New Spelunky world record score exceeds $3 million

Somebody played seven hours of one run in Spelunky and set a new world record score.


From Destructoid:

It's a run that will, at least for the foreseeable future, remain at the top of the leaderboards.Bananasaurus Rex, known as being the first person to complete a solo eggplant run, has set the new world record score: $3,105,850.

That's absolutely insane, but kudos to Bananasaurus Rex, both to the ability to play the game for that long and that nickname. Here's the video of the entire 7+ hour run:

I recently purchased Spelunky in Sony's blowout sale to open up the new year. It's an absolute blast to pick-up and play, especially on the Vita, but I'm still barely able to get a run to last over 15 minutes. Just getting $1 million as a high score would be a huge triumph.
