3 Living Hats now, but yeah, it's surprisingly easy to miss it when you're focused/on autopilot XD

There is no current ruling on it I believe.

More like 1 in a hundred thousand :P But thanks :P Just a little lucky

@stitchyourheart - The rules aren't too confusing and we've since made some changes, but overall it's fairly straightforward. Just record everything XD

@Legoking - The run itself actually wasn't bad. I did 2 runs back to back (1/2 day rest between lol)

Haboo has done faster runs than this and he's done many more than me. He's a madman XD

As for most ideas, you can certainly do runs yourself and keep track of the times. If the idea gets a lot of attention and runs it could be added later.

An interesting run idea though.

There is a chance of being added but it lost out in recent votings for popularity. There isnt likely to be another vote for a while.

You can always keep track of your times though and try to better the times.

There was a vote for just catching every fish but it wasnt popular enough :/ can still do it and keep track of your times though :)

Consoles are generally slower and harder to use than pc, so nearly everyone does pc. A few people have done switch I believe though.

For the timer, it depends on how you're capturing the recording. If you're recording on a pc with a capture card, then having a timer is relatively easy to do. If you're playing on a tv/handheld mode using a phone to record the screen, don't worry about the timer.

Generally for timers, if you're able to do it you should. So anyone recording on a pc should have a timer (i think ps4/5 has an option to do it too).

1 - people will generally always play on the fastest version of a game. They may start with a less ideal method but for most people, switch if they want to "compete" 2 - extensions was planned to be better laid out and give reasonable variables/categories that can't really be done on the main leaderboard 3 - while pc does have the advantage of ac there are few runs that would really make that big of a difference having vanilla.

There are 11 categories that could have vanilla 7/11 categories have nearly zero runners and are very unlikely to have any amount of "competition" or running popularity to warrant a "vanilla". - Perfection, seeded perfection, 4 candles, seeded 4 candles, junimo 120, skull caverns, secret statues

4/11 AC would make a difference and are ran by a few people, but the number of "competitive" runners not using AC is very low. So the very small time difference and same route, there's very little need to "need" another category.

There is no plan to add a vanilla category and unlikely to be added unless there is huge demand or if additional things are added to differentiate vanilla and glitchless.

AC of course is faster, but we don't want additional categories that aren't run. The main leaderboard has that issue and it'd be hard to change at this point.

To be fair, seaurchin% is pretty much that :P

Quick fyi, better to message in the Discord channel. People don't generally check the forums too much :) And yes, there are other glitches and stuff available, though largely on older game versions (1.2)

Correct. PC has a limit for the items. It shows in the shop how many are available. Once you buy all of an item it's finished.

Interesting mechanic. I'd say "regular" gameplay would include buying as much as you'd want. It doesn't list any limit like pc. I'll run it past the other mods but I don't see anything wrong with it.

I'd need to see what that looks like. On PC it shows a limited number of items so you can only buy as many as listed. It'd likely need to be debated by mods though and potentially community too. Please share a video if you can :)

I checked some runs on people's profiles and it shows them having a top 3 time despite being anything but. People with a top time have accurate "trophy images" on their profile pages for their runs but other people have random trophies.

Bug?

That living hat drop

I'm currently in Japan with access to the Japanese cartridges and have a few of the English versions if you're interested.

The slingshot route can be used on 1.4.0 or prior. I don't know what the current mobile version is though. I'd ask in the Discord #tech-talk. Not sure for answers though, since nearly everyone is on pc.

Just a quick little update on rules/requirements for runs.

Smapi isn't allowed when playing - it removes most of the load time between saves. Since the current leaderboard goes on RTA, having a recording of just IGT won't be approved. The load remover in Livesplit (generally) works to do the job of Smapi by pausing the timer on sleep loads.

Any video submitted needs at least 30 fps.
