This is Donkey Kong on Atari 2600, before Nintendo got into NESes, Wii Us and AngryJoes. Conparing it to any other version, it only has 2 levels, and then it loops. A bunch of the strats used on the NES, Arcade or SNES ports don't work here, so I'm left with not much.
This port is recognized very well for it's sound effects, that are used in a bunch and bunch of cartoons since the old days and sometimes still used up to this day.
Also, the levels have a few changes in it's layout and enemy placement. And also DK looks like a gingerbread man.
This is my first time using BizHawk's TAS Studio, so this game was like a practice of that until I got around it and made a proper TAS.
Stage by stage comments
25m
I had to wait for the barrels to move so I could advance and not die, unlike other ports, this stage is smaller, and thus skipping them is not possible as far my knowledge goes.
100m..?
Yep, from 25m to 100m in a breeze. Unlike the other ports, the flame guys spawn instantly when the stage starts, meaning the route changes significantly and avoiding them is a must.
More DONG

ars4326: Hello again, dekutony and Weegeechan. Good job on you guys collaborating together and getting the time down further! The added x-pos/RNG manipulations really made a difference in shaving that extra second off. Good nostalgia, all in all!
