In the early morning hours of July 3, coming off a stinging defeat only hours earlier, our man finkel finally did it: a new, massive world record of 1,584,400 on Donkey Kong Junior!
It's no easy feat to dethrone Phil Tudose on any game, but Justin not only passed Phil, but did so by a significant margin of 28,900 points. Phil set his score of 1,555,500 on December 18, 2021 but had been in the top spot since July 31, 2020 when he leapt passed Mark Kiehl's 1,412,200 with a score of 1,478,000.
After watching all the innovation and huge scores over the past few years, it feels like we're finally on the verge of breaking that 1.6M barrier. Who will be the first?!
Congrats on the huge game, Justin! And I can't wait to see what comes next!
