It seems that Steve Wiebe and current Donkey Kong champ, Billy Mitchell, have been duking it out in an ongoing battle to claim the game’s world record.
Wiebe, being the underdog, has gained the support of Stride Gum who even went as far as saying that they will give the man $10,001 dollars in quarters if they beat Mitchell’s high score of 1,049,100. Gary Osifchin, marketing director over at Stride, was quoted to say:
“Steve Wiebe is an inspiration to gamers everywhere, and we believe he truly deserves the title of Donkey Kong world champion. This is exactly the kind of long lasting endeavor that we here at Stride appreciate, and we have full confidence that Wiebe will once again surpass the million points mark and avoid the kill screen for long enough in the process.”
