I'd further consider something like BlackRabite% on each difficulty for those who'd love to optimise for a more competitive fight

Is there a way to provoke the other characters to jump? Because I've seen them often standing on a upper ledge, but when I'm below them it doesn't seem that they have a reason to jump to trigger the possibility to get this done

Since we're getting to the point where the majority of people tends to finish the game we should consider which modes should be available.

Even though there were a lot of categories for the Trials of Mana Remake compared to the amount of runners I think it fits what's possible to run so that everyone can race what fits them most!

That means we'd need every plattform and every difficulty. But at the same time I think it could be wise to have a major category like (Any%) without any restriction (difficulty, glichtes, etc), but ofc NG+ should be its own category (without creating sub-categories for NG+ like different difficulties since the enemies doesn't scale in NG+ and therefore it would almost not matter on which difficulty you'd do your run).

So my proposal would be like:

• Any % (PS5, XBox, PC) + (each difficulty)
• Any % Glitchless (PS5, XBox, PC) + (each difficulty)
• NG+
• NG+ Glitchless

That would be a total of 26 categories what is in my oppinion a lot! But at the same time I don't think we can't trim this in any way down.

Does anyone have any further ideas or is there some talks already in the background about it that could be shared?

Alright, thought SNES9x would be valid because of the mentioning of the SNES9x Core, too bad.

Thanks again! If I have further questions in the future I'll come back to this thread :)

Thanks for the answer!

Okay, that all makes now sense to me! Just to be safe, since I don't want to have an unvalid run in the future: Do I understand that correctly, that the SNES9x 1.60 is allowed as my choice for the emulator? I'd prefer emulator over NSO and the SNES9x over Bizhawk.

And can the SNES9x 1.60 view the following things since I never had to use those (are they even really necessary): Subtitles, Status Bar, Messages

Thanks again, have a nice day! :)

Hey runners!

I'm kinda confused about the emulator part of the rules which states:

"All emulator submissions must be done on Bizhawk 2.8.x or higher using the SNES9x Core, with the following displayed: FPS, FrameCounter, Input, Subtitles, Status Bar, Messages. All can be found under the "View" tab. All other settings to remain default. Each attempt must begin with a core reset (CTRL+R by default), and it must be included in the submitted video."

I've watched some runs and never saw FPS, FrameCounter, Inputs, etc. shown, nor do I believe that everyone's using Bizhawk.

So my questions are:

• Do I have to show those parameters when people who got WR didn't show them? (I'd prefer not to view them as they'd block my field of view and wouldn't be pretty for streaming.)
• Is it okay to use the SNES9X 1.60? If not is it okay to use the Nintendo Switch Version? (I've seen someone here did this already for Any%)
• Are there any guides, tips and glitches collected besides the ones here somewhere which would help me (especially for something like "Max Ranch Master Rating")?

I'd love to run "Marriage%" on the long term. I even consider running someday "Max Ranch Master Rating" if it's possible to run in ~30 hours.

Thanks for the help in advance! :)
