This is a VERY useful glitch that I just found today. With characters that groundpound (XLR8 and Cannonbolt) you are able to do this glitch, which lets you skip potentially MANY fights. This is also a very quick way of moving around. To do it, you need to groundpound immediately after jumping. Do this on a ledge.
Here is an EXAMPLE of skips possible. (I have not routed this in yet, but it could be HUGE)

So I could be wrong, but I think the only time when the language matters (and it might not even matter here) is when all of the characters are saying their lines after winning/losing the board, it might be different lengths depending on the language. You can change between English, Spanish, and Portuguese, so one of those might be faster than the others, I haven't tested yet myself. It might also matter in the board game part itself when the character cheers when landing on a space? If so I'm pretty sure there would be a bit of a difference.

we can also tweak the rules if need be, like if it'd be better to require a new file or something feel free to let me know your opinion, especially if you run the category.

Also thank you for clarifying about that, I am honestly not amazing at this game aha

Alright so I made a category for both, but yeah it would be totally awesome to know how you unlock the wizard goals, do you just beat the basic goals first or something?

Ah yes it appears that there are wizard goals as well... well we could make a category for just standard and also all goals, sorry to ask since i'm not familiar, but how do you unlock the wizard goals? Or where can you find them listed? I don't know the difference between the ones that are shown to you right away and the wizard goals, if there are any

I have only played the Wii version, in which if you open up the menu it has a list of "table goals" I will update the category name to all table goals cause that might fit better. Either way, is there more goals on the version you play? I'm mostly confused about the wizard table goals, are there goals you can unlock later as well or something? If there are more goals on other versions I can definitely clarify in the rules that it needs to be all goals including extras

Here are the rules:

Mario Party 4 Story Mode (Normal)
Mario Party 5 Story Mode (Normal)
Mario Party 6 Solo, All Boards (CF, No mic)
Mario Party 7 Solo Cruise All Boards

Timing starts when you select "Yes" to confirm settings in Mario Party 4 and ends and ends when the "<Character Name> Won!" text is displayed on the final board in Mario Party 7.

All rules for each game apply.

You may use any character.

The rules of each of those games are on their respective speedrun.com pages, so

https:/​/​www.​speedrun.​com/​marioparty6
https:/​/​www.​speedrun.​com/​marioparty7

You are also required to win for the individual board runs yes

Yes you must win all boards for your run to count for all boards. If you want to run true any% there is a category extension category for that, but keep in mind that true any% is faster with 4 players anyway, so I'd recommend just running all boards lol

There is no Wii U version for Mario Party 3, are you talking about Mario Party 2?

I found this glitch randomly while walking or jumping next to a checkpoint (not sure if I walked or jumped into it.) but basically it boosted me fairly high in the air. Still not high enough to clip out, but overall it seems like there aren't a ton of uses for any clips if we found any. Hard to say though.

I can post it for you no worries I retimed it to a 32.36 from timing starting when you press play
I'll also make subcategories for each difficulty

Story mode can be on any difficulty you want.

No worries KJR, only problem I ever had with the runs was that it was not labelled as an emulator run and accepted as a console run even though the load times where clearly faster than any other console time, including xbox lol. not sure why they weren't labelled as emulator in the first place. I don't think any of us were necessarily thinking you did anything wrong on purpose

oh got you, that makes sense! Yeah I'll make sure to add a dodgeball category when you do a run. Not sure if there are settings you can change in the game like difficulty and stuff, but if you happen to know and would be able to list those that would be super helpful. If there is like easy and hard difficulties for example, I could make different categories for the difficulties. But yeah I look forward to the runs my dude

Sure thing, if you do a run of dodgeball on DS I'd be happy to add it! That is sadly the only mini-game that seems to not be timed in the DS version so that would probably be the only game we would add for the DS version. If you wanted to do a run of the single player mode (like a full run of the whole game) feel free to do that if you want to as well.

When/if you do a run, feel free to link it here and I'll add it for you.

well there is definitely faster loads in KJR's runs compared to my runs, and I run on Wii

I sent a link on twitter cause I was not able to message you on discord directly, I linked my Pika Cup R1 run I did. (I did this a while ago) I also have done a challenge cup pokeball r1 run as well, although I didn't link it

ILs would definitely be a better idea, in my opinion. I also would say that challenge cup would be kind of a meme to put into stadium 2, so I personally wouldn't add those, but i'm not a mod and don't have a huge opposition.
