Timing begins when pressing start on Round 1 before any of the blocks have appeared. Precise timing starts when "Press Start" disappears from the Round 1 screen. Frame 0 is the last frame that Press Start is visible. Frame 1 is the first frame after Press Start is no longer visible.

Timing ends the frame that "Round Clear" appears on the final round of the category.

The category rules have been updated. If your run was incorrectly timed, feel free to reply to this or send me a message.

Yeah agree with your summary above. Sounds good to me! Thanks for making it a lot easier to time lol

I'll gladly help re-time runs. Just give the go-ahead.

Yeah Rantron has been MIA for a while. I believe he's been removed from a lot of other boards.

Current rules state: Win a game of one on one against the computer. Can choose any character. Timer starts when selection possession type. Timer stops AFTER victory music.

This is nearly impossible to tell when frame counting. Proposal to change the timing rules to the following:

Start - first frame that the court/basket fully appear after pressing selecting possession type. End - First frame that "your player" won appears after winning the game.

Also, should put milliseconds in this game.

Thanks!

Eh, I don't agree with your reasoning. There are hundreds, if not thousands, of score-related categories on SRC. I also didn't want or request a separate extensions leaderboard.

I only posted because the original request was denied and the thread was locked immediately, which I found to be in poor form on xenka's part. The post has been edited from its original state, the contents of which I found insulting.

I thought that bringing 70+ people to a game that has been basically dead for over a year would be welcomed.

Anyway, keep up the good work!

Big 20 was announced yesterday and 50,000 points is the goal. This is a high score category, and is consistent with a lot of shmup NES games similar to Life Force.

I saw that this category was requested, denied, and the thread locked immediately (lol) without welcoming any input from anyone else. I thought that this category would bring some life to a board that has had 5 total submissions in over 18 months.

If anything, it'd probably get people to run the main, full-game categories. Thanks for consideration.

This is peak gameplay

Using Thought Peek on an enemy gives the green check next to the name.

A couple things:

• You aren't able to use Thought Peek on enemies before getting Mallow (Terrapins, Bowser, Chaindelier, Hammer Bro)
• You wouldn't be able to use Thought Peek on both Bad/Mad Adder. In my file where I've completed the game, I have the green check by Mad Adder, but not by Bad Adder.
• Once you beat the game, you unlock every enemy's name in the list. You just don't get the green check.

Having said all that, what's the winning condition? Showing the Monster List with all checkmarks? It appears to be unobtainable as originally described.

Is this even possible? For example, you can't fight both Mad Adder and Bad Adder in one run. It would need to be proven out that you can even do this before creating a category.

I do like the idea though.

It appears that way. You can reach out in the discord for information on these routes.

Late to the party.

+1 on skipping cape rooms in All Exits - even though it's already been decided. You get to play them in any%!

Turbo will not help you

Yes.

Hello SMRPG enthusiasts:

Welcome to the new leaderboard for Super Mario RPG - Switch version. The current plan is to put a moratorium on accepting and validating speedruns for the leaderboard until at least December 1st, 2023. The reason for this is to allow leadership and community members to explore the game and be able to establish thought out guidelines for the speedrun and its categories.

Please join the SMRPG Discord for discussion regarding the game and the speedrun!

hah thanks, maybe someday :) Something is going to have to force my hand to play this again

Check out the TDO Glitchless category on the extensions leaderboard: https://www.speedrun.com/zelda1ce

Do you still want this Fred?

Where's B-Type category

Thanks for your hard work!

Hah, well it definitely fits the rules description currently on the category. I just wanted to submit the run to make sure the rules reflected that you had to push start to watch the cartoon in full. If milliseconds aren't part of the time (i'm not sure why they aren't) then it doesn't really matter
