Hey all you Donkey Kong players out there, what are your strategies in regards to the bottom hammer on the barrel level?
I'm still in the early levels, so I figure strategy might change while the game progresses.
Do you all bother with the first hammer at all?
Do you wait for extra barrels to appear on screen before grabbing the hammer?
Do you go up a bit then backtrack down to the lower hammer once some barrels have appeared?
I've found that on level one, it doesn't gain me much by grabbing the hammer right away, as there aren't enough barrels present on screen to smash. I have had some luck with traveling a few ladders up, then back tracking back down to the lower hammer once the first blue barrel appears. I've achieved a decent 7,500 points this way.
Anyhow, just interested how some of you do it.
