I've made comparisons between when the WRs and I started Star-Crossed Skyway, Rocket Road, and Kamek's Carpet Ride. These definitely aren't perfect, but I think they are close enough.
(Apparently no more than 1 video can appear on a forum post, so here's a YouTube playlist with all 3 comparisons https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqaqMgwYA8whsNw-tyBaikn6fiLeuF0uB&si=m3gZg8Hw4r5bL4Vm)
There might also be differences between Physical and Digital, when looking at a Quo vs Goku comparison in Rocket Road. I'm not sure which version Goku used though, so it's hard to say for sure. The difference between my submitted runs seems comparable to the potential version differences. Both have a difference within a second, which compared to the roughly half minute improvements on each WR (FWR for Rocket Road) is very marginal.
I understand if these 3 runs must be rejected, and would take knowing that over them continuing to sit in Pending limbo. At the very least though, can my Bowser's Peculiar Peak run be looked at again? That run started the same way as the current WR. Both start by pressing "Start Game" (which is not the "Play" selection mentioned in the rules).
Hello. Today marks one year since I submitted 4 IL times, and I wanted to reach out to see if we could get these verified. Thanks!
The current rules for Any% No Level Skips has the time end "on touching the Pole after the Final Boss". This is almost 1 second before than the current KEY end time "when tank Kirby goes fully through the yarn stick after the final Yin-Yarn fight". I also don't believe the end time rules of this game are what is actually used for retimes.
There is currently no video requirement. In my opinion video should at the very least be required for the world records of each category, if not for every run submitted to the leaderboard (every current run submitted already has a video).
IGT does not have much use in comparing runs, as it is influenced by whether or not a player watches the credits (after the RTA run is over). Due to this, and since no runs currently submitted have only IGT submitted, I am in favor of removing IGT off the leaderboard completely.
Looks like that one is also expired. There should be settings on discord to have the links last forever and to have infinite invites.
I already sent a forum post in the series page but I suppose I'll make it here as well since this is the game I want to run.
The link to the speedrunning discord on every single M&S Olympic game is expired, can someone send a new one please?
Best place I would say right now is in the Merki.net Discord. While they have retired from producing and selling capture cards they may allow for repairs depending on who made it and what model 3ds you have. Note that the company is based in Germany, so shipping instructions will be very important. https://discord.gg/uM5Bw9UP5x
