why would they be defending player 1 in a no items run, also you compromose your driving just to keep drafting each other, and really it's a speedrun for the slower player and hinders the better player of the two. crash nitro kart is in a similar spot with all cups co-op but the fact you can disable the ai, it means the run is the same as the 1 player version just with half a screen

if you want this to be on all tracks it’s simply not possible with mount wario, n64 rainbow road, big blue, paris promenade and tokyo blur

I think if this is a thing, maybe allow multiple runners, for instance take the 1545 Marathon of having one runner for some games and have the combined time be submitted, There's probably a lot of rules to be enforced for this but I feel its the most practical rather than one person doing every track considering how many consoles and capturing equipment one person will likely have

You could say this about many shortcuts like boomerang and tiziano. I don’t think it’s necessary when it’s only a requirement at world record level.

dolphin now has its own subcategory

If the pve missions end up disappearing after this season, where does the game go in terms of speedrunning?

why is there a level leaderboard for each individual game and not have it as a variable in the full game board?

adding to that, maybe every unique coin on a track
