You are allowed to do it in ghost mode.

No. Addon karts only contain data of a choice of 3 weights and where sprites go. Don't worry.

The difference is for story mode runs though - does it count delay inbewteen tracks loading?

Well then in my view that defeats the point of it.

Is this based on in-game time or real time?

No, you have to encode separately (which is stupid and wasteful) but it is in the stream settings somehwere.

I use simplescreenrecorder. OBS is slow, buggy, and I can't change a simple thing without a crash.

OBS is very bad. Only use it if you have to.

I'm sorry if I sounded a little over-critical then, I'm known to do that.

A definite no for needing an outside timer. They have all been verified using inside time, and it is completely unfair.

As for the standard settings, the other runs I can't imagine comply.

I'm going to give you two mod, I have no idea how to fix this myself.

The problem I just realised as I tried to change it is that doing so would completely screw up runs that are already submitted.

The difference is tiny. It should just be a misc bonus to do a single 5 lap race. but that's just my opinion. If it's wrong I'll add a 100% category.

Then all 0.8 would need subcategory, too. If that is best, then fine.

That'd just be a silly thing IMO, it just ends up being accidental on some runs/

What do you mean by 100%? I thought you meant do easy, meduim and hard for every level.

I changed it to other%. If anyone does a 100% run I'll add it, but I'm unsure as to how well it would go.

EDIT: What runs do 100%?

It's good for people who aren;t going for the world record/would do all gold but can't consistently get some of them for gold. It's a good feature.

I'll see about the leaderboard, but it's going to be complicated.

I have an SSD. No hard drives at all. So it isn't that.
