So yes you are absolutely correct about it being a bug. I went back and tried that without spamming X and it worked perfectly fine. I guess my normal "playstyle" so to speak just includes me developing early onset arthritis (i spam super fast and super often), so I literally opened the menu in the short period before she picks up the money. Fun fact about this bug, it actually completely hard locks you out of the games, because your game freezes if you try to go back to that room. Thanks for the help though lol, I didn't expect to be finding game breaking bugs on my first speedrun of the game lol.

I was doing a run and I beat the people (i still dont know what to call the enemies in this game lol) but it didnt let me go to the chinese open??? I assume this is probably be a corrupted rom or it could potentially be a bug(???). If it's a corrupted rom can someone point me in the direction of a non-terrible rom please?

As the title says, I think there should be a money category, such as "fastest time to get 1 million" or something. Could be a cool category with lots of expansion possible
