I'm glad to announce that all IL leaderboards have now been converted to IGT timing! A few things to note regarding this change: -All IL submissions now require video (please make sure that the in-game timer is readable). Screenshots will not be accepted. -When submitting, subtract the flagpole time from the initial time on the clock to get your final time (ex: 1-1 starts at 500, so a 454 would equate to 46s). -Please still start your videos from the world map (loading times are the most reliable method we have to distinguish between console and emulator). -IW leaderboards are unaffected by this change.
9-1 any% sounds like a cool idea, I'm down. As for 9-1 cannonless, that's kind of getting into what I would consider to be too arbitrary, so that probably won't be added unless it really catches on.
As was stated above, streaming through a phone/tablet is the cheapest option. If you're looking for a cheap and decent quality capture card, the GV-USB2 is a good choice also.
Emulation of games from the gamecube era and onwards is much less accurate and reliable than that of older console generations. For NSMBW specifically, loads don't match up with console versions, and the nature of emulators being able to modify aspects of the game (changing framerate, etc) and run input recordings is something we dislike as a community. You will find that many popular games from more modern consoles ban emulators as well, likely due to similar reasons. While I agree that more available platforms for speedrunning is generally a positive, the situation with emulation for NSMBW specifically makes banning emulators such as dolphin the best option for now. :)
Just like with any request, nothing will added until a run is done
if you resubmit the run from your account, I'll verify it and reject the old one :)
Resetting the console is fine. Also the fastest way to reset is actually to press the button on the console OpieOP
If you do a full run, post it here and it will be added :)
It goes in as a tie on the leaderboard. Unfortunately there is no way to enable milliseconds for individual levels only, and we would like the main category leaderboards to only show seconds.
world records require video footage, and must be done in a single rta segment. I don't really have any advice for recording such a run... good luck :P
nothing will be added to this leaderboard until a run is actually completed. As for the main board, maybe if it picks up popularity...
Unless it picks up popularity, this won't be added to the main leaderboard. However if you do a run, I would gladly add the category to our extensions leaderboard ( http://speedrun.com/nsmbwmemes ). :)
That TAS doesn't aim to complete the game without powerups, just to get the lowest score possible.
Actually, you can avoid the coins after the start of 1-2 as small mario. All it takes is an air stall right after coming out of the pipe. (Credit for video goes to DyllonStej)
