All the cheats from <I>Daytona USA 2: Battle On The Edge</I> will work in this game.

Tips:<UL><LI>Avoid using hyperspace unless you are about to die. Fighting off attacks, regardless of the number of enemies will make you a better <I>Defender</I> player.<LI>Baiters can usually be overcome by hitting the reverse button twice quickly. They will fly past you and be in range for your fire power. Do <EM>not</EM> try to outrun them as Baiters are faster than your ship.<LI>Swarmers are easy to defeat. You can hit reverse as soon as they fly past you and fly behind them. They can't shoot backwards so you can blast away at will.<LI>At higher levels you will need to play God and even sacrifice some humanoids (by killing them yourself) to preserve the rest of the planet's population. The planet is too large for you protect and you are sparing the humanoids from a fate worst than death (mutation). Don't worry, these humanoids reproduce quickly and overpopulation has always been a constant problem. The planet will be fully populated at the start of every fifth attack wave (configurable).</UL>

HINT: Collect the screwdrivers at all costs. They seriously extend your lifespan.<P>HINT: At the start of each round, all the cars begin with their trunks facing each other. When the cars begin moving, all the vehicles ram each other at top speed. You need to wait half a second and steer a little to the right before backing up full throttle. This will send you into the radiator of the car to your right for a big score and it will likely become a candidate for the first loser of the round.<P>As you progress through the game, the "garage girl" (who appears between each level) shows a little bit more of her entire body.

Get either a Pooka or Fygar right on your tail, then pump him up but not so much that he explodes. Do this right near a rock but be warned that this is rather tricky. The idea is to loosen the rock when the enemy is almost fully inflated, get out of the way, then do a quick reverse and finish off the enemy at exactly the same time as he is crushed by the rock avoiding the rock yourself, of course. This will confuse the game and all enemies on the current level will disappear leaving you to aimlessly dig tunnels through the dirt. You will not progress to the next level until you drop another rock. If you scoop away ALL the dirt on screen while keeping one Pooka alive, and afterwards blow up the remaining enemy, the game freezes up and leaves you forever stranded on a black screen. Amusingly, you cannot die or progress anywhere, so the machine has to be turned off.

By digging a small hole in the door before the monsters come out you can lock them in indefinitely, then fill the maze with holes, allowing you to play almost indefinitely.

This will be rather difficult with SoloBang, Karte, Gain, Chitta, or Birthday.ULBCapcom ItemsBULLIPinwheel Charge shot the Goblins which appear at the start point of the first stage with an empty bomb meter i.e. the gauge right below your charge shot meter.LIMobichan Destroy the side drill which shoots a fan of bullets by charge shot in the third stage with an empty bomb meter.LIHolstein Beat the Ice Serpent by charge shot in the fourth stage with an empty bomb meter.LITakenoko Destroy the drill of the Excavator Tank in the fourth stage with an empty bomb meter.LIDragonfly Destroy the first part of the recessed tank deck in the third stage by bomb.

Four bombs at least, level1 charge shot, destroy both sideheads of Infernon or, at least, the sections the heads WERE attached to with that chargeshot active.UL

Special moves are executed by moving the joystick in a certain direction and hitting both buttons. The special moves meter is located at the top of the screen and it allows a maximum of three moves.

There is a timereleased track and vehicle. Unfortunately your vehicle slows down a bit when you are in first position, but speeds up when you are among the last.

Here are a few hints for getting a higher score:<UL><LI>Throw your powerball in a narrow space so it will bounce more. The more bounces it completes before hitting a monster, the greater the bonus. Continue to encircle the fruit to keep increasing its point value.<LI>It takes less cherries that dots to get a new powerball, less apples than cherries, etc.</UL>

Ways to increase your score:<UL><LI>Remove and replace the same few dominoes over and over again for as long as time, the people, bugs, etc., will allow.<LI>Complete as many screens as possible <EM>before</EM> purposely tipping over the dominoes and your score will increase exponentially!</UL>

The first version of <I>Donkey Kong</I> that was released in America red cabinet version had a trick that could be done on the barrell board. Move Mario up a ladder so that his hands are at the top of the ladder and the barrells will not come down on Mario. Only a barrell thrown from Donkey Kong or a fireball can get Mario when doing this. The best way to tell if your Donkey Kong machine has this older version of the software is to watch the title screen during the demo. Underneath the name, and Donkey Kong himself, you will see the copyright of Nintendo. If it reads: "1981 Nintendo" you have the older version the regular version of the program reads "1981 Nintendo of America". This is important to check because many of the cabinets that had the older version of the program got updated with new chips. The early cabinets also had a trick that could be done with a drinking straw to give unlimited gameplay. A straw inserted in the middle outside section of the upper hinge would turn sideways inside the machine and be positioned just above the credit switch. By jiggling the straw up and down, you could get up to 99 credits in seconds.

