So I recently wanted to try my hand at speedrunning this but I was wondering if it was allowed to have multiple runs within the same video and sumbit that video to the appropriate category (ex. somone completes a 50 apple run but they can also sumbit that same video so 25 apple category and have the time for that on the leaderboard). Or does each run have to have a seperate video?

Here's my run, not that great but I can easily improve

With my runs recently and comparing them to others I've found that NTSC has the most inconsistent load times from pressing start in the beginning to actually skipping the track intro cutscene and they are also longer than all the other versions. Going from track to track seems to be more consistent but I could play a cup the same exact way twice and get times that can be up to 10sec of difference just from loads.

I was wondering if we just removed loads all together or made a loadless time thing next to the original. I can understand why you wouldn't do it because that would mean retiming EVERY SINGLE run on the leaderboard but it was just a concern because the loading times can affect players even with digital because it can vary there too.

I did look at older forums and saw the research you guys did and it seemed pretty solid but NTSC still has crazy lod times and could be a sturggle for most players. Maybe instead of retiming all runs just start the timer once Lakitu says go and other loads should be better as they're more consistent.

It doesn't seem like a bad idea it would just be a little awkward to add to this games leaderboard

This may seem kinda stupid but I have 2 questions.

1. When exactly is the last hit on satan because I have seen different runs stop at different times?

2. In the overall time of a run, since the loads are inconsistent, should we just remove our load times manually and submit the loadless time or is it done a different way?
