<P> At the film's conclusion, Wiebe beats Mitchell's score to gain a new Donkey Kong record on tape . </P> <P> In a 2007 interview, Mitchell has stated that he never expected to play the role of the villain and did not anticipate hate mail and badgering phone calls he would receive post-release . </P> <P> On July 26, 2007, on the 25th anniversary of Mitchell's first record - setting performance, Mitchell again retook the Donkey Kong record with a score of 1,050,200, though that score was surpassed on February 26, 2010 by Hank Chien, who was temporarily the record holder of Donkey Kong . Mitchell reclaimed his title once again on July 24, 2010; it was the last time he would hold the record . The record was broken numerous times over the next six years by Wiebe, Chien, Wes Copeland, and Robbie Lakeman; each held the record at least twice in that span . On February 2, 2018, Robbie Lakeman set the new world record with 1,247,700 . </P> <P> On February 2, 2018, Donkey Kong Forum removed three of Mitchell's highest scores from its high - scores list following analysis by Jeremy Young who stated that the scores were set using the MAME arcade emulator instead of arcade hardware . Mitchell stated on the East Side Dave Show, "I've never even played MAME . I don't have MAME loaded in my home ." Mitchell continues by saying "The film footage that he has, that Jeremy has, shows MAME play...I'm not disputing what he says . What I'm disputing is the fact that I want him to have the original tape ." Young's analysis has been criticized by Mitchell as being from an altered tape that otherwise matches Mitchell's gameplay pixel - for - pixel, to which Young responds that "The amount of foresight, patience, and technical knowledge required would be staggering" to make such tapes . </P>
