Charlotte, NC, USAIf you want to join the tournament you can join the Discord via the link on the game page, so there's no need to miss out if you don't want to.
While most people probably already saw this, I thought it may be important for the few who didn't. Imgur is now deleting all posts not tied to an account, so if some of your runs use it then you may want to ensure they are safe. This is the best way: https://www.speedrun.com/news/906-2023-4-25-imgur-is-deleting-all-old-content-not-tied-to-an-account-find-out-if-this-affects-you.
There is no escape from CoKoNut, even if you try to click a different link.
Hopefully this one was ok, as I'm writing it late at night. I'll probably polish it up some more tomorrow.
Pamatata: A runner active during most of 2021, Pamatata ran about as much of Moto X3M as anyone. In full game runs he has the rare distinction of having held the no skips record at one point on every major Moto X3M Game; OG , Pool Party, Winter, and Spookyland (Poki edition). This includes the first sub 12 minute run on winter, and the first sub 14 minute run on OG. In terms of level runs, he primarily ran poki, having submitted a run on every level of each game as of 2021, but also ran a lot of CMG and some mobile. While most of his runs have been beaten, many are still either wr or top three overall. He also served as a mod for Moto X3M during 2021, and helped a lot in organizing and expanding the community and game categories. In short, Pamatata was a jack of all trades type runner, someone who dabbled in pretty much everything, and was great in many aspects. He deserves a lot of credit.
I boosted when going on top of the spinny thing near the beginning. It launched me in a way that gave me enough speed so I could clear the first jump on the ramp. There's a tutorial video on my Youtube channel.
UnsaidPanda6296: A runner active mainly from 2018-2021, UnsaidPanda is probably the most influential player in the game's history. Panda primarily played on Miniclip and CMG, getting a perfect 25/25 at one point in the latter, but also has gotten a handful of records on other categories. His ability to continue to optimise the boosting strategy, as well as the Miniclip timer glitch, led to him getting so many records. Panda also uploaded many of his runs to his Youtube channel, Panda Playz, and some of them have racked up thousands of views. This allowed a much larger audience to discover the speedrunning community, and continues to help as level tutorials. Although he isn't really that active anymore, in April of 2022 he managed to beat his own Level 12 CMG time, a record that had stood for over a year. While the time ended up being beaten not long after, it showed that he is still a very talented player.
