I've been thinking about running this game for a while now, since I like it so much, and I've seen a couple of runs of the game. What I'm wondering is if there's still a community of people running the game frequently? Finding new glitches and routes that save time, anything. Because, while the most recent run I've seen was from 2 months back, I want to know if there's any reason to even try to run it now. Was the best possible run that could have been attained, well, attained already? is there even going to be people to talk with and share methods and notes with? People to attempt to get better than? Is anyone still running this game, or is the community for running this game gone and found better games to run, and left this one to the dust, pun not intended.

Oh really? If you could send me the link for that leaderboard, that'd be great! I've been running the game for a year or two., but never really liked the idea of using a glitch to beat it, so I've always ran all my runs without using CCG. The only reasons why I haven't posted a run to the speedrun.com leaderboards is because I haven't come anywhere close to a fast enough route, in my honest opinion. The other reason is purely because I run the GCN verson and I don't have the devices needed to actually record my run.

Wait, there's a one fight maze route? Since when was this?

I would actually enjoy running a "No CCG" Neutral Story. Gives more complexity to the run rather than "Build Hero Meter, Perform easy glitch, Beat level, Repeat until Egg Dealer, Pray for RNG to be on your side."

It would also make the run way more interesting to see the differences in routes between the runners. And it would definitely bring more runners into the game who aren't keen on the idea of using a glitch to beat a level really fast, but using actual skill and knowledge of the level to do so.
