Can't say the Kirby participation didn't disappoint me. Part of the contest's intent is getting people to play new games, so hopefully MrPeaPod and/or quest enjoyed it

These are both actually some of my favorites and I bet others feel the same way. I never stopped playing either of these somewhat regularly since they were in stores. I actually put so many hours into Dream Course last month without getting any better that I just didn't feel like playing more this month. Not playing for score anyway, so showing off in DKC is more appealing.  

I'm actually surprised by how much participation Dream Course got! For large portions of the month it was the only game being talked about.

Have family visiting tonight. Didnt want to accidently forget to upload this  

Updated DKC. I'll take my Bonus Point Please.  After my 1:07 run I got 1:01 then 1:00 even. Was pretty pissed off. Then buckled down and destroyed it on my next attempt a couple weeks ago. Will probably give it one more try to get it down further. World record is 0:43 game time for 101 percent. So 0:54 feels pretty damn good. After I got this run I focused on just trying to beat kirby. Had a good time with kirby and I could work my score down but beating it is good enough for me. I thought it was pretty fun except for a handful of courses that make me want to pull my hair out. On course 8 I did well enough on a few courses to allow me to post 2 double digit strokes on holes to survive

Well done and well earned


I haven't played DKC in 20 years, but I actually made myself very nostalgic last night thinking about the various music tracks that are still in my head

I should have pulled up my pants and got a sub 1 hour time as well. Only had enough time this month to make one attempt. I'll put in a serious effort next month!

I had a fun time playing kdc. Kirby's is a game I enjoy playing on my own time so putting up a good score was something I thought I'd be able to do. I've got gold on each course before but making consistent shots is harder than it looks

Thank you. I'm no longer last place in DKC.

I was too lazy to go for a high completion percentage and simply beat the game. I've never been a completionist with the DKC games and always just tried to beat them.

Posted scores for both games on my page 1 post.

​Fun month, even though I literally only got to spend about 5 hours combined on these games.

Unfortunately I never found the time to play this any further, but participation is better than nothing, so here is my DKC score:

21 minutes: 40%