Play Forever Cheat. This is an awesome cheat that allows you to play DKJr forever in the arcades. Works well emulated too. Select a two-player game and control player one as you would normally. Now with player two, on the first board, move Junior as far to the right as possible without falling off the ledge that you start on. Make sure DKJ is in a sitting position, not the ready to jump position. Now wait until a blue snapper comes down the next vine. As soon as the snapper gets off the vine, jump towards it. You should hit the water and the snapper at the same time. Instantly, the game will revert you back to player one and not lose the player two DKJ. When player one's game is over, use this cheat with player two and the game will revert you back to player one again. Use this cheat every time player one dies to play forever. This cheat is hard to master and it may take four or five times the first time you try it just to get it working. It works under both players, so if you are emulating, I suggest setting the switches to give you six Juniors. Then, play two players and alternate the cheat until you have mastered it.

BUG This only happens in two player mode. On the second level right before the end of level baddie comes out, if one player looses all his lives, the boss will not appear and you will NOT be able to continue the game.PCHEAT Use the elbow smash against any enemy and you should be able to defeat them without any problem.PCHEAT This cheat requires two players. At the end of level two the one with the lift, player one should get the green enemy in a full nelson from behind when he is nearly dead and therefore low on energy. When all the other enemies have been killed, the games countdown timer should stop and if player two picks up the whip, the green bad guy should be able to be whipped indefinately, provided that this is done carefully. Player twos score will continue to increase and after about 20 minutes his score should reach 99,950. After that, everytime player two hits an enemy or scores some points the player should receive an extra life.PTRICK Sometimes, enemies will come out wielding sticks of dynamite. if you let them throw it, walk backwards and they should walk right into the explosion One of the oldest Double Dragon tricks.

Purchase extra life packs and dynamite punches in-between stages.

Pitcher can control speed and direction of pitched ball after pitch starts. Speed can change and/or direction can change in mid flight.

On EPROM 11, if the byte at location 7FFF is changed from 01 (which is Japanese language code) to 02, this will "convert" the game to the English/USA version. Title screen changes to say "Dr. Topple's Adventure" also.

Each boss has an attack which reveals a "core" that resembles a shiny ball. Damage the boss enough to kill it with Dragon Shoot, wait until it shows its core and hit (and kill) it with the Dragon Shoot to get a Technical Bonus.

You earn bonus points for each and every car you pass, even if you pass the same car more than once! So you can rack up extra bonus points if you allow a group of cars to pass you so that you can pass them again.

BUG: Choose a character with a 6-character name. Press the name button and then erase it and start pressing buttons to put your own letters in. The timer to enter your name will reset as long as you are pressing buttons to enter letters. What happens is that you can continue to enter more letters than the code expects and you begin to over-write the area of memory that contains character information and inventory. Depending on what letters you enter and how many you enter you can continue the game at the beginning of the next stage and already be Hasted, Invulnerable, Invisible, possessing powerful weapons, etc. The character info on screen is all garbled. Once you make it to the first shop you can drag apparently empty inventory items into the trash for large sums of silver. The game will lock up quite frequently though - especially when you pick up items that hold specific places in memory. Try using about 110 M's for a name. This glitch was removed with the later revision.<p>TIP: There is a 3rd cursed sword in the game, It is located near the 1st/2nd dragon when falling downwards through a level. Pick up the cursed sword and keep using it. It will slowly kill you and it cannot be fixed by the cleric. If you persevere for long enough, it will be unleashed and un-curse itself. This is the legendary sword the game keeps making references to when you complete it. It does horrendous damage and is very fast. It's best used with the dwarf and his whirlwind attack but works equally well with the invulnerable thief.

As was mentioned, the players get to choose different routes through the game. It <EM>is</EM> possible to slay the red dragon, only very difficult. The dragon uses his breath weapon three times: each time contact with the flame breath will result in instant death. However, continuing is allowed. After the third breath weapon, the dragon's life bar will appear and he can be slain.

Purchase extra life packs and dynamite punches in-between stages.
