Discord?

Is there a discord for this game? If not I think it would be a nice idea. There's very little info on this game out there so it'd be nice to talk to other runners.

Considering that only seven runners have submitted over the past year, I don't imagine that a dedicated Discord server would see much use. Unless there's, like, a crowd of people quietly grinding this game unbeknownst to anybody, but I kinda doubt that. That's just my opinion, though.

I know there's a general Mario speedrunning Discord somewhere. You could ask to get a game-specific channel made there, maybe?

Even if a discord won't see much activity it would be nice to just have a place for sharing stuff but I think that's fair. Was considering setting one up for myself and a few friends that have been interested in picking the game up to easily store info.

@Acid_Rain One thing I would like to share with you specifically I might aswell do here is that you mention the birdo in 1-1 to be RNG in the description of your 1-1 IL but it's actually not. I'm not sure if you knew this or learned about this at a later point but birdo works on a global timer like pretty much everything else in the game that starts when you boot up the game. It counts to 255 and then goes back to 0. So if you were to softreset, enter the file at a specific time and play 1-1 very consistently you could manip birdo to spit out an egg the moment you enter the fight. :) Haven't figured out what determines what red birdo spits out tho :/

Thanks for letting me know! I was aware (though not at the time) that the game operates on a a global timer, but not the number of increments or when the timer started. In my experience, mashing through the menu and playing as close to optimally as possible just so happens to give pretty excellent Birdo patterns in 1-1 and 1-2, so that's what I've been doing.

I stand by what I said about a dedicated Discord channel not seeing much use, but if you do decide to make one, I recommend you post it here anyway. I would join, for what it's worth (not that I use Discord much).

Congrats on your success running the game so far and good luck in the future!
