Question About Best Lap Categories for No R, No MT, No D-Pad, Etc.

For these categories is it safe to assume the times are taken from a standard full course run; or are you allowed to do a specialized run where you use all three items in one lap for a better time? Just curious! Thanks! ☆

Yes, Best Lap times are taken from a standard full course run, however it does not mean you cannot use all the three items in the same lap: as long as the whole run is done by following the rules of the category you are competing in, then the time is legit.

Here are some examples, to make this more clear:

  • Using 3 Mushrooms in a Best Lap run IS allowed.
  • Pressing the R button (in No-R) or doing a Mini-Turbo (in No-MT) before your Best Lap is NOT allowed. This goes for No D-Pad too, you cannot start a Best Lap run on lap 2 or 3 with a better angle set with the usage of D-Pad.

Further Accuracy Update and Addition of New Categories!

Hello karters, Pika here.

First of all I have reworded some of the Rules: some of them had typos and some of them were not clear enough, so I simply updated them for more clarity. Along with that, I have also made a thread where you can find out the sources of each player without a Speedrun.com
