Thanks, it's glitched on my droid, though:^(

Out of curiosity, are there frequently more games added? I understand games come out all the time, but speedrunning is still a niche.

It's a pretty amazing game, but I agree it is much more punishing than the original, and also agree that that's a negative for it. The other modes it contains are definitely deserving of runs, though. Challenge mode is very interesting in a routing sense, You vs. Boo is great for ILs, and the general challenge of unlocking stuff in the Album are so enticing.

But ultimately, your statement that this is the reason there are next to no runs is probably accurate. It's a big turn-off if you're expecting Mario 1 or 2J.
