Koopa Freerunning RTA

An idea for a new category. Timing would start at the start of the first race and end at the end of the last one. All races must be completed. There could be a video requirement at around 25 minutes. How does that sound?

By the way, here is a video of an okay-ish run I did of the category:

Just to clarify, timing starts after the countdown, when mario starts moving, correct? "start of the first race" is rather broad.

United States

Sorry for the lack of clarity. I personally think timing should begin at the end of the countdown, the point when you can first do an input in the race. Others think it should be at the beginning of talking to the first Koopa. I made a strawpoll about when timing should begin. http://www.strawpoll.me/14928399

Timing should start on IGT start of the first race and end on IGT end of the last race imo

United States

Most of us have agreed upon starting time at the beginning of the first race, I believe, so it seems like this will be the rule for starting time. Where to end timing isn't really in question here, though.

well "I'm in" is winning right now, and evenly spplit isnt right if its 2-6-7 votes

but im in is dumb

itll make resetting much harder. if its at go you can reset by literally just pressing reset in the koopa race

if its at im in, you have to exit the koopa race and watch the cutscene again. it just adds pointless time to the run

United States

When I said "most of us", I was referring to those of us who have done runs. Also, like SomeBroYouDontKnow stated, it makes resetting much harder. It would be a pointless inconvenience.

United States

The strawpoll was there initially because there was debate on the discord as to when to start timing. However, those of us running the game have agreed upon the convenience and practicality of timing beginning at the end of the countdown. When you do runs of KFRTA, feel free to use the "I'm in!" timing method if you want.
