Disable score
These patches disable the score entirely. That is, when Keen gets items he is not given any points at all. This also disables the Extra Keen At code as well.

Set score to zero
These patches set Keen's score to zero when certain things happen.
On dying\exiting level
The first patch here sets keen's score to zero when he dies. changing the first two bytes to $90 will also do this when he exits the level normally. (Unless something else is done with the score, this pretty much renders the score useless.) The second patch will also set keen's ammo to zero, by changing the brown highlighted ammo value using values from Patch:Game stats you can change what else is set to zero. It is also possible to set Keen's score (And other things) to other values by changing the blue highlighted values.

Dying removes any points got in level
This patch saves Keen's score when he enters a level, then, if he dies, resets the score to what it was. This means Keen can only get points on completing a level (Excluding the teleport to the secret level.) This means only a set number of points can be collected in a playthrough.
It can be seen that the variable stores is the low word of the score, this can be changed to store other things if desired.
Note that the Keen 4\5 patch uses the EGAGRAPH check skip and so is incompatible with any other patches that use this. The last two lines replace the Extra Keen At Score with the stored score for the players benefit, but are not necessary and can be removed. (Those two lines do not stop the player getting EKA bonuses.) Likewise the Keen 5 patch displays the stored score in Keen's scorebox. The Keen 6 patch disables the creature question.
