The Donkey Kong Jr. How High Can You Try first screen challenge!

So just for fun I wanted to see what's the highest achievable score on the first screen of DKJr.
Playing as if you were going for your best game ( no dying in the first screen )
Share your pictures or methods and strategies and let's see how high you can get. My third try I rushed through getting snap jaws with every piece of fruit and got 6200 with a 3500 bonus for a total of 9700. That's the highest I ever got.

This is a great idea!
Shameless plug...I do this with the level select on my dkjr kit with level select...except I use level 9 start point...more snappers on the screen then level 1...

This strategy completely changed the game for me. No more just trying to get to the top...point pressing on dkjr....totally different game!

Btw great score of 11k+!!
 
I love the idea and want to try it too. Don't shame me for only having dkjr on 60in1!

There should be a lot of fun first screen challenge games out there, like Mr. Do! comes to mind. But maybe that's a better 10 screen average challenge. (I had 15,600 average yesterday, which is a lot for me.) But so many games don't work for this kinda thing.
Bomb Jack?
Rampage?
Frenzy?

Or maybe the first Sinistar challenge (score after killing the first one).

anyway, smart move on dusting off your old thread and I'll post when I have a score :)
 
on a side note, damn

I've never quite gotten over the hump on DK Jr. I just haven't put the time in. Not sure I've even broken 100,000. I do point press on the early boards though. It's all about waiting for those red snapjaws to double up and then wait for a blue one to hit the vine so you can get all three with one fruit. My problem is I get bored waiting.
