Adding to this thread by saying I completed a run. A very bad one, but a run nontheless. Autosplitter kinda messed up and reset after beating Hard Mode, but I retimed it (Specifics on the video description).

Lobotomy and the secret area with the re-appearing tiles are the two worst rooms IMO.

I learned using this beginner guide by TimeLink. I don't know if there are better resources out there but this is a good start.

I was looking to do a 100% run because I've lost control of my sanity, but I have some questions about the rules.

1. Is there any mandatory version? Normally I wouldn't ask this, but since 100% requires all achievements and more get added every update, I don't know if this requires latest version, or if it even requires DLC.

2. What about the break? Does it have a maximum duration? If not, is it necessary to stream the whole break? Thinking about just using that as a sleep break cause there is no way I finish it in less than 24h lol

Anyway, yeah, those are the questions I have, thanks in advance.

You probably soft-resetted and used the continue code (A+Start)

I inagine you were in World 8 before resetting.

I kinda already did this with the portable games included earlier this year, but I paused the timer between streams. Took like 78h of gameplay.

Might try again but without pausing, but I'd need to relearn everything.

Allowed, yes. As for which platform, I actually don't know, I'd say put it on PC since it's coming from Steam (but please specify on the description for future reference).

I have the mod status of 3 Unknown games that apparently the site doesn't recognize. I don't know if it's a bug, since I don't remember being mod for any other game aside of the ones that the site correctly shows.

Please, it's literally the first thread you can see on the list.

That category is basically Any% No Major Skips, and that already exists in the category extensions page. (See: https://www.speedrun.com/smsce#Any_No_Major_Skips )

See: https://www.speedrun.com/gmd/thread/d8rbo

not only any%, it's also allowed in Warpless

I imagine the reasoning for that is, aside of being a built-in code, using it means you game overed, so you're losing time anyways. It doesn't provide any kind of benefit over not dying

I'd personally go against it. On every category, it would only save time by skipping cutscenes. Even a category to beat the game with said cheat code would be too short and/or trivial to keep track of.

I'll wait to see what people think, but I don't think it's a good idea.

Due to being able to enter the last boss without all toads, Any% has become just Low Toad% with the final boss at the end. Therefore Low Toad% has been archived due to its innecessity.

Before, it was Any% and Low Toad%, but since you don't need all toads anymore, the categories are now All Toads and Any% respectively.

I'm pretty sure that's just how speedrun.com works. I think you can't contribute with a guide until you have a run accepted in said game.

That would be the same as just having notes next to you. So yes, as long as only 1 person is playing, it's allowed.

I didn't know this game had an autosplitter? Never saw it, at least.

The only thing on the resources tab is a splits file, not an autosplitter.
As far as I know, you have to manually start and end the timer for this game.

It's been a long while since I ran this game, so maybe I'm wrong, but I swear I haven't seen an autosplitter for this yet.

For now, I'll verify your run with the current credits timing.

However, I'm more than open to discuss changing the ending timing to the "All Done" button (In case of Any%, at Pat's Party. In case of Best Ending/100%, at Pat's house.)

I personally don't mind either timing option, but I'd like to see what people think.

That's what I'm doing right now. I wanted to just be patient, but 8 months seems to be quite a long time for a single run.

Thank you for at least responding.
