You can watch DVD's over and over again forever. What is he going to do with his 5 min of fame from beating DK?

Now if someone could just explain one other thing to me. THERE'S 22 LEVELS IN DONKEY KONG? I had absolutely no idea! I thought there was the barrels, the elevators, and then the conveyor belt. Only three levels. I must not be as good at that game as I thought! (Makes me want to find one and start playing again.

The scary thing about this kind of a record is that it's not just about getting to the 117th screen, as many people have done that.
A record score requires an optimal performance through the 117 screens. You have to jump multiple barrels at once for bonus points, grab hammers to smash the maximum number of enemies, and try to get a maximum time bonus for each level.
Shattering the record by this margin means he spent a LOT of time perfecting his routes through the game.
