Donkey Kong 3 / Re: DK3 - World Records and Badges

Personal opinion, I don't think we need separate badges for the different difficulties, and definitely not for arcade vs. MAME. My thoughts have always been that unless there are unique controls on a cabinet that can't easily be duplicated on a computer (i.e. Star Wars, Paperboy, Mad Planets), or different game behavior between PCB and MAME, then the highest recorded, verifiable score should be considered the WR, regardless of platform. I like the way you've been tracking things to this point (with the current and former WR badges)...I do like Riley's idea of a current and former "undisputed" badge for anyone that wants to go after all the difficulties.
All that being said, I do see how badge collecting can be a fun thing to do, and along with wanting the competition, we are also here to have fun...so yeah, whatever works, have at it!
Btw, great job on compiling the history of the WRs!
