I'm writing this in English for everyone to understand.

As far as I understood the categories for this game are the following.

ANY%
Finish the game as quickly as possible. Easy-peasy.

100%
Finish the game AND complete all the police missions.

EXTRAS ANY MEDAL AND ALL GOLD
That's self-explanatory.

MAX%
Finish the game and the extras. Are the police missions required?

SUPER%
Beat the game and all extras with gold medals. Again, are all the police missions required?

Thanks in advance.

I think you should stick to NTSC.
Overall higher speed is preferrable than saving a few frames.
And the dialogues are only a small part in the game.

Just watch how faster are US/JAP games compared to our EU games:

I think you should consider the idea to split the leaderboards into different sections for each console.

N64 has faster loading times than PS for example, and any run will always be faster.

Hi, I've got a question for who plays on arcade: is there a difficulty selection screen on the arcade/emulator?

I want to add a rule for future speedruns: to show clearly the difficulty selection screen before recording.

You should play the US/JP version of ANY console game, because NTSC has a higher framerate than PAL.

In the end I decided to just buy the game. Thank you very much for the explanation anyway.

Hi everyone, I've got a question about the rules.
Basically, the rules state that you have to start from a clean save, showing that you are erasing all your progress.

The problem is that I've got a free version of the game for android (vers. 1.4+), and resetting the file means that to unlock every floor I have to watch advertisements, which is a waste of time and a real pain.
Do I really have to erase the progress? Or may I stop the timer when playing the advertisements to unlock the levels?

I'm planning to do a simple any%.

Thanks in advance

This game can be frustrating and hard as f@ck sometimes.
Does anybody know an effective way to dodge the missiles they fire at you?

In the hard difficulty a missile is enough to one-shot you.
Although I managed to complete a speedrun on Hard, I can't find a way to dodge 'em consistently.

Thanks.

Some time ago, I've uploaded a video walkthrough for all the locations of the Greek tablets in the game, it might be useful for you, if you want to make a 100% speedrun.

Enjoy!

Hi Blooddive, I really like and support your idea!

Playing with the extra planes gives us the chance to study new ideas and strategies to be as fast as possible.

I agree with you for the 100% speedrun as well: collect every plane in the game, get the highest promotion and earning every medal in the game.
However, I think that killing EVERY enemy in the game would be way too much time consuming and useless, because the game awards you the highest rank without the need to kill off everything you see on the screen.
The minimum time required to do a 100% run is more or less 3 hours, considering that to achieve the highest rank you have to play on "hard" difficulty.

And I think that is not useful to have a Medal% separated category, as it would be already implied in the 100% category.

If you are really sadist/masochist, you should add a "machine guns only" category, or a "A4 100% hard mode" category, lol :^]

Hello, I want to become moderator for the Strikers 1945 leaderboards.
The original moderator quit the site some time ago, and I've submitted the run more than a month ago.
Thanks.

Hi, are you going to add a separate category for emulated runs anytime soon?

Thanks.

Hello, I've submitted two speedruns (any% Monkey and Child) more than a month ago.
Are the moderators still active around here?

Thanks.

Some games (like Resident Evil) have strict rules on which emulators are allowed.
The Little Mermaid doesn't have such strict rules.

I use PSXfin or RetroArch for my speedruns, and Bizhawk for TAS.
As long as you're not cheating, you can use any emulator you want.

I can help with Italian and Brazilian Portuguese, I'm a native speaker of both,

Hello there, I would like to become a mod in a game called "Xenophobe" for the NES.
I submitted two speedruns on November 4th, but the mod never accepted/rejected 'em,
He's been inactive for 4 months so far, so I decided to send him a PM on Twitter, but his last tweet was made in mid-september, so I suppose he's inactive on Twitter as well.

Here's the game link: https://www.speedrun.com/Xenophobe

Hello there, I have a doubt about the "Expert%" category.
It says "play on expert", right?
Now when you say "Expert" you mean the expert controls of the plane or the Hard difficulty?
I know it is a stupid question, but I don't understand.

Dear slimehunter,
I submitted my two speedruns almost a month ago, but they haven't been checked yet.
Are you still active in this site?

Hi there, I'm the new moderator, as imduckdamnyou has been inactive for 4 months.
You're able to submit you runs and have them verified in a reasonable time.
If you have any questions or problems, feel free to contact me on social media.

Hello everybody, I would like to become a moderator for Disney's The Little Mermaid 2, as I submitted a run in mid-September and the moderator has been inactive for 4 months so far.
I even left a message in the game's forum almost 20 days ago, but to no avail.
