I ama new owner of a DK Cab and have what might be stupid questions.
Does everytime you jump over a register register for points?(I ask cause there have been times on my play thru that mario would jump over a barrel and i wouldn;t receive any points for doing so.
How does one keep there high score on the gamr? not turing the cab off i know but is there something you could add to the board to keep high score?
 
no when jumping over a barrel it will not always give you points. sometimes the jump is just timed in a way that the board does not know that you jumped over an object therefore it awards no points.

If you want your game to save scores you need to buy a high score save kit. It's a small pcb that adds on to your main DK board set. You can buy one here.

I dont know the story behind it, but I believe DKII was designed by a hobbyist some 10 years ago. Someone with more knowledge will chime in I'm sure. But for an extra $35 I'd say its worth it. I dont have one yet but it's on my wish list. Lots of people with DK machines have these kits and love 'em. Heres a vid showing it in action...

Jr. was the original sequel, and it was acually called Donkey Kong II on the game & watch version, so yeah, its confusing.

 
Theres a trick too getting points from Jumping things and making sure your getting points for them.

If your Jumping something make sure too move the Joystick behind what he is Jumping. This is'nt perfect but it works most of the time. BTW Works really good in DKJR Allso!

Dk II

Be sure to get the dk II kit. I got ita few weeks ago and it is amazing. The new boards are amazing. The look and feel of them is so good you think they are original and they are very hard. It will bring another level of enjoyment to your dk.
