there isn't enough change to the route

pc is faster by several minutes

as long as you can record footage on to your pc you should be fine

timer is not needed. but you might want it yourself. timer can be set up by recording your run through obs. watch some obs tutorials to see how it is used. if you're running on a console and don't have a capture card you might not be able to record anything else than your monitor screen

nah

wow didn't know that. that's actually really cool! we use speedrun.com for leaderboards but it's cool that xbox live has some sort of time tracking

what official ingame leaderboard? are you talking about this leaderboard or something that I don't know about?

Uhh I'm not exactly sure what you're trying to say but Replay Story is done RTA meaning that cutscenes that are skipped don't count towards the final time because you skip them.

Do you mean the same way as in LEGO Harry Potter?

Pokiskip strats% lmao

This is allowed in most other lego games so I think it's fine.

why are you not a mod?

I have no idea how DxWnd works for this game but at least with lego games, DxWnd causes issues with physics. I would advise to be careful with it and experiment how it works with the game. Using a second monitor is usually the best option.

It is possible and only useful if you are going really fast. Then you can (in theory) hyper strike to get extra distance and height. It isn't used that much in the first game as it is used in others... But why didn't you test this yourself tho?
