9 days. 9 games. 9 balls. After a popular series-wide LTA earlier this year, the Wii Series Speedrunning community are back with Wii Play BREAK the Record! Runners will compete in 6 categories with over $450 on the line!

Wii Play BREAK the Record

This LTA takes place from 6pm ET Friday 12th September to 5:59pm ET Sunday 21st September 2025.

The best time of the event, an Event Record (ER), will be rewarded with a cash prize, with a boosted prize if that’s a new World Record (WR). A huge $175 is allocated to the sub 9:40 WR time in All Games if one runner has the determination (and luck) required to achieve the feat. Records can change hands right up until the end of the final day.

Hello Wii Players!

We have never made a news post before but this is a pretty big announcement. With some guidance from @kiwi_, I've finally created a substantial practice mod for Tanks - as in, a fully functional mission selector that allows you to jump to any mission within the game itself. Everything is explained on the website:

This is also linked under the Resources tab. Outside of Dolphin savestates, it has never really been possible at all before to pick a mission and repeatedly practice it, so this should hopefully make the Tanks learning curve a little more approachable and maybe even lead to new discoveries about the game. Have fun!
