Mobile Speedruns to be removed
2 years ago
England

On the 10th Janurary we are removing the Mobile speedruns for a couple of reasons. So it been in effect for about 10 months and there are very little runs, We have a limited number of databases and with each major patch the Devs really like to test us by changing something which makes us have to archive runs.

If you have any problems with this let us know

maybe a google spreadsheet or similar so we can atleast kinda have a leaderboard?

Problem is there wont be any way to submit any more runs, they have to go onto a leaderboard and with the way things are going we are going to run out of databases, mobile speedruns was a test and if not a lot happened we would remove it. in the 10 months we pretty much seen less than 10 runs, this is not sustainable for us to warrant 3 databases for.

well can you still bring the mobile speed runs back or atleast make it so we can submit the mobile runs on the regular runs because some people (not me) only can play on mobile edition so are we able to at least submit the runs on the normal version because it’s unfair that an entire version of the game is no longer being accepted as a speed run so we still should be able to submit the runs as either normal or as it’s own

The only way we will be able to bring it back is if we created a brand new speedrun just for mobile, We have a limited number of databases and once we reach the limited all runs disappear (we have had this happen before) and we have to remove the category we created, There are so many ideas out there of good ways people want to speed run this game and adding mobile back isn't doable in this part of the site, by all means you can get it created and mod it yourself, just contact speedrun admin team.

The mobile game is the only other platform (I think) that is seprate from all the other platforms and for the sake of less than 12 runs its not worth it.

so why does it have to be separate if you don’t mind me asking?

Because Its a Different game in its entirety. Its Like Sonic 1 and Sonic 2. or OOT and MM. Theyre made from the same people in the same engine, but they are categorically different games. If you go onto Twitch they are listed as different games too.
