Hello, I have recently completed a speedrun of the GBA version of the game () and I have noticed that there is currently no category for this. Could the GBA version of the game be added as a category?

Or, given that the game title on speedrun.com contains "GCN/PS2", would it make more sense to create a request the GBA version as a "new game" on speedrun.com?

Any help with this matter is greatly appreciated! :)

I will add a board for the GBA version here for now. If we want to divide it in the future we can do that.

Thank you for the swift reply! There are two other things I wanted to discuss regarding GBA runs.

  1. Currently, if I try to submit a run, the only options for "platform" is GCN/PS2. For the GBA category, this should be modified so the only option is GBA.

  2. Unlike the GCN/PS2 version, the final magazine is closed only after a somewhat long credits sequence that doesn't require any input from the runner. I propose that the timer for GBA runs should end on the last required player input before the end credits appear (although I'm open to other end conditions). If you want a better idea of how the ending plays out, I would recommend checking out timestamp 2:59:05 in the video (I messed up the livesplit timer so ignore that >.<)

  1. I forgot to add GBA to the platforms, that was my fault
  2. Thank you. I didn't know much about the GBA version except it was different. I'll put the end when the credits start.
