If you want to request a new category, please go to this thread: https://www.speedrun.com/smbce/thread/wshi8
Individual Levels were a thing a few years ago, but they were removed, because there were TONS of runs to verify, and a lot of them were just tied world records, so there was no reason to keep these leaderboards. That was a decision of all moderators of SMB1.
World 2 Any%, World 3 Any% etc (start at beginning, warp to and beat X world) is fun at least as a race, imo. that's essentially what Beat 5-4 is, but i don't see IWs or ILs being added back, and that'd be a main board thing anyway. the CE page is already swamped w/ submissions
Yes, categories that not too hard for verify by this amount of moderators are rejected, becuase somebody not like it. THINK ABOUT OTHERS, MODS! A lot of good runs and catgeories are unknown. And Anti-Pacifist emty category is on leaderboard. Why so there is now categories with 10th or more players, who would like to do it?
Uninteresting no effort categories get a ton of submissions while good categories get few. Do you think for example Blindfolded with just 1 run should be replaced by "1-1 Star Mario", "1-1 Big Mario", "World 1 L+R", "World 2 Any%" or whatever other crap lazy people are coming up with, because those have more runs?
Why replaced? Another more for my opinion. For me if categoru not free to do WR and intresting like Double kill, it can be allowed to leaderboard. Anyway, I'm not moderator, so I can't do anything, but I wish people to know about insane, but unknown world records in rejected categories.
oh I have a good idea. 1-1 as Small Fire Star Mario 10 Walljumps Pacifist Walkathon Second Quest Warpless L+R AISSON STAGEO YEAAAA 1 Warp Deathless No Infinites One Handed Blindfolded
please it took me 5 minutes to write that, please accept it!!!
how can it be warpless, 1 warp, and world 1-1 only
I understand you, mods, but you didn't leave any choice for other people. Only current mods can submit any category or another SMB game to speedrun.com. And how @i_o_l, you can choose what category is good and what bad? A lot of people, even if they are not lazy, can't ever complete blindfolded run, they are just not blessed for it. I think people have right to do what they can and what they want. And lot of unoffcial categories have totally not free WR's. If I could choose, I would like you to make another game of SMB on speedrun.com and add more mods, if you don't want to verify this runs. It was already discussed, but you weren't impressed. So, if you willn't, please, can you think about better idea of unoffcial leaderboard then pastebin or google doc? And how @i_o_l uninteresting categories can have ton of submissions? Probably people were interested if they ran it. It's not your game, mods, it's game for all world. I can deal with situation and give up, but why not satisfy both sides, if we can? I think. I'm not only one, who think so. Really, how much categories were added after requesting? 1,2,3? Why only you choosing what intresting for people and what not?
Hey Folks!
Just wanted to announce a new change to timing methods for both 11x categories. The new timing standards are as follows:
- Timing starts from power-on/reset (or game select if you're using one of the combo cartridges).
- Timing ends on grabbing the axe on the 11th run.
- Time betw
