have happened if it reached the peak? DK gets some uber attack or agility move to get even MORE combo? I don't remember those places in any levels either, I wish I could somehow play the E3 demo.

Dasmos · « **Reply #134 on:** March 12, 2006, 05:32:08 PM »

I beat my Pear Kingdom score, with a 1904. Also my total beat count is at 406,871. It should be much higher seeing the amount of times I have restarted the level after screwing up at some point.

Sorry for bumping this thread but I need help.

I'm trying to get gold on every sinlge kingdom, I could go for platinum on some stages even but gold is more than enough.

However I am having the most dificult time to reach gold on the first kingdom (Banana), I always only get between 700 and 750 bananas.

Am I missing some secret area where there are more bananas to collect or something, I'm good on combos but on this level I just can't seem to.

I have all kingdoms unlocked but the last one that requires 51 medals, that's why I'm only going for the gold when I know it is enough to unlock that 51-medals-kingdom.

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #136 on:** October 21, 2006, 05:21:01 PM »

Yeah, I'm still trying to figure out how the hell 2000+ beats is possible on Banana Kingdom. I played DKJB the other day just for kicks and rediscovered how much I suck.

2000 BEATS WTF. You need to videotape yourself doing that just so I can sleep at night =(

I recommend asking Mario considering he's the resident Jungle Beat champ...But if I'm recalling this right, there IS a "secret" area that has a bunch more bananas...You also gotta try and stay in the air as long as possible to build up that combo...

vudu · « **Reply #138 on:** October 21, 2006, 07:56:22 PM »

I don't think I'm playing this game right. I can manage to get 1000+ beats on every kingdom on a regular basis, but I certainly can't get any where near any of the high scores. I think the problem lies in keeping my combo meter for extra long lengths of the levels. They tend to die when theh should rather than when I want them to.

This should help.

I have actually been playing this still and beaten a few scores up there, maybe i'll update it later.

I lent this to my friend about a month or so ago, I should really get it back and play it some more.

Mario · « **Reply #141 on:** October 22, 2006, 03:50:04 AM »

You only have to look at the scores to know that Dasmos is the real champion *bows*

... for now.

Thanks, but I've actually seen that before. Unfortunately, that just doesn't seem like a fun way to play the game. I need to strike a balance between being awesome and not sucking the fun out of the game by trying to get my combo meter up to four for every loan banana I find.

IceCold · « **Reply #143 on:** October 22, 2006, 01:16:28 PM »

I actually just started playing this again.. Vudu, I'm in the same boat - I only do the backflip ground pound when it's warranted; it just kills the flow of the game. And if one thing shines for Jungle Beat, it's the flow of the game..

KnowsNothing · « **Reply #144 on:** October 22, 2006, 02:12:28 PM »

Yeah, I was hoping for high scores being at least a little bit smooth and happy. It's much more fun doing speed runs because then you can really get into a rhythm.

Danke schon. Hopefully it will help me in some way.

Mario · « **Reply #146 on:** October 22, 2006, 07:23:08 PM »

There are plenty of smooth levels, try Watermelon Kingdom, Grape Kingdom or Chili Pepper kingdom. For me though getting the highest score is sort of about strategy and learning everything about the level.
