its possible for some categories to be created to be able to submit a run?

thanks in advance.

That's a good point. Looks like runs can't even be submitted. We at least need an Any%

Need to have rules for when it starts and ends.

Two possible approaches:

1. Timing based on gaining & losing control: Starting could be the first blackout frame after entering your file name. Then ending on the first blackout frame of the final dialogue (after Joanna says "I'll be ready!").

2. Timing based on the first & last "meaningful" inputs: Starting on the first frame you gain character control, and end ending on the first blackout frame after defeating the helicopter in the final battle.

Personally, I like approach 1, but approach 2 is perfectly fine.

embarrassing mods, yikes

Eh, maybe they just haven't signed in. Maybe @Speedruntrainer can help get a category up :)

How dare we have lives. Yikes. Sadly I don't have any marbles in the basket of GBC PD but I will use the rules post above to make an any% category. Rules #2 that Vela posted sounds best too me.

Also Vela would you like to moderate this game? I ask assuming you do know how this game operates.

Sure, I can moderate @endeavorgaming Thanks for checking and adding the Any% category. Feel free to add me as a mod.

Alright, you have been added. Feel free to submit runs, and verify runs submitted for this game. If you want more categories I will trust you to mention here the best rules and timings for them and I shall add them to a certain point.

After a closer review, I've updated the timing to what makes most sense for this game. I also added general information about GBC speedruns. I hope that's alright!

A lot of emulators and equipment don't run this game (or other GBC games) properly, so I included the details about that.

I hope the community will agree with me on these. I've worked on a good amount of leaderboards, so I think what I've got is consistent with the expectations in the GBC communities :)

You can reference Zelda: Link's Awakening DX for similar details.

Muscovite it was made so people can run it. I don't have the game but mod for the series with Endeavor. Whoever does and can come up with rules okay. Also you have to realize I work and have a life and dealt with personal issues.
