So the DS game is really different from the PC/Console ones. In my opinion, it should have its own game page. But, you can just make a different category... whatever you feel like. Here it is an example of what a run would look like (I explain more or less what I know - very little, yet - about the game):

The following message is in the #battles LEGO Speedrunning Discord channel. If you aren't in the Discord, I recommend going there. If you don't want to go there, you still have a vote on this by replying to this thread with the number that appears before the choices.

I'm finally free. And with that, changes come. I want to bring back the discussion in relation to the level order. I think it might not be the best way to play the game as how the current rules are. One point is that in some acts the game gives you the choice between 2 levels. The current rules would reject a run that doesn't follow the order that is written in the guides section, which chooses for you the level to do in these situations. Also, some games in the LEGO series have decided to let the player choose the order of levels in categories like Replay Story and Free Play (which it is the case for every category in this game, except 100%). So, I present you these two choices, react with the emote shown to choose the way (you can select multiple choices).

1. Follow the order as if you would play the game from a fresh file. In cases where multiple levels appear, you can choose the order in which to complete those levels. The guide "Order of Missions (by story)" will be updated.
2. Let the player choose the order of levels. The guide "Order of Mission (by story)" will be removed.
3. If you want to suggest another way, write this number and write your suggestion.

As this game's community is small and new things are discovered slowly, the leaderboards suffer from changes from time to time. Until now, the updates were only communicated through the LEGO Battles' LEGO Speedrunning Discord channel (where the discussion of the game takes place). From today the updates will be put into this log and through discord. Note: the valid rules are the ones that the "View Rules" button says.

June 4th, 2021 From now on, the only allowed emulator will be Desmume 0.9.11 (in the download page, download the build they say is more stable. It is the first three links, each link for each operating system). Runs before this change will not be affected. The next sentence is for emulator and capture card runs. Reminder that you can use any type of layout (this is new for emulator) making sure you show both screens clearly.

July 27th, 2020 Rules have been set regarding emulators. Don't panic they are very simple. As with the previous updates, runs before this change that don't follow the new rules won't be deleted. This is a rather young community and changes are made as the problems arise. I hope you are comprehensive with this. Nothing more to say. If you have any problems setting up OBS Studio (and similar) don't hesitate on contacting me. As final words, I'll just say that I hope this community grows even more. So, get your Builders ready and GO FAST!!

January 13th, 2020 Game audio is now required, just for the sake of authentication. As you know it is possible to quickly touch the continue button on any level and the results screen doesn't appear. If there is no game audio, I can't tell, sometimes, if it has been pressed or not. Runs affected before this change will still be valid.

October 27th, 2019 Red Brick IL leaderboards have been created. The notation is as follows: (better explained with an example) I want to submit an ACT 2 Earth Red Bricks IL run. Then, Category: ACT 2, Level: Earth RB, Earth Act 2: FULL ACT. To resume, Category: ACT #, Level: [Story] [RB/NRB], [Story] Act #: [Select Level or FULL ACT]. When looking into View All, you will see the FULL ACT times.

26th October, 2019 It wasn't explicitly said in the rules that a video was recquired, but it was when you submit a run. Now the rules say "Video of the run is recquired". Remember that any kind of video is valid if it shows the full run (so webcam runs are totally valid). For emulator runs, they are also allowed. Throughout the following weeks, I will check the best emu so there is fair game between emu and console.

As you may notice in many games such as SMS, SM64 or others with "Worlds", there are runs of IW (Individual Worlds). So i suggest having a spot like level leaderboard or full game leaderboard for these types of run as they aren't level runs neither full game runs. Runs like Master Sword could be there, as it is a segment for zelda games. But, as you know each community will work as they want.

Is there any difference between PAL and NTSC in this game?

Is there any one?

Hi, i'm the mod of LEGO Battles and i'm currently routing each story of the game. I'm having some issues with missions that are big battles and i would like to know if you can give any advice. Also, i have some missions routed well. To know how the game works, more or less, you can go to the leaderboards and watch the 1 Story - Earth - No Red Bricks run and contact me on Discord (Vichino is my nickname and i have an image of a magickoopa)

I don't know if you are too busy or not, but it has been 4 days since i submitted my run, so if you would give me reason why this happens. Becasuse in before, it lasted only 1 day until my run was verified

For me the next skips where unkown for me and in my opinion are faster: 3-6(here if you watch my pb i do other wario skip by jumping on a koopa later in the level), 4-4 and 5-3 backup.

This ones are known: 2-8

The ones i feel that aren't faster: 2-4 (this one i don't feel it faster because of the animation of switching babies and the thing that you need to go to another room that doesn't make any progress in the level as this is any%)

And i don't see where is the skip in 3-7.

But thanks for the work you are putting in this game, hope you run it someday.

Which are the faster builds (character, kart and wheels)?

There is a version for PS4 called Super Turbo Championship Edition, is it the same? And, it's possibl to do the glitches done in this version?

Ok, this game doesn't have any tutorial about how to do mini turbos (or power slide turbos) and if there are, can you post a link with videos explaining those tricks, i have read about how to, it is while drifting release r button and tap the opposite direction, but i don't know where i am failing. And also the start boosting.

And if you can post a link with ILs it will be very nice.

I am just a beginner so i want to learn.

Because in november is coming the nes mini, and the version of this game is with mr dream and not tyson, if i submit a run with mr dream is it allowed?

This game with glitches is absolutely broken, so why not a glitchless category?
