I’ve wanted to start running this category, but I can’t find any tutorials or guides. Do you guys have any pointers?

Hello there JAje Nice to see you interested in speedrunning Donkey Kong Jr. Some tips I would have is get really good at mashing left and right to move on vines, also practice and analyze how many times you need to push left or right while climbing. You basically always want to climb up while having both of DK Jr's hands on ropes/vines, and want to always descend with DK Jr on one vine. The top runners use a the PRG0 version of this game because it allows them to do a trick in the third level that skips a portion of the level, you cannot do that trick in any other version but the PRG0 version I believe. Anymore questions? I'd be happy to help!

Thank you so much for everything, I will start practising as soon as I can!
