Hi everyone,

Deltarune Chapter 5 will release in 1 hour!!!

The leaderboard will undergo a temporary embargo, and the Discord server will temporarily be spoiler contained. More details on the Discord server has been posted on the most recent announcement.

Please do not submit runs to the leaderboard during this time.

Thank you all. Let's have one more fun adventure, shall we? :)

Hi everyone,

Last week, a poll was posted on the Deltarune speedrunning discord server regarding the future of CH1-4 runs, and any future obsolete All Chapters categories. Thank you to everyone who responded.

The results have since been analysed. Whilst it was clear for where the categories would go for each option, it was very close between whether the categories would simply be relocated, or if the categories would move to a spreadsheet. As such, the results were filtered by those who have speedran the game, and further for those who have ran CH1-4 All Chapters.

A summary of the Category Relocation vs Spreadsheet results are below:

Everyone (76 responses)

• Category Relocation: 46.1%

• Spreadsheet: 53.9%

Deltarune Runners (62)

• Category Relocation: 37.1%

• Spreadsheet: 62.9%

All Chapters Runners (30)

• Category Relocation: 33.3%

• Spreadsheet: 66.7%

Whilst the results are very close across all responders, Deltarune speedrunners were much more likely to vote for Spreadsheet over Category Relocation. Not much difference was found between Deltarune Runners and All Chapters Runners.

As such, all Chapters 1-4 categories, including Category Extensions and all future obsolete categories, will be moved to a spreadsheet. This spreadsheet will be viewable via a pinned forum post on speedrun.com.

In addition to these categories, we successfully archived all past non-April Fools categories, including CH1+2 (Main and CE) and CH1 (True Pacifist True Reset, and Jevil True Reset). As such, these will also be added to the spreadsheet to preserve some of the games past history. This was not talked about in the poll as it was not thought of until after the poll was posted.

The spreadsheet is planned to be released alongside the upcoming leaderboard embargo ending, but it may take longer. Please be patient with us during this time.

There will be deadline for when you can submit CH1-4 runs. YOU MUST SUBMIT ALL CH1-4 RUNS BY WEDNESDAY 2PM UTC! RUNS SUBMITTED AFTER THE LEADERBOARD EMBARGO BEGINS WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED!

• Special exceptions can be made for technical difficulties refraining runs from being submitted on time.

Thank you everyone, And I hope you all have a good time playing Chapter 5! 🌻

A poll was conducted on the Deltarune Speedrunning Discord server, and it has been decided that a 30TBPS mod will SOON be allowed in all categories, including Category Extensions.

What the 30TBPS Mod Does

The 30TBPS mod simply buffs the Wrist Protector to mash at 30TBPS instead of 15TBPS. We considered adding some QoL changes (e.g. faster resets), however we decided against it for now as this was not asked in the original poll.

• This may change in the future, feel free to discuss this in the Discord server

Allowed Releases/Versions:

PC/Mac/Linux:

• Survey_Program
• CH1+2 Demo (1.09, 1.10, 1.15, 1.19)
• Full Release (1.02, 1.04, 1.05)
  • If the WP in future chapters acts the same as it does in CH2-4, a 30TBPS WP mod will be made and allowed as soon as possible

Switch:

• Survey_Program (1.00) - For OG CH1+2 Demo (not on eshop anymore)
• New CH1+2 Demo (1.06 - 1.10 PC equivalent)
• Full Release (1.00, 1.04)
• You can also import PC data.wins (e.g. 1.09). These are still submitted under Switch on the leaderboard

Embargo,

Due to the mod's importance and the risk of it having faults, there'll be a short leaderboard embargo for runs using the 30TBPS mod. This'll allow the community to sufficiently test the mod prior to runs being verified.

• This embargo will last until Friday, 3 October 2025 at 12pm EST
  • You can still submit non-30TBPS runs during the embargo

Downloading the Mod

The mod and installation instructions can be found under "Resources" on the Deltarune leaderboards. If there are any issues with the mod, please ping @NERS (as well as @Tadyman for Switch-related issues) on the Deltarune Speedrunning Discord server.

On behalf of the community, I would like to thank @NERS for making the mod. I would also like to thank NERS personally for taking the extra time to get it to work on the Switch version :) Thank you everyone who responded to the poll. Keep going fast, and let's raise our non-mashing hands to make our Cinemas Absolute

Hello Runners!

Today is the day. DELTARUNE™️ Chapter 3 and 4 are finally releasing!

For the occasion, let's talk a bit about the leaderboard, shall we?

We are going to do an embargo while we are going to think about how to structure it. In the meantime, we are going to lock all the current categories, and have a new one named « LEADERBOARD EMBARGO ». Please refrain from submitting your runs until further notice. If you do so, your run will be considered rejected. The duration of the embargo is set to a week, but we reserve the right to change the duration of this if we feel that we need more reflection.

In the meantime, the moderation team wishes you a good discovery of the game and have fun!
