Recently we found out that in the Japanese version all dialogues are skipped much faster (almost 4 seconds timesave). If someone beat WR on J version, his run will be in the main category or it will be moved to a separate one? I wouldn't want to grind RNG for years and then go to a separate J leaderboard. Like they want to do in Battletoads with Zitz, because he is faster :)

Timesave

Before Freezer: US = 5.472 J = 5.138 0.334 difference

After Ghost house: US = 28.896 J = 25.759 3.137 difference

The last dialogue US = 6.440 J = 6.073 0.367 difference

Total difference: 3.838 (I used turbo buttons for more accurate metering)

PS. Also thanks to Baras441 for finding this kill on Whiskey Weasel, now J version is not impossible SeemsGood

Today was approved a new puzzle game on SRC. You can support a new leaderboard :)

Magic Jewelry's gameplay resembles that of Columns and Dr. Mario, both of which released earlier in the same year. Sets of 3 or more matching coloured jewels must be lined up horizontally, vertically or diagonally in order to score points, while simultaneously removing said jewels.

Why "verifiers" don't have rights to edit time in runs? We can verify only 100%-matched runs, but if someone submit +-1 second or wrong milliseconds for short games, we can't. Verifier mod can only accept or reject, that's all. But we should verify runs in any case.
