Maybe if there's a lot of interest in it? It's not a super active speedgame so I'd be surprised if many people wanted to try a category that long but feel free to run it if you think it would be fun
Instead of removing your other run, I changed the second username to the new one (so it's obsolete and hidden instead of deleted). Let us know if you still want it to be removed, though
Yeah that's the idea. My perspective might be different from most considering I've submitted multiplayer runs with different people and I can tell you that the goal isn't to get "as many good runs as possible" and more about just having fun with different people. I wouldn't be too affected if my other runs were obsoleted, but the people I ran with would probably care.
The other thing would be that runs with different amounts of people probably shouldn't be overwritten (for example, Volza and I did a 2p run as well as a 3p run with Caleb, but that's the only multiplayer run Caleb has done and the runs are pretty different from each other).
I totally understand why you might be frustrated but I don't think there's really a great solution other than trying to compete based on the final time, rather than position on the leaderboard.
This should have everything you need to download Saria's practice rom https://sites.google.com/view/nsmb-practice-roms/nsmbw
Video evidence has been pretty standard across speedrunning communities for many years now. The quality of video doesn't need to be amazing so it isn't much of a barrier for most people (most people just use their smartphone or another camera to record the screen). You're obviously still able to speedrun without video evidence, it just won't be accepted onto the leaderboards.
You've just described All Royal Seeds. Obviously there are some other glitches in the game, but none are as game-breaking as the overworld skips
to get the goomba in the proper position, you want it to be in the top-left corner when you start 1-1. it'll end up in the top-right corner once you beat 1-4, allowing you to pass safely to 1-6 (but you might need to move around the square in an unoptimal way to avoid the goomba)
if you collect it during the level, yes, but you can't start with one
we're still planning on it yeah, not entirely sure what exactly the rules will be and when it'll happen but you can totally do a run and then submit once the leaderboard is made
we're working on some stuff, including figuring out individual world speedruns. stay tuned!
Any% rules specify that only one player can control the game (ie. no multiplayer) but it's a suggestion we've gotten many times and will continue to discuss. I can say pretty confidently that some form of multiplayer will exist at some point, but we'd like to set up other stuff first. You're always free to do some multiplayer runs beforehand though!
@YoKids you can totally do runs, we don't have immediate plans about what to do with the any% category as it is right now but it'll exist in some form for a while i'd say. doesn't make sense to wait for an update and this game probably won't get a "final update" for years.
to add onto romain, i'd like to mention that the recent runs tab can look deceptive. sometimes you might see "10 days ago" or something on there, but the actual queue has runs submitted 6 days ago, latest. the date on recent runs shows the date the run was performed, and so sometimes people submit runs they got a few days ago, which makes it look like runs were verified super late when that is not the case.
we've made a lot of progress with the queue over the weekend, and while we probably won't be completely up-to-date for a while since there are still lots of daily submissions, we should have more recent wrs soon.
