Congratulations Marco1019!
 
Congratulations to @Marco1019 on winning our NES Donkey Kong Squad Challenge! What a tremendous score! This will be something to "brag" about on your next stream! Marco secured the top spot on in our Donkey Kong Squad Challenge with his score of 156,500 points! @AtariSphinx brought his A-game with a tremendous showing, taking 2nd Place with a score of 100,700 points! For the second Squad Challenge in a row I took 3rd Place - this time  with a score of 95,000 points. I just couldn't break the 100,000 point mark (Donkey Kong is brutal!) but I'm going to give it another shot even though the Squad Challenge is over. We had a tremendous turnout for our NES Donkey Kong Squad Challenge! Another one of our best Squad Challenges in recent history! @Gianna @nosweargamer @TrekMD @Dinobot711 @RickR @socrates63 and @Atari Creep all showed up with powerful scores. 
Congratulations to @Marco1019 on his big win, and a huge THANK YOU to everyone whose been getting the word out about our community and inviting others to join us in High Score Squad. As always I'd like to encourage @Marco1019 to post his high score on the Scoreboard, and let's make sure this Challenge continues on! And a big congratulations to our community for being such a great group to spend time with, I hope everybody had fun playing this classic NES title and I hope everybody enjoyed playing on the advanced difficulty settings.
NOTE: Our next High Score Squad Challenge is for the Atari Lynx! Be there!

Working on improving my High Score
62,900

OK, played a bit and improved on my score...
 

I had a much better experience with the wireless Retron controller.  32,000.  I will try again later. 
 

Quick game, you say? I've been trying since this challenge started and only managed 39k, and you nonchalantly play a quick game and blow past my score 🤣 😄 I suck 😂 I'm not much of a platform gamer. Great start @TrekMD 👍

OK, I just played a quick game.  Here is my score...
 

Going live with my attempt
Best from the stream: 49,000, which you can see around the 25 minute mark.
 

49,800. Tricky tricky 😖
 

First try:  18400.  I really need to invest in a new NES controller.

This one's going to take a bit of practice. I think my biggest challenge is the d-pad. I'm just not very good with the d-pad. I may need to pick up that 8bitdo arcade stick.
BTW, I'm playing on a RetroPi.

156,500. Played on OpenEmu which uses the Nestopia core.
