I have played it a lot when I was younger (PC version though since I haven't owned a N64). Fun and solid game sometimes a bit frustrating when Buzz didn't want to grab a ledge FailFish

Also I checked the leaderboard for the game (N64 any%) and I have noticed that every runner is playing on emulator, is console banned from the leaderboard or is there a specific reason why no one wants to try running it on real hardware?

Because the clips are less consistent on console.

I played this game when I was young on PC. Good game to speedrun I think.
