DONKEY KONG (arcade)

Taunt	On the rivet levels (where you make Donkey Kong fall), position yourself very close to DK. Each time you jump in the air you'll get 100 points. This is sort of pointless (no pun intended) because as you're taunting DK, the bonus time counter keeps on dropping.
Fake-out fireballs	On the rivet levels, if you find yourself trapped in by fireballs at the edge of the screen, jump off the edge of the level. Mario will "bounce back" after a short delay, during which the fireball may have moved elsewhere.
Stupid barrels (Japanese version only)	In the barrel levels, barrels will never roll down the ladder you're climbing on as long as Mario's hand is touching a red girder. However, the barrels that DK throws straight down can still hit you.

Jump over it and land on him. Run across the platform. Jump over him as he runs at you. Jump over the crown again and land on him. Do this a total of six times. Then, when you run acros the screen, DO NOT JUMP!! Run under him. Do this six times, then repeat the first process until he dies. (The first process is jumping over his crown and landing on him.) Notice that he, like the rest of the bosses, speeds up every time you hit him.
