My PALs, I have a small question about the PAL version
4 years ago

see what I did there? That was a beautiful joke

For the longest time, the PAL and NTSC version have been submitted upon the same leaderboard. People have previously asked for it to be a separate category from NTSC, as it is quite different and much much slower as of right now (NTSC WR at 4:55, and PAL WR at 5:10, though it's not as optimized)

I know most of you mods are aware that with the TAS of the NTSC version and the PAL version, it is quite perfect, and the PAL version is a whopping 3 seconds faster than NTSC. Maybe the TAS can pull off the insane many 5 full FPGs in a row, but can humans?

As of today I do not know of a single Super Mario Bros. 1 speedrunner who believes full FPG is even possible to pull off in the PAL version as a human, but lets take a moment and say it is indeed possible, and you can get consistent enough at it. Lets say someone manages to beat the NTSC WR on the PAL version, with a whopping 4:53. An unbeatable time using the NTSC version, basically killing that version. If that is something that can happen, will the PAL version be separated from the NTSC version?

TLDR: If someone beats the NTSC WR on the PAL version, will the two versions be separated?

Beat it and let's find out :)

I would like a solid something to happen before that such scenario actually happens
