A game that immediately comes in mind is Super Punch-Out!! Getting a high score not necessary means that you must KO your opponent as fast as possible, so it would be different enough from the existing movie. There are some scores & strats on Jarboo's page which can be reached at: http://membres.multimania.fr/jarboo/IndexGB.html
I'm the best in the Universe! Remember that!

The pc game Psycho Waluigi would be good for scorerunning, since almost everything drops a coin when destroyed, and it is not always a trivial task to collect the coin (e.g. in autoscrolling sections, sections over pits, also taking into account that you're given points for time left so there's a tradeoff to be considered) The N64/PC game Wetrix has two timed modes that would be good for scorerunning, since while the optimal strategy is pretty obvious (make as many lakes and duckies as possible, get rainbow multipliers, stop ice, etc) the devil is in the details. There's already a TAS for this game - can it be improved?
