Eighteen-year-old Twitch user YamaYamaDingDong has become the new record-holder for Spelunky, beating the previous high score by $4,000 with an impressive $3,109,850.

The previous world record of $3,105,850 was held by Bananasaurus_Rex and was achieved after a nearly seven-and-a-half-hour run with the Plasma Cannon two months ago. The record before that stood at a still impressive $2,980,000 before eventually being beaten by Bananasaurus_Rex.

YamaYamaDingDong’s run, however, was considerably shorter than Bananasaurus_Rex’s at a still lengthy four hours and forty-five minutes. Despite this shorter run, YamaYamaDingDong still managed to beat the score. The record-breaker still wants to keep improving his score and now wishes to aim for a score of $3.25 million at some point in the future.
