There's technically a previous version of Reader Rabbit Preschool called Let's Start Learning and I was wondering if that game would have it's own separate leaderboard here or if it counts as a separate game entirely.

The gameplay is roughly the same to the Carousel version, but there are some differences such as the Shape Shack animations and the credits scene. I tried to contact the mod directly about this years ago but I never got a response.

no problem

Unfortunately, I can only say that you'll probably have to purchase the game from either Big Fish Games or get a copy from eBay or Amazon. These options require you to pay money, so I don't know if you're willing to go for either option, but I doubt there's someone willing to give you the game for free.

There are currently two runs I've noticed where the video evidence of their existence has been erased from YouTube, besides the runs performed by the previous mod.

The first one is from 6 years ago and was a All 3 Worlds Round 1 run done by @phoronid. No reason was given for why it was removed.

The second one is from almost 2 years ago and was a Space World 1st Time run done by @Broosc. The video was too long and I guess their account wasn't verified.

Has anyone ever seen either of these runs? I want to verify them, but their runs are currently lost media. I have already contacted both users about this and am awaiting a response from them, but they both have not been online for a long time.

Since I'm now moderator, this has been done. lol

I noticed that the new WR for the All 3 Worlds Round 1 uses the Big Fish Games version and they could disable narration in some menu. Looking at the run compared to the other CD runs, this looks like somewhat of an unfair time save considering there's no menu like this in the CD version, so you have to let them say what object you click on every time. Based on this, I think we should separate the two versions into different subcategories.

This probably also applies to other I Spy titles with a Big Fish Games version as well (i.e. Spooky Mansion Deluxe, Mystery, Treasure Hunt, and Fun House (although the latter two aren't available anymore on Big Fish)), but I haven't speedran any of them nor have I compared already existing runs of each version.
