CanadaHi there! Loved this little game! I think for sure that in-game timer should be the right way to go while keeping in mind that we need to press start to see the timer at the end, not sure if the time stop when you grab a strawberry or it continues (if it continues, it would be a few sec loss before being able to press start and see the time, but i thiiink it pauses itself if you're not in control of madeline. Need to investigate this.)
we can consider a "timer" and "in-game timer", people will still use a timer with splits, a lot of games have both.
about Peak%, do we really want to see a 15 sec run?
I personally think that checkpoints, 5,10,15,20 strawberry, that's a bit too many categories. The game is small. My personal take on this would be:
- any% / peak% (even if it's ridiculously fast lol would be completed once triggering the flag, since the credits are there i would count this as the way to "complete" the game)
- 20 strawberries (all strawberries in the overworld minus the 10 b-side)
- 100% (all strawberries)
Honestly from my perspective, even if a "no-item" category was added with RNG being the main reason behind it, it would not be possible to avoid lightning. Most of the items you'll get in first place are bananas, and doesnt effect the run. The only things that come to mind is the first place mushroom which can happen often when lucky and the Star glitch in Koopa Troopa Beach, which is noooott thaaat baaad actually. I agree that it can be annoying to kill a run because of items rng. But lightning also kills run and probably in an even more annoying way. I think admins might consider it as an "extended category" for fun (which doesnt exist as of now if im not mistaken), but never as an official one for sure.
In the past i've seen a few posts about new category.. in pretty much all of them, it only felt like they wanted to add a category where they are good at because they're not good in the official one, like "I like playing the races backward, so i want a category where we play backward, so i might have a chance to be first place because I won't ever be able to in 150 no-skip/skip" I don't want to feel rude, but that's how I feel. In THIS specific case, it feels more legit, an enjoyable way to play, where its almost 100% driving skill without rng. So I would not oppose to it, but it would be as an extended category, even if unfortunately im confident admins will not create it hahaha ! :P
I might be wrong and my goal is not to sound rude at all but, I think the problem, on mk64 at least, is that when you start a cup, 2 CPUs will "rubber band" to you no matter what, the same 2 CPUs on each track, so in 90% of cases, every run would end up to be the same. That means the goal is not speed, it's just about ****ing the AI, so where is the speedrun lol ? :P
I don't think any game on speedrun.com has anything gameshark related. That's not what speedrun is. Because I could just find a gameshark code that ends every race, or bring to the credits, spawn the final boss in the first stage. I think that's not what speedrunning is meant to be. Speedrunning is running a game as is, with or without the glitches the developers didn't fix or never found out. It's about skills, it's about nostalgia, it's about love for a specific game. Running a game with cheats ON, it's really not as fun. Speedrunning at 600cc with infinite stars, ok it's fast, but.. what's the point in the end? Is it really impressive ? Is it really something people want to fight for the first place ? I don't think so.
You even made a website for it, as a full time web designer/web developer, it hurts a little bit but hey its Weebly you do what you can and it's fine! :P I'm happy to see how you seem to like this idea, how you think it has potential and a game surely gets bigger with new ideas. But, using gameshark in speedrunning... I don't think it's ever gonna be a thing, even for Misc. categories :/

Just ask if you need help!
Does it look like this ? (don't be scared of the language used)
Because it's a known glitch ;)
The only problem I see is that "Mutant Mudds Collection" is technically not the same game, "Mutant Mudds" doesn't have this game mode, so technically I don't see why this game mode should be here as a category. Maybe in an other page on speedrun.com, but.. yeah..
Or, maybe i'm crazy and I don't know what i'm talking about ! :D
Can be between 0 minute and a few days, I work 5 days a week so I don't have much free time. I should be able to validate them later today if I don't forget haha :D
it depends on how your account is configured

This link should bring you to your notifications settings where you can change everything ;)
The game is barely alive, but it's not my fault :P
I'm here to validate your runs and answer your questions :)
I receive a mail alert everytime something happens in here, so I do my best to keep this game alive on speedrun.com !
It would be prefered in fact lol :P When I tried to add the timer I've got like 48 sec.. I know it's impossible, the video is probably a little bit laggy, so it would be appreciated (and maybe you'll get a better PB !) :P
Hum I also removed your run temporarily because I figured out that the rules were not well written. Because 3DS doesn't have any in-game timer, it's hard to know when to start the timer exactly / be precise. So at first, I thought the most logical solution was to start the timer when pressing A to enter the level.. ( it's how the runs in the leaderboard are working anyway :/ ) So I think what i'm gonna do is taking a look at how much time it takes from "A press" to when you can move and add it to your time to get your real time. I think that's all I can do and I hope you understand the situation! :) Thank you!
From what I remember, I never accepted his runs, Knokoat did, so logically I don't watch a run that is already validated :/
The nbr of runs we receive for validation is so low that.. i guess we sometimes forget the rules lol
Thank you for telling us, I'll keep that in mind for the future. Knokoat is a good boy and will review this run :)
I don't speedrun Single Cups but I agree that everybody should be able to do it if they don't own the game on real console.
Pretty sure that if the person who decided that was an emulator player, Emu would be accepted... I'm not the one who decide that, but I feel like everybody should have a chance :)
Hi :) I would like to change my current username to "Tashiro64" ! Thank you in advance :)
I could understand that Any% is the same as 100% but without gems, but Any% has always been "finishing the game and ignoring every bonus elements".
So for me :
16 levels : only finish the 16 main levels 16 levels + gems : finish the 16 main levels and collect all gems in these levels. Any% : finish the 16 main levels and collect all gems in these levels to unlock the 4 last level and finish them without collecting all gems. 100% : finish every level in the game including secret levels and collect all of the 4000 gems.
Am I wrong ?
I decided to make this topic in case I have some questions about the runs you guys send me.
And it appears I have one question for Knokoat with his Any% run. You collected all gems to unlock the 4 bonus levels, this is great. Then in these levels you don't collect gems anymore because it's not required.. That's fine too ! BUT.. There is something I'm not sure about.. I'm not sure to understand why you get to every secret levels ? Since this is Any%, you should only finish the 16 main levels then the 4 bonus levels.. and.. that's it.
This is like between an Any% run and a 100% run.
But I didn't play since a long time.. maybe I forgot something.. Can you explain me everything ? :P
Thank you !
For the powerup, i guess it's ok, since it doesnt give any advantage if you don't use it. Anyway I watch every runs entirely to make sure everything is fine.
For the leaderboard, I'll try to do something, I think there was a problem with how speedrun.com works and this is the reason why I did it that way. I'll try something if I can.
