Since there are no rules defined, these are what I suggest.

• Timing starts when your cursor disappears after clicking Paprika on Disc 1
• Timing stops when your cursor appears after reaching the Land of Great Discovery
• Changing any of the difficulty settings by pressing "S" on the Pathway selection screen is not allowed
• Pressing ESC to skip cutscenes is allowed
• You can only have one Disc running at a time. You must close Disc 1 before opening Disc 2.

Based on these rules, 2nd place should be re-timed to about 12m 20s.

For 3rd place, the video cuts off before the cursor appears in the Land of Great Discovery. However, we can re-time the video from that point to what it would be had the final cutscene played all the way through without being skipped. This would make it an approximate time of 17m 55s.

Please tell me what you think of these rules! :]

Good, but what do you mean by "You can only have one disc running at a time. You must close disc 1 before opening disc 2"?

That's a good question. Thank for asking.

This game actually has two discs, simply known as Disc 1 and Disc 2. Disc 1 contains the Paprika and Mailbox stories. Disc 2 has Magenta's story, and the Land of Great Discovery.

The idea behind this rule is to prevent someone from gaining a time advantage by running both Discs at the same time. In other words, a player with one disc drive has an equal chance of getting a good time as someone with two drives.

Even though you can just mount the two discs to make it easy to open both, I just think it would be more fair to all if you have to close the first Disc before opening the second. The game auto closes Disc 1 and opens Disc 2 anyway if you use the prompts.

I see now. Most people only have one disc drive on there PCs. I don't think anyone will do this, but what if someone were to use iso image backups of the discs?

I'm not sure what an iso image backup is. Basically, you can have both discs "in" or whatever, but you just have to close Disc 1 before opening Disc 2, which the game does for you automatically anyway.

Are you interested in running this game?

A little. Been wanting to find a click and go adventure game to run. An iso image is a digital backup of a disc you make from the disc itself with a program like IMGburn. It's pretty useful

Good luck getting your run verified. This mod isn't very active and doesn't respond to messages.

Also, you can submit a time of 1 second and it should be accepted because there are no defined rules.
