Small forum post just to say that me and iostpa have done some digging and found 3 runs that are faster than boxies' original 8:47 and were performed earlier than it (even before this leaderboard was even created), making them the WR for the time they were performed (for reference, boxies' first run was performed on July 4th 2023).

The runs we added are:

8:39.150 by Neekoft performed on June 26th 2023 https://www.speedrun.com/a_stereotypical_obby/runs/m3vorx6z

8:38.100 by szzixic performed on July 1st 2023 https://www.speedrun.com/a_stereotypical_obby/runs/z003rljz

8:35.433 by szzixic performed on July 2nd 2023 https://www.speedrun.com/a_stereotypical_obby/runs/zg67gq0m

If you find a run that was performed earlier than these or that should have been WR for the time they were achieved, feel free to DM me
