Speedrunning would probably be more interesting, e.g. completing levels as fast as possible.
I don't remember seeing regenerating items in the main game. If you go through a checkpoint with the score, let's say, 80000, you collect some stuff, a 1 up and die with the score 83000 you keep the score of 83000 when going back to the checkpoint? Uhh, the developers should've really thinked about making this not happen in the game.

There is no one who bothered to actually aim for the highest score in the game, then post it somewhere?
