It has already be done. See for example here:

I can't find the Cheat% category anymore. Google shows exactly one relevant result and that leads to a "run not found" here. Was it removed? If yes, why?

It's not about achieving something good. If someone figures out a way to credits warp and beats the game in 10 minutes, then a 50 minute run without that would still be amazing, but not the world record. Currently the site claims that both are exactly tied, which is simply false.

Speedrun.com should show milliseconds for this game. Now two people have a time of 59:59 and it claimed that the second one was another new world record, even though it was a few milliseconds slower. And some other categories probably also have very close times.

What are you trying to say?

@CreepyGar It's possible with a narrower definition of "powerup": youtube.com/watch?v=gP3HyDVneNI

Would be extremely easy in 1.14: Find a village. Done.

With a virtual machine maybe? Do you have an example of where the Linux version was played on Windows?

Loading times on official hardware are known and (usually) consistent, so you can check if it's dark for the correct number of frames.

That's only one player mode, is that intended? The two player record is currently lower.

I don't know what that is, but if it's a modded client, then no. Only Optifine is allowed in some categories or the mods required for a category (like SkyFactory).

Sub1 is so overhyped that every world record triggers a forum thread. :D

You mean just having the file there? Why would it, if you don't use it? Also, using it would then qualify you for the "legacy versions" category instead.

What's your question?

Not sure if it's the same in Galaxy 1, but in 2 there is a timer in the level selection, that counts.

I'm pretty sure that's just the indicator for being either a player or the player with the first Wiimote. If not, please tell me how it could detect that.

Wait, what? "Using the Wheel is easily verifiable since it indicates it on the Player scores during the Cup." How? It can't possibly detect that.

The wheel is just a piece of plastic. And I would consider the choice whether to use a nunchuck or not as part of the strategy, just like the choice of character, cart or automatic/manual.

That can surely be discussed for the future, but can it please be moved into the rules for now to prevent people from putting a full day into it for nothing? I wanted to play it anyway and afterwards found out that I wouldn't be on last place, so I wanted to submit it, but maybe there are some people who only do it for the speedrun.

I looked at the rules, saw no emulator ban, played 242 stars in 27 hours, created an account and only then saw "Emulators are banned" on the submit page. Can that please be put into the rules?
