https://www.speedrun.com/sm3das dont ask me for some reason they have separated 3D All Stars from the rest of games
I'm not sure, as far as I am aware the game is largely the same on the switch as the Wii so it probably doesn't matter.
The 3d all stars category was added so that people could submit runs for all 3 games (480 stars etc), and also because the switch versions have had some glitches patched (BLJ) so they are actually slower to run that the original.
Actually, the switch might load SMG faster than the Wii, but I think it would only change the overall time a bit and it wouldn't matter. (You are allowed to play on the Wii u instead of the Wii so I don't think the hardware matters, it only matters if there are major differences between the original version and 3DAS version)
A full-game run has its place on the 3DAS page, but for ILs, would anything be different? Doesn’t SMG do all it’s loading at the beginning of the level, so operating system wouldn’t make any difference for a single level?

They probably double clicked the send button which sent it twice, considering the messages were sent at the same time.
ok so there are actually a lot of differences and this is exactly why you cannot submit a run on switch on the SMG leaderboard (about ILs we already asked to add them on the 3das category but it might be really messy this is why we don't have them, honestly not a huge loss imo)
First the load times, as you previously said they are way faster than the wii (~3 minutes just for any% and over a minute compared the best way to run the game currently, which is the JPVC version on the Wii U)
Second is that you can run the game on korean and this is where the biggest difference is. We banned Korean a few years ago because it was the only version that didn't get one as a Virtual Console after, so it was unfair (and also impossible to submit theoratically). Now in 3das the Korean has been readded and you can run it, it saves time over the Japanese language and with the switch loads it becomes just completely broken comparing someone who runs on an English Wii and a Korean Switch (~4 minutes)
I hope I could've help you if you have more questions you can dm me :)
logical, thanks for clearifaying all Nethna @UnsinkableGaming also, in respect of what you say, maybe there is a lot of people that have the galaxy and just prefer playing in wii or, much worst, they just dont have switch, or the game you cant just give an advantage to the players for playing on the Switch like if they were better runners because of that, then the top runners should obligatory get a switch and the game and then play with the switch controllers and all of that to get fast times, the speedrun comunity doesnt want to obligate runners to play on the switch to be fast
anyways the loads shouldnt be a problem for IL´s lol idk is more literaly the time you get in src is the time that the game say is your record when you look at that start before entering a level, at least in mg2, an i even have an IL submision of mg2 with just a photo of the time, idk if is diferent in mg1
idk new category, but doing the load diference here seems so tedious for what it is so like nope lol
First of all, thank you to everyone who voted. This was the biggest turnout we've ever had, reaching 112 votes! Here is the final verdict: Co-Star (2P) runs will be split from No Co-Star (1P) runs for ALL categories, but Co-Star runs will appear first by default. We will not be implementing th
