Getting 100 points on a flagpole isn't really worth being a category. I think the mods would appreciate something sort of on the lines as something long. Like "Both Quests". All pipe jumps (and has been said before about other categories), is just a trick that is done in any%. So those 2 categories will probably be rejected by a mod.
Maybe you guys should dm each other on discord or something because talking about whatever this (^) is doesn't belong in a category request thread.
The original gets more attention and competition probably because the original (mainly Japanese) verison is the most popular and liked the most. idrk (I don't really know)
If you don't have a time quicker than 5:10, then I really wouldn't recommend trying tricks like that yet. Look at some easier methods of a getting faster time. Because basically all 1-2 tricks shown in most low 5 minute runs are simply difficult.
@PiotrGrochowski I love your mine videos.
Just follow State Farm's motto. Be here to help life go right.
If quick enough you can get 381 down the pipe. I get it pretty consistently.
If I recall in Bismuth's new 4:55 video the tas that follows all the rules correctly is 4:54.2. But even if 4:54 is achieved, 4:54.2 wouldn't be done for a while afterwards.
As of now, 4:54.8 (or .9 don't remember). But that could wait a long time since 4:55 was just achieved not that long ago (September 24, 2018). But I think the TAS @supermatto64 posted was the one (according to @Bismuth), has a 8-4 24 frames better than the best ever 8-4 preformed in practice (0:44.?). And 4:54 is very, very hard to do at the moment for any person.
It should. On NES they use the everdrive.
