Hi, I'm a series moderator for the Kirby series. Can the following category extensions board be linked up to the main game?:

Hey everyone,

Tracy and I were discussing how to time any% runs, and we decided to change the end of timing to a visual indicator (first frame Whispy shows up):

instead of an input. This will make retiming runs less ambiguous but unfortunately does add a little bit of time to all existing runs. We apologize for the inconvenience. All runs under a minute have been retimed, rounding down to the nearest tenth of a second.

Reposting since my earlier request seems to have been missed:

"Hi, I'd like to request moderator status for Zork I: The Great Underground Empire (https://www.speedrun.com/zork1). The moderator has been inactive for a few months and I was unable to contact them through their limited social media accounts. Thanks in advance!"

Thanks!

You can use that controller adapter.

The rule regarding correct emulator choice has been updated to include other kinds of acceptable proof.

Another rule about emulator functions like savestates, etc. has also been added.

After talking it over with the other moderators, autosplitters have been banned for this game. There are a couple of reasons for this, the primary one being that it reads from memory over the course of a run.

If you're referring to this part:

you need two upgrades to get past it. If I recall correctly it's the one in Mu plus the one in Bermuda.

For these categories, I'm not aware of any emulation differences, so it'll be categorized the same for now.

If you want the image to show up on speedrun.com, you need to give a direct link, i.e., a URL that ends in ".jpg" Sometimes the moderators will edit the URL themselves.

I've removed Secret Ending as a category, given the complete lack of submissions in the ~3 years this leaderboard has been around. This also matches the Blowout Blast leaderboard.

Hey everyone,

In an effort to curb the prevalence of controversial submissions and to increase the standard and legitimacy of the leaderboards, the moderators have agreed to increase the threshold for video requirements to 1:00:00 for any% NMG, 1:10:00 for 100% NMG, and 55:00 for any% UFO. All existing runs without video that were under these thresholds have been removed, which is a departure from previous rule changes. We would like to eventually move towards requiring video for all submissions.

Thank you for your understanding, and please let us know if you have any questions.

I've cleaned up the rules a bit and incorporated some of the suggestions here, in particular the category name proposals.

2P is taking control of Gooey. Just spawning Gooey would not make it a 2P run, since it can be done on the first controller.

I'll clarify that in the rules.

One example off the top of my head is how Kirby preserves momentum after taking damage off of spikes. This makes the normal strategy for the beginning of 5-4 not work.

Ah, just a small correction--my Dream Collection recordings were done on Wii, not Wii U, but I doubt there would be a difference anyways.

As someone who has probably spent significantly more time (and money) than anyone else on "the first minigame," 100-Yard Hop, I am strongly opposed to the idea of having a leaderboard for it here. Literally the only argument here for why the cyberscore leaderboard is inadequate is "it's not speedrun.com."

100-Yard Hop has nearly no speedtech in it, and a large majority of the time it comes down purely to luck. Furthermore, it's completely disconnected from the main story mode in both gameplay and counting towards completion. The cyberscore leaderboards are suited for handling these types of minigames, e.g., see precedent on Air Grind in Nightmare in Dream Land.

Multiplayer runs are not tracked on this leaderboard, if that's what you're asking.

You can simply put the URL for your photo in the video field.

Thanks for your patience. All Ultimate Choice submissions so far have been verified. There was a problem with setting up the Ability option on speedrun.com, but that's all been fixed.
