This is a bit of a random question but an interesting thought I had. There are a lot of categories which are both incredibly easy and incredibly optimized, leading to many people being able to tie the world record.

I did some research, and I found a few games with lots of world record ties:

Breaking the bank had 17 ties before it was untied. Zool any%: 30 wr ties before it was untied Glass Joe il had 300+ runs before it was deleted https://www.speedrun.com/mtpo/thread/73jsn Club Penguin Thin Ice: 8 ties Super Mario Bros. CE Minus World : 8 ties Hitman 2 silver tongue any% IL: 9 ties A platformer for ants any%: 12 ties Paper Minecraft sleep set seed: 13 ties Choppy orc level 2: 14 ties Super mario run 1-1 IL: 14 ties windows minesweeper beginner: 16 ties Sonic the hedgehog Marble 2 IL: 18 ties Google Doodle Halloween 2015: 18 ties dragster any%: 18 ties (more ties for slower times, but only 18 wr ties) Super Mr. Krbas 1-1 IL: 19 ties Wii Sports Resort CE HS Bowling 100 pin: 21 ties World's Hardest Game level 2 IL: 23 ties The town with no name any%: 24 ties Getting over it uninstall: 27 ties Red ball level 1 il: 28 ties Celeste classic 2100m: 42 ties Punch Out NES Don Flamenco: 44 ties Seterra New south wales cities IL: 50 ties Home Alone NES: 77 ties NSMB2 1-1 IL: 106 ties Mario Maker 2 A downhill batttle IL: 107 ties Google Doodle Pony Express: 109 ties NSMB 1-1 IL: 176 ties MC CLassic mine dirt: 481 ties (i think this is the most)

There might be more though.

I knew about the ties in MTPO glass joe and this is the only level, but titol had only a few ties, and I couldn't find the leaderboard for glass joe.

Yeah titol definitely isn't many but I still think it's impressive.

French Southern Territories

Glamorganshire, Wales

This is for ties on speedrun.com, not the "official" rankings

[quote]I’m pretty sure NES Home alone has a 119 way tie WR not a 77 way tie. [/quote] i haven't updated the list in 4 months ok

56-way tie for 54th place.

and many other multi-way ties at other ranks.

TITOL has more ties now (and some of the others may as well idk)

United States

When I search NSMBDS, the majority of what I find refers to it merely as NSMB, so I think it's fine as it is.
