United StatesI think there are plans for that, but obviously you won't be able to see that until the leaderboard open. The ILs in question are likely to be dungeon ILs (not to spoil anything if you haven't finished or played the game)
Playing off of that logic, there could eventually be separate categories for 1.0 and the latest version, so there can be separate wrs for separate versions, if all this glitch drama eventually occurs. Deltarune (A game I run) does that due to patch 1.09 being extremely glitchy.
About a year ago, a hidden two player debug mode was discovered for Super punch out that can be accessed via holding down Y and R on a second controller as the title screen plays, then pressing A or + to continue to a hidden menu. Not only does this allow you to access every fight before making any progress, but a two player mode can be accessed by holding down Y and B on a second controller upon selecting a fight, all the way until the fight starts. In short, it would be nice if there was a category based on it, since it can be done on the SNES or on the Nintendo Switch Online Special. The category could involve the IGT winning of little Mac on each fight, or for the second player on each fight. Just an idea, since this game only has 2 categories. I would be willing to run this category, of course.
Same. I ordered the game on cartridge (because my switch doesn't have any space left) and I'm still waiting for it, so I won't be able to play it until then. I may run the shorter categories of this game (if there will be any) But when the game arrives, I plan to play it casually, first. If glitches are patched in the future, I will also have the earliest version of the game to date, and there may be unknown advantages to playing on 1.0, assuming certain glitches aren't banned to keep the playing level competitive (like with Super Mario Odyssey's first moon skip) like you, I have never ran a Zelda game, so I am definitely excited for this.
Congrats on the first 30:0X time! You might be able to achieve sub 30 eventually if it's possible.
I've been practicing beating the game blindfolded on contender mode, and I've completed contender mode twice. To do a blindfolded run, you basically have to memorize attack patterns, sound cues, and when to punch where. It's not very hard. However, there's grey area to how the rules of the run would work. (For example, you could debate whether taking the blindfold off in between fights is okay or not)
There would also be grey area on how it would be determined that the runner is blindfolded. Some blindfolds are see-through, and there would be no proof of a cheated run if the runner was able to see through the blindfold.
That thread was from 5 years ago. Here's an idea of how 100% could work:
First of all, the run would be an RTA category, since the amount of time that would accumulate during the course of the run would be too much to count.
Beginning Time:
A: Time starts upon pressing A to watch the contender glass joe cutscene in career mode. B: If you choose to go to practice mode first, time begins upon pressing A to get that cutscene.
Rules:
- You must complete the 26 contender and title defense fights on career mode.
- You must make it through at least 10 fights on mac's last stand to unlock Champion's mode.
- You must select a fight on practice mode at some point, to get the practice mode cutscene in the movie gallery. The cutscene only counts if you complete the fight.
- You must complete all 27 fights on exhibition mode while in Champion's mode.
- You must complete all 81 challenges in expedition mode.
Ending time:
A: You can stop the timer once the final challenge is complete. B: You can stop the timer once the final Champions Mode fight is completed.
(After pressing "OK" once the fight ends)
At this point, everything will be completed. The only thing you don't have to do is get the headgear, since that requires losing 100 times in career mode.
It's easier just to skip the cutscenes. You can do so by pressing A, B, +, and - at the same time. The game will automatically reset.
Wow. No replies in 2 years? I don't think this will be added, since pretty much no one would run it.
Why was this verified? He only did one level.
The fact that the switch is actually faster than other platforms is really cool. I'll keep doing runs, and post screenshots of my times in this comment section, until the switch actually gets added either as a platform or a separate category. It may not get added, but it should. Btw, congrats on the 1:16. Maybe I could get a time like that someday.
I might have wr on switch right now, because I haven't heard of anyone else who did a run on switch. Feel free to try and beat my pb (it's really bad lol it shouldn't be too hard to beat)
Playing with joy cons on fusion actually feels pretty good, and is easy to control, ironically. You can feel free to play it with joy cons, but I have been doing my runs on a pro controller. My pb is 1:53:02 with 1:15 IGT. Here is a photo to prove it:

Metroid fusion has officially been released on the switch virtual console. I did a playthrough of it, and I'm planning on doing runs on the switch virtual console, but obviously, Id need it to get added to the platforms section. The new platform shows potential for speed running as well, because of easier controls, allowing for better Shine Sparking, and the reliable rewind feature (though there may have to be rules about the use of that). Anyway, is there any way it can get added?
Oh, cool. I thought this was going to be a 29 hour RTA run lol.
