UPDATE: Thank you to those who took the time and submitted a response to the form, your input is appreciated immensely. 71% of the people who voted were in favour of removing the RTA column from the leaderboards.

Hey folks!

A proposal to remove the RTA column from the SMB2J leaderboard was brought up internally and we would like your input as to whether or not the mod team should follow through with this idea.

Historically we have used the RTA column to document times with loads for affected FDS categories, however we have noticed over the years that this has lead to confusion especially with SNES categories as those (typically) do not require load times to be removed, resulting in runners filling out the time in either the RTA column or both LRT and RTA.

Following the results of this form, research into load times for each approved platform will be reviewed and updated on the existing SRC guides page and new resources will be created to help runners with removing load times when doing their initial retime of the run.

Please do not send a response if you do not have a verified SMB2J submission on the leaderboards.

The form will stop accepting responses on July 21, 2026.
