Folks, I thought all was lost for our little corner of speedrun.com, but I found a way to keep this project going! Check out my patch entry for more details, and let me know if you have any questions.
It looks like the servers are going down as of April of 2024.
Anyone interested in a Ocarina of Time Speedrun where you have to collect all three one ups in each level in addition to completeing the 29 levels?
Thank you! They were a two year work of love, and thank you for racing it!
There is certainly room for improvement. There's a pretty good skip in water temple you're missing in your strat that you can see in toasts run, for example. Spread the word for this category, we need more racers!
Thanks Sol! And holy crap, congrats on getting the record. Kill, I very much apologize for missing this. Sol has it right. How did you both find this obscure category? I'm so happy to have you!
We have our answer!

If people could start porting over their times in super warp world, we will get get it up and running. Any mods for SMM who'd like to come on to SMMLP let us know!
We will need to figure out the process for adding other Level Packs. Looking for input on what should qualify as a level pack and existting level packs that should be in this category.
Hey Poo,
Thanks for your response and clarity. I agree. That is essentially what I suggested, but speedrun.com needs one of the Mario Maker Moderators to create it for them to accept it, and I think it would be an elegant system for it. Essentially, anything to keep the pressure off the moderators here, and benefits the Mario Maker community I am for. If one of the moderators could submit for the new board, and we could perhaps get the ball rolling from there. I would love to help in any way that I can as well.
Vallu, what are your thoughts now that its been two months?
Yeah one level has the wr on the actual level. Dont think it needs to be repeated.
Vallu, its been a month since this topic was posted and I wanted to see what your thoughts are in this conversation. The original idea you had for making a new "game" for all level packs is an option, it just would need to be requested to speedrun.com by a current moderator of Super Mario Maker for it to be considered.
If that is not a desired route I was curious on your opinion on my qualification system I suggested. What qualifications did you use to have Super Warp World, for instance?
Poo, I understand the issues with accepting every level pack as a speed run category and honestly thats why I am here to try and help figure out what qualifications a pack would need to become a category.
My Ocarina of Time remake level pack was a concept i started work on even prior to the release of Mario Maker and worked on for 2 years. Ive had the goal of submitting it to speedrun.com in the mario maker boards for about a year, and started the process after identifying there was a desire for it to go up by the players. My level pack is a total of 29 levels for any%, and a 30th level for 100% which is a boss guantlet of the games boss remakes encountered throughout the game. I know you guys worked hard to make Super Warp World what it is and I certainly respect that it is in here, and I think that it qualifies to be in. I just ask for the same consideration.
That being said, to qualify I propose that every map pack made must have at least one person willing to curate the game as a mod for that pack, to keep the strain off of those curating the original game material. I also propose that there is at least 3 people who have runs of the game to submit. That's similar to what speedrun.com needs for a unique game. Other qualifiers or modifications to mine, input welcome, as i'm sure there are some.
Additionally my response to my request from speedrun.com came back with if a mod from Super Mario Maker were to request a separate map pack category, they would be more inclined to add it. So there's that to consider as well.
Alright my request got rejected by speedrun. Here is what they said - "Your request was rejected. If Mario Maker Mods want to request this they can. We dont really want separate boards for all sorts of levels within the game". So what is the next step? Also, I am interested in modding for specifically this Level Pack until it gets sorted out.
so i guess we can see if speedrun.com accepts my submission of a new game, and if not i think that means we will have to go with adding full games here. i guess there could be criteria it would have to meet if it gets added to super mario maker.
i requested a new game to speedrun.com called super mario maker and then the title. not sure that format would be the correct version. i think honestly it would be easier to find if everything was here, but i also understand the concept - it literally makes unlimited games to curate. ultimately, so long as there was a person added on to curate the game as a mod, it might be okay, since that would virtually be what happened when a new game was added.
ultimately, for my game i'd be willing to curate runs of it personally.
super warp world got added so its possible just need a mods help to do so.
I have a game I made in super mario maker which is a remake of ocarina of time. There was a speedrun event for it thus past weekend and im looking to have the game put up as an official game to be speedrun on here. how would i go about that?
