The SMB1 leaderboard has a bunch of times that don't include decimals and a bunch that do include decimals. It's possible some are not calculated correctly, and it can cause people to be placed above or under others when it's possible they shouldn't be.
For example, in this screenshot it's entirely possible that Trevor Seguin could have a 5:06.9x, which would actually put him in 19th place, but we don't know that. This could be easily solved by timing the run to the hundredth of a second or so, but kind of stuff is all over the leaderboard. Timing every single run would be just silly; I've thought about just removing decimals from every run beyond a certain time boundary (Like 5:05 and slower, up to subjection) and pretty much have most of the leaderboard look like this
Since it's simple to accurately time the top runs using an emulator, I think the top runs should still be separated by decimals, but for slower runs I don't see decimals being needed since it can put people in the wrong place and it looks a bit cluttered.
even when they're somewhat trivial, I like things to be correct. It's probably just nitpicking and unnecessary to do this, and if you think that, it's understandable - what's your opinion?
This game and its version differences are great, aren't they... I have some ideas for this game's leaderboard due to this difference :P
for the SNES/FDS difference: have both versions on the same leaderboard ¤or¤ Split the two into their own games (since the All Stars version has some categories exclusive to it like "D-4 Warpless" "D-4 Any%" for example)
For Mario/Luigi... same leaderboard, but must clarify which character used before submitting? or let each character have its own leaderboard (like any% mario/any% luigi).
If all of these were to be combined onto one leaderboard, have an option to filter what you want to see (certain character, certain platform, like how ZSR has theirs set up)
I thought I'd bring this up because of the version difference+character difference can possibly make for a cluttered leaderboard (i.e., the pbtracker leaderboard)
