It slows down how fast the game runs but you can turn down graphics. As long as you don't run out of disk space, you should be fine

Guys, I might of discovered something that will revolutionize this topic. See, the game has a built-in record feature... The recording only contains 1 frame of loading screen... The loading gets ignored essentially. To get the IGT, we could simply start the in-game recorder when pressing the story mode, and overlay a normal timer. The downside is that you use a game's built in thing which locks it down to 30 FPS. I might try fiddling with the source to unlock the framerate, still, a thing to concider.

Sorry for disapointing, I have managed to reproduce the wrong warp on the ramp, apparently the game has a checkpoint somewhere beetwen the shed I landed on and the ramp, meaning that this skip will not work. Basically, the lap doesn't complete and to verify the checkpoint we would most likely loose time and not have any gain from it. Same with the far jump one, there is a checkpoint somewhere. Still, what I have discovered in this video might add a few oppurtunities somewhere else where there are random rocks or meshes we can far jump off :-)

I mean, clicking with a mouse isn't particularly difficult... But for the map, we could reuse some of the games code to have the timer on the map as well?

I am currently trying all possible angles in the artist debug mode to identify the ideal circumstance and so far I have been able only to reproduce the wrong warp glitch, no success on the far jump as of now.

We could add up endlevel times displayed by the game? That would be more involving but I could develop a web tool to speed the process up

I belive he meant how are we going to Count the time In-game. Some mod to add an ever counting up timer? External app?

So recently I was playing the Cornfield Crossing level casually on supertux mode, practicing for a run I will eventually release of it and while practicing I stumbled upon a few interesting glitches. If we find a reliable way to abuse those glitches, we might have a substantial time cut and a sub 1:30 cornfield crossing run possible. Anyway, if you are interested in seeing the skips, watch this video: Sorry for the audio quality, my OBS doesn't feel like working properly recently...

I have quite a good run of Oliver's Math Class recorded as a ghost replay (Didn't have OBS enabled at the time). Am I allowed to record the game replaying the ghost in replay-only mode and submitting it as a speedrun or should i re-attempt the run in normal mode?

Whatever may be the case, I am recording a run on android with a keyboard on an OTG cable as a controller and will be ready to submit it once all changes to the categories have been made.

https://github.com/supertuxkart/stk-code/issues/3109 This github issue contains information that this is intended as a feature because the android release lacks some courses. Screenshot of a comment containing the information: (Wow, speedrun.com embeds images from my host, nice) What I think we should do is create an android category for the game which would allow us to use this mechanic or to split Any% into Glitchless and Android

Okay, thanks for clearing that up. I will make sure to ask around on STK forums and try opening a github issue.

The thing is, it persists. I started a new file on the recording and its still there. I reinstalled the game, still there. If that's not enough to confirm legitimacy, oh well. Might as well run any% normally on a computer :)

I am currently recording my run of it and if it turns out to be an allowed strat, I will post it here.

I have just found something strange about the android release of the game which could essentially let me beat it in under 5 minutes. Basically, the gate is open from the beginning and all levels are unlocked. Would this be accepted as an any%? I have the game unmodified and acquired from the play store, only part from me is an OTG adapter and a keyboard. Any ideas?
