I agree, given that this was verified by a referee.

Looks like the score first appears here:

If nothing else, the verification date and method TG is currently reporting is incorrect.

2004 june 11 is a common date, not sure if it was a mass import date, or migration date, but whatever the case is yeah, its one of those dates that arent accurate

The referee saw the photo and entered the score, lol.

Just checked out Brandon Fish's other 3 scores, they also had the exact same date for what thats worth

i'm also suprised there were no false hits. i thought for sure a search on brandon fish would bring up a lot of @Desidious stuff

This is most likely a typing error, I think the score was actually 9,826,510 which would be close to a max out, but the referee put an extra 0 at the end by mistake.

Voting Yes!

Heh heh, I know that's the scores were recorded in Nintendo Power.

Yeah, that's my worry since the magazine may have accepted the score without knowing if slow mo or cheats were used?

Change the "may have accepted without knowing" to "had no possible way of knowing, because they required only a photo."
