I own D2K. I have been playing it non stop for about a month. Trying like hell to get 35k, I'm stuck at 27-28k. I having a hard time at the first Mixer level (I think that's what its called).. Cant get passed the pie maker thingy :(

1. Run up to where the piemaker drops the pies. It will stop so you can position jumpman right in front of it.
2. As soon as it starts moving again jump left over the pie (you can't jump too early or you'll hit your head on the maker but jump as soon as you possibly can).
3. Have the joystick going left so that when you land you hit the ground running left.
4. Then you have to make a running jump over the next pie before the maker comes down again. The trick here is to jump a little early, if you do it right you'll barely clear the pie. Jumping early prevents the maker from coming down on your head.

The timing on this is very precise and you just need to practice until you get it.

When you get on top you have to make another jump over the top of the piemaker. You have to jump as soon as it starts going down or you'll die.

That part is a little like the 3rd elevator board. It's hard but once you get it down you should be able to deal with it pretty easy.
 
I can't beat the 1st screen on level 2. Jumping fireballs??? Wtf.

I do best on that one if I only move forward when it's safe. The trick it learning how to stall. You can effectively stall by jumping strait up when the platforms cross, riding the top platform back a little and then walking back down to the lower platform, and repeating as necessary. I still struggle with that level. The difficulty level goes way up on level 2. The 2nd mixer level usually ends my game. Timing the double falling pies with the fireball at the top right. Sheesh.
 
Some of the boards, the fireballs won't switch directions (unless they hit a dead end or go up/down a ladder) so don't be afraid to jump over them. This would be on the barrel, incinerator, mixer and refinery boards.
 
I'm confused... Are they the same game? Or, is d2k different from dk2?

This is what I have been led to believe...

So Nintendo never put out a "Donkey Kong 2"
It was
Donkey Kong (lt Blue cabinet)
Donkey Kong Jr. (Orange cabinet)
Donkey Kong 3 (Red cabinet)

A D2K is kind of like a prequel.
Jeff K did a rom hack that added a bunch of new levels in the Original Donkey Kong
He named or reffered to it as D2K since it was developed around Y2K

Yes The D2k and Donkey Kong 2 is the same game :)
