So, as of runs that i have seen on video sites (eg. Youtube), I want to start running this game, but as of what I have seen in this community, the game has only been run on USA and JP versions. I live in the UK so the only version I have to play is PAL PS2. Are there any skips in the game that are exclusive to USA/JP, or any that are exclusive to PAL?

I've messed around with PAL GC a bit and it doesn't seem to be any different form USA, so it shouldn't matter on that. JP is very different from the NTSC and PAL versions. The reason no one really runs PAL is because no one really has PAL, but again with my testing PAL is pretty much the same as NTSC so you should be fine on that.

On the JP version there is no real exclusive skip, just alternate methods, but as far as in your case, the only disadvantage you are in is playing on the Playstation 2, but other than that, you should be good. Good luck!

Update 5/22/16:

Okay, I did not record my run because I unfortunately do not have a capture card 🙁

My time was 57:54, I'm not sure if the runs have to be recorded or just timed to a certain place, but I am starting to get the hang of it a little. PAL definitely does not have any different kinds of glitches than NTSC, well so far at least 😛

Yes, runs do have to be recorded now, regardless of time. Also congrats on sub 1 already!

@NachoBrado thanks! 😃
