for me he's at 103000 with 3 lives left :o
I had it on last night on G4 as some background noise, but I wasn't really paying attention
It's a giant smearfest against Billy. Wiebe is just a stupid librul loser. Know your place.

Wiebe's jealous because all he has is Donkey Kong, while Billy rules over a hot sauce empire with his ex-stripper wife. :burgerking
Doesn't Billy Mitchell hold other records too?
i heard that today he jumped over THREE BARRELS AT ONCE
which is like, the only time anyone has ever done that
ever
Is there a reason why you can't just climb to the top of the screen and jump over barrels indefinitely to boost your score? It seems like it'd be possible, so I wonder why everyone just tries to play the game straight up.
One of the mods in the live feed said that if you spend too much time in one level boosting your score, they disqualify you from competitive Donkey Kong.

Is there a strict time limit for each level? A limit to how many points you can earn per level? Or is it just at the judge's discretion to tell you to move on when you are obviously gaming the system?
Lulz. The power went out and killed his game around 250k.
What the hell is a kill screen?

At a certain point, the game just kills you and then ends.
Disputed facts
Walter Day of Twin Galaxies believes that the documentary is dishonest in its portrayal of the actual events. In posts on a Twin Galaxies forum entitled "The King of Kong — Official Statement"[19] he contends, among other things, that:
* In 2000 Tim Sczerby reached a high score of 879,200 points. Steve Wiebe beat both this score and Billy Mitchell's 1982 score. (In response, the film's producers claim that "Tim Sczerby's consistently disputed record was impossible to verify and did not merit inclusion in the film."[20])
* Billy Mitchell was not always avoiding Steve Wiebe. They met and played together on several occasions before the time period of the film, notably the 2004 Classic Gaming Expo, and they were on very friendly terms — even giving interviews together. In one scene in the film, it is implied that Mitchell drove away from his restaurant when he learned Wiebe was there, but Day contends that in fact Mitchell came in with his whole family and greeted everyone apologetically, including Wiebe.[21]
* Steve Wiebe actually held the high score record for almost 3 years, and when his videotaped score of 1,006,000 points was rejected, the record actually reverted back to Wiebe's own previous record reached in 2003 — it did not revert to Billy Mitchell's 1982 score as implied by the film.
* Mitchell's videotaped record sent to the Funspot event was actually discarded after the event, and Walter Day apologized "for the mistake of approving this videotape without the benefit of a complete verification process". The score was reverted to Wiebe's score achieved at Funspot.[22]
Day feels that the information presented above "shows that Twin Galaxies did recognize Steve Wiebe's great skills and honor him," and "reveals that Twin Galaxies did not elbow Steve's accomplishment aside so as to protect Billy Mitchell's 874,300 point score."[23]
Other facts
Director Seth Gordon has also admitted to skewing facts and altering time-lines during various interviews[24] concerning the movie. Through careful editing and instigation, Seth Gordon was able to create a storyline loosely based on reality. However, Gordon contends that the movie would have been "darker" had he not played with the facts; a 2008 interview/article by Retro Gamer Magazine, 52nd issue, with Billy Mitchell, Walter Day, and Steve Wiebe suggest otherwise.
The planned follow-up is said to fix the facts together and continue with the friendly rivalry between Mitchell and Wiebe.

Is it a set point? Like, should he have known about it? If it's random, then this shit is about as valid as being the world champion in Crash Team Racing.
