The man who supposedly did it said he never intended it to be reguarded as legit, but rather wanted to show what was theoretically possible for a perfect player.

Not really. He basically did it with an emulator, using the emulator's saving points - if he missed, he just went back to where he last saved. At the end, he had the whole perfect game recorded (I've seen this video and it's not 100% perfect, he loses about 2 seconds at the second stage in World 1).
There's a legion of players who try to break speed records at games, I've seen some videos and it's insane... My favorite is the guy who finished Half Life 1 in about 30 minutes (exploiting map and game bugs).
