How to do backwards jump and mistake on level three

Hi, I just started running Donkey Kong Jr and I noticed in the leaders there's a trick that happens on the third stage that requires clipping through a wall and a backwards jump. I run off an original NES, could someone please explain how that is done?

Thanks.

First of all, this trick works only on PRG0 version of the game and japanese one. On patched version (PRG1), it's not possible to execute it. In your case, Donkey Kong Classic. version was used, I'm not sure , which version of DK Jr is implemented there, since there are some slight graphical difference between them and I cannot recoginze it, due to video quality.

Anyway, as for the trick itself, you need to be standing on the edge of platform, then hold down and press jump to do the backward jump and clip inside platform. You need to keep holding down until you clip inside, if you release down too early, softlock will occur. It will happen as well, when you will be too far from the edge of the platform (too far to the left)
