Donkey Kong ‘King’ Billy Mitchell loses crown after Twin Galaxies ban (updated)

He once was the king of Donkey Kong, but one of the world’s most famous gamers has just lost all of his records in the wake of a cheating scandal. Score-keeping site Twin Galaxies has finished its investigation of Billy Mitchell, who was the subject of the hit documentary King of Kong, and it has determined that he did misrepresent how he played Nintendo’s arcade classic in his three highest-scoring runs.

“Twin Galaxies administrative staff has unanimously decided to remove all of Billy Mitchell’s scores as well as ban him from participating in our competitive leaderboards,” reads a statement. “We have notified the Guinness World Records of our decision.”
