Wasn't Pacman score legit though. It was the Donkey Kong stuff he cheated with which was obvious when it happened like in the Donkey Kong doc he never played in public but the other dude did.

It might be, but most speedrunning communities don't accept records from known cheaters due to the nature of cheating in speedruns. While top-level speedrunners can analysize speedruns for a variety of potential cheats through frame analysis, audio spectrum analysis, and general software or hardware anomalies, a skilled cheater can still pass off a record that goes for months or even years without being discovered. The communities lose nothing by cutting away known cheater whole cloth.

Their compelling evidence was, assuredly, cash. However, it doesn't matter because nobody with any power in the modern Millennial/Gen Z fueled gaming community recognizes Mitchell as legitimate meaning any influence/credibility he has on modern media platforms is effectively nonexistent.

I wouldn't have a problem if he was willing to recreate his record on actual hardware.

He is the King of Kong afterall.

They have, his records are for being the first to 1 million points.
