Donkey Kong 64 Bonus Games High Scores Guide By Jon Barber (Ngamer64) E-mail Mr1166@hotmail.com Web Page The Official JB Page - http://www.geocities.com/cyber1166 As I looked at all the DK64 Walkthroughs and FAQs posted at GameFAQs.com, I was shocked and appaled to see that there were no guides to help you to get farther, get high scores, and show how to "play for fun" in the 4 great Bonus Games: Enguarde Arena, Jetpac, DK Arcade, and Rambi Arena. I intend to fix that. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I. Enguarde Arena My score: 420 First some basic info about this bonus game, which is my favorite, by the way. There are 10 stars in the pool. 6 of them are below water, they each give you 5 points when you go through them. There are also 4 stars above the water, and they give you 20 points each time you go through them. There is also a Lap Bonus which will give you 50 points as soon as you complete your first full lap. There are basically 2 different kinds of laps you can finish, a Full Lap and a Small Lap. Now, imagine that you are looking down at Enguarde's Pool from high above it. It is in a rectangle shape, with a larger width than the heigh. Now, off the left of the pool is the highly concentrated section, where you will find 3 out of the 4 stars that are above water level. I will call this area the starting section. On the other side of the pool, the right side To go the fastest, you must master how to move Enguarde. You have to stay as close to the top of the water as you can, and when you jump out of the water, stay as low as you possibly can while still hitting the bottom of the star. There are different strategies for how to hit the A button. Some people like to hit it every few seconds, while others like to hold down the A button the entire time. Personally, I like to tap the button the whole time. Each of these makes you go the same speed, as far as I can tell. Experiment and decide which one you like the best. When you start the game, you must first let the entire cut scene play, so that you float to the top of the water. After this, make a 90 degree turn to your left, and head for the starting section that will be right ahead of you. If you do it right, you'll go through the 5-ring right in front of you, and then through the 20-ring right behind it. Keep on going, and you'll go 5, 20, 5, and then 20 again. You have to keep doing this until you get very fast at it, because if you get out to a bad start, you're in a lot of trouble. If you get good at it, you can easily tie my time at this point 75 points :50 seconds remaining After this, continue going forward, hit the very top of the next star, then jump as low as possible and try to angle yourself toward the right as you hit the 20-point star. (This is the hardest star to master.) Come back down and hit the next 5-star to finish the lap and collect your 50 point Lap Bonus. 160 points (1 full lap) :42 Once you collect this lap bonus
