I don't feel the current 3:38 WR by Katz should be considered valid as a speedrun attempt for the sole reason that it uses glitches that are not present in SMM.
As stated in the video description: "You have to download a modded level, for example from Psycrow."
The glitch involves using a hacked level that was created with outside tools and memory modding to glitch the game into not saving level clears and therefore reducing loading times. However, not everyone has access to said modded levels and therefore this is not exactly fair.
Because this is not something native to Super Mario Maker and instead uses mods (even if the run without the hack itself still could have beaten the previous one) it should be disqualified.
I use Hauppauge HD PVR 2 (Gaming Edition) It cost me $39 on eBay, supports HDMI and up to 1080p.
Why not just buy a Wii U like everyone else? Not everything is free.
It's just one level. You can already find the WR on the level itself, I don't think it's needed. If anything, we need to update the "All Event Courses" category.
Super Warp World is no more official than any other SMM fan game. It we're going to add one, then there at least needs to be a qualification system to adding others. Like what about the game the Facebook community made? It was a long, drawn-out 4-5 month deal. It has a 8 main worlds and a special world as well. I would love to speedrun it and have it be official.
There's even been a few really well done games from the Reddit community that seem pretty large scale.
