Nova Scotia, Canada
Here's the link to watch my example run if any of you are still interested.
Personally I don't think you should disregard a category idea because in four years you may not be able to run it anymore, but you're the mods and you know what your doing more than I do so, do what you think is best for the page.
It would be randomly generated levels from Hot Courses, so no. You would get a different batch of levels every time you did the speedrun.
And also to clear something up, when thinking of this category, I intended on having total time between all the levels, loading levels, failed attempts, etc. as part of the time. I don't want it to be like the Ninji category where you just add the time of each level together, because you're right, then the category wouldn't be fair. However if you just let the timer run between levels and during playtime, you'll be on an even playing field for the most part because you might have a short level, but it takes you a couple of attempts to get WR and the timer keeps going. Sorry I didn't make that clear in my first post, but I hope this clears up some confusion I think some of you had.
Hi guys, sorry I haven't gotten the video to you yet. I did the run, but I've been having some problems with my wifi and I haven't been able to upload it to YouTube. But just so you guys know, I did the run in Hot Courses and I got a time of 9m 28s.
Okay, thanks!
I also have a question, does the run need to start with zero progression? Or can we start a run at a current score of, say, 400?
Okay. I'll send a video of the run that I did later today but what you guys have said makes sense.
Get the WR on five courses in New or Hot courses (I don't know which mode is better to do it in)
-Must go into level without looking at it before run other than in menu -Can complete any levels on the list of hot or new courses -Timing starts when pressing start on first level, ends when "World Record" banner appears on last level.
Potential Changes to be made: -Decide whether to put it in Hot Courses or New Courses, I did some tests and I found in Hot Courses it took a while to get world records because most courses there are two seconds long and hold right levels, in New Courses though, you're almost guaranteed a world record or first clear
-Decide whether or not a first clear counts as world record, this could lead to some interesting scenarios if you have to play a level multiple time to get first clear and world record
-Any other changes or ideas you guys think would be good for a category like this
Thanks for reading stupid long explanation, hope you consider this for an official category!
Just submitted these five runs for the leaderboard. Thanks for making the IL leaderboard! Also wanted to let you know that when submitting runs, there is no way to put in milliseconds. Don't know if that is something you can change but thought I'd tell you.
Here's links to speedruns of the first five levels. I haven't done too much optimizing and I really have no idea how the times pan out to times other people might have.

I'll send a few in the coming days. I don't know how good they are compared to other people because I haven't ever seen any IL run for Fight Crab. Thanks!
I know it’s been a while since you’ve posted this, but I’m very interested in doing in level speedruns.
Can we have a category for individual levels? I love finding strats to beat each level as fast as possible and I'd like to be able to submit my fast times for each individual level. Is there anyway that we can create that category?
Okay. Thanks for the tips!
I recently attempted a lose all sports speedrun without very much preparation. My time was very slow which didn't bother me because I didn't expect to get a fast time. One of the time saves I wanted to utilize was to make my mii a pro at boxing so that I get KO'd faster. After levelling up my mii I wanted to see how much faster I was going to get KO'd and I let the other boxer beat me to a pulp. But after getting knocked down, the count only went to 4 and then I got back up. When I did the speedrun, I got KO'd first try. Is there some algorithm I don't know about to get KO'd first try or is it complete RNG?
