The monkey race and monkey boat boards are now timed with sum of IGTs

The Discord linked on this page has been updated from the old server that has long since stopped being used seriously to a more recently made one that is completely centered around RTA/full game runs. If you are also interested in IL/individual level runs, we have a new server for that too.

Was gonna put this in Guides but I don't seem to be able to For the past 2 weeks or so I've been working on in-depth English notes for the Any% route and I'm proud to say I'm finally done https://docs.google.com/document/d/1GQREOne5QN2Hd16dDl73IjV1Mz6nDEekXO-0aQvr9HY/edit?usp=sharing This would not be nearly as complete as it is without ramaha's write-up, I can't read Japanese but I could discern the HP for the bosses so thank you, ramaha so much for including that information

Mandude made a server a few months ago but he stopped coming online much because of computer issues. I also think he used a default invite link which are temporary so yeah. More people are in the new one as well. and one more just for good measure https://discord.gg/UBbXC8W

https://web.archive.org/web/*/2008.pumkin.com Any capture that has a playable version should work well enough but you'll want to minimize things you have open and probably put the game on medium quality because I'm pretty sure the Wayback Machine captures are a lot more prone to lag.

I've messaged support twice about the old site, once when it was down unexpectedly and the second time I got the reply that they took the site down for the time because they were moving servers or something and that it might be back up in the future. If anyone wants I will screenshot my conversation with support and send an Imgur link here. As for a solution to do runs while the original site is down, there's not much that can be done unless a category divide is made because using a different site is literally like playing on emulator because it will either be inaccurate or unfairly faster for real time which is what happened for the 1:26 run. It was a good run but the site used put everything on a slight speedup so what could've easily been a 1:32 was a mid 1:26.

Why was this verified? https://www.speedrun.com/mkw/run/zn8x548z I thought we were going to be enforcing video requirement? It seems Jcool is against this because he verifies everything from runs with load times that are too good to be legit, any run with no video and even runs with incorrect submission data. PayToWin needs to start recording and I think he should have some of his times deleted inlcuding especially the 100% run. I know how we can fix this issue and most future issues: 1. Video requirement for every run, requiring only within a certain time for video will just be open to competition to get the closest to that time or the worst last place as seen on the Mario Odyssey leaderboards. 2. Most importantly, new mods. Remove Croco, Tyler and Jcool and add at least Javi as a mod. Francesco and I could also moderate but Javi has been trying for so long and I think he deserves mod. As for PayToWin's other times, take a look at the ones done before his 100% run: https://www.speedrun.com/user/PayToWin Pretty interesting how this has been going on for a year and no one until now has noticed.

The description of this video explains everything perfectly.

It's not WR because the video ends before the run ends. When the timing should end on the door closing, the video cuts before the pumkin guy, thing, whatever even starts to leave.

Edit: In fact, I think the run is actually more like a 1:34 or 1:35.

Edit 2: His obsolete run submitted as 1:34 is even worse lol.

It has been done. Me and PatrickPower have decided on the category "Unlock Everything" and that it only requires at least 1 star and there are now 2 complete runs and competition has started, I would like to request that Unlock Everything No Skips and regular Unlock Everything be added as either misc or main, but just to be added. I also didn't say No Items because Grand Prix. Lastly, please, please add No Skips and No Items categories for the cups and anything that doesn't have it. It's ridiculous to have No Items, No Skips, No Items or Skips and regular 32 Tracks be a thing but not for Nitro, Retro or individual cups.

I've been thinking about this on and off and recently, Pat agreed to racing me on 100% in about 3 weeks so I'd really like some official rules for the category. My idea is to get at least one star on every cup from 50cc to Mirror Mode and do all the Time Trials to unlock everything. Timing would start when you select the license, or when the license is already created and you select 1 Player for the game mode. Timing would end on completion of the last Time Trial or when the last Grand Prix ranking shows at least one Star. Switching controllers any time in the run should be allowed, separate Any% and No Skips would be nice and possibly adding an in-game time to the leaderboards would be a nice touch. I'm saying to get at least one star and not three on everything because the game doesn't have a percentage counter and after one star, nothing matters or changes, one is the same as two and two and is pretty much the same as three. This was mentioned in another thread, so I'm gonna say I think online should not be allowed and homebrew or anything to falsely speed up loads also should not be allowed either. I hope anyone finds this helpful and let me know what you think about this and if something should be changed. I mainly could use some suggestions on starting. @mods. I'll see any replies in the Morning. P.S. Rosalina can be unlocked without the need for a Mario Galaxy save.

If I do a 100% run (All slimes, all gold statues in museum, all crew members, at least one of every item, correctly completing the battle in the Hero's Well, every recipe, all tanks including the codes in the church, all canvases, complete every level/rank on Tank Masters, every tank battle including battles where Slival used to be earlier in the game, and getting Hooly's test paper marked "0%") In the future, would you add it as a misc or normal category?
