If someone did a speedrun of Sonic 3 Complete(A romhack of Sonic 3 & knuckles)would it still count as a speedrun for Sonic 3 & Knuckles? In the romhack you can skip cutscenes & transform from your super state back to your base form,but lets say the runner didn't do either of those things,and played as if it were the original S3&K,would it count as a legitimte run for S3&K or not?
For those who may say"If you're gonna play it that way,just play the original",Sonic 3 Complete has this feature where when you turn into your super form,instead of having the invisibility theme play;it plays a speed up version of the stage music;it's one of the main reasons why I prefer it over the original version.
No, it would not be acceptable for this board to have a Sonic 3 Complete run on here. However, it may be possible to get that game added to the Sonic Fan Games section https://www.speedrun.com/sonic_fan_games
No, playing a ROMhack does not count as playing the original.
Thank you for the responses,I'll see if I can get it added to the Sonic fan games section.
As of today, any new submissions of S3K from the Steam version will no longer be allowed. This is due to a couple of factors but mostly being inhibited availability as SEGA delisted it when releasing Origins. Any existing runs will remain unaffected.
