Yeah! I could add that category. There wouldn't be much for rules I would think, lol. Play mini-game. Get to level 8 the fastest?

Ooops, thanks for the correction 😅 It's definitely not a mini game that I played all too often, even when I was little, lol

I've only been able to reach that score once (as seen at the end screen with a score of 30,786,650) in which I purposely lost after about an hour of playing... If I can confirm this theory, I think that metric would be more fitting than the current Level 8 metric.

Anyways, probably information overload for a silly mini-game from 20 years ago but there you go. Thanks again for adding!

======================================================================================= Yo! Congratulations on your achievement! What score is level 8 triggered at? Would that be the 20,000,000 score in your reply?

I could have two different categories for the mini-game as well. One in which the player reaches the score that triggers level 8, and the other that has the player reaching the 20,000,000 score (in which the difficulty stops).

Question: What about the GBA version of the minigame? I've made a run with that version that I would like to submit - but the quality is not the best. I once made it to level 30 (see here: https://www.reddit.com/r/donkeykong/comments/nc916q/has_anyone_ever_made_it_past_level_30_in_funky/).

@jacksreality Congrats on your run! DKC on the GBA and GBC are separate games, you will have to go to the DKC GBA board and ask the moderators there about adding a category for it, https://www.speedrun.com/dkc1gba.
