Former Donkey Kong Record Holder Billy Mitchell Accused Of Cheating Yet Again
King of Kong Billy Mitchell has once again been accused of cheating. Allegedly, new evidence further suggests that he did not use original hardware to perform some of his record-breaking Donkey Kong runs.
According to speedrunning YouTuber Karl Jobst, newly found photographs show that Mitchell used a eight-way joystick, rather than the original machine’s four-way, on at least one of the disputed records. An eight-way joystick would enable players to perform feats impossible for players using original hardware. If Mitchell did use this machine, he would have had an advantage against other potential record holders.
In 2018, arcade high scores website Twin Galaxies and the Guinness Book of World Records removed three of Billy Mitchell’s Donkey Kong scores after the record holder was accused of cheating. Allegedly, the tape recordings of the three scores prove that Mitchell was using an emulator, rather than an original arcade machine. Twin Galaxies do record and rank high scores from emulator play, albeit in a separate category.
