I found a very strange run, done as Luigi on the Flame Runner. Not sure if I'm overlooking anything, but if I remember correctly Luigi can't use the Flame Runner. There was no video of the run. The run in question: https://www.speedrun.com/run/y976o3nm
Edit: Just found a Yoshi Flame Runner run as well. https://www.speedrun.com/run/zxv7qe8y
If there's no video of the runs and the people submitting the fake times aren't even smart enough to know those characters can't use those vehicles, the times need to be deleted. Also one or both of the times being "high ranked" (they aren't) is even more reason for it to be fake and for them to be deleted.
It could have also been an accident. Maybe he used Luigi with the mach bike but picked the flame runner as his vehicle when he was submitting the run, also knowing that the flame runner and mach bike are right next to each other. But there still is a chance it is a fake run.
If you can't double check what you select in a few boxes before submitting and you never record, how should people take a claimed run like that seriously?
Personally, I think they should get deleted, but I suppose the mods have the final say. I'd like to know what they would have to say about this though, because I currently have no idea if they are even aware of these runs.
Shows how much the mods pay attention. Defs need additional mods.
Twitch has recently announced that effective April 19, 2025, they will be imposing a 100-hour storage limit on Uploads and Highlights, and if surpassed, Twitch will automatically remove highlights/uploads to stay under the limit.
Going forward, all runs requiring video should be submitted with a vi
