Emulator has been allowed for full-game runs, and the leaderboards have been split between Console and Emulator to accommodate this. This has been done after a vote in the Discord server, in which every voter indicated that they support Emulator being allowed.

The specifics of how it will be implemented are not entirely clear yet. A basic set of requirements for Emulator runs has been made, but these are definitely subject to change in the future, when the leaderboards fill up a bit more.

It is also not currently clear if this split should apply to every leaderboard for this game or not. Most voters indicated that they didn't want level leaderboards to be split, but this could be done exclusively for levels that use Death Abuse (due the advantage Emulator provides when the timer restarts). Individual world leaderboards were not included in the vote, but will probably be split soon as they are timed with real time.

It may have taken us a bit longer to make a decision on Emulator runs, compared to other Wii communities, however we hope that this will now allow for more people to get into DKCR.

Mirror Mode now has its own leaderboard as a full-game category. This consists of completing every level in Mirror Mode (essentially the second half of a 200% run). This can be compared to the existence of Green Stars as a category in SMG2. This will hopefully serve to create more interest in 200% in the future!
