Run Overview:

• The game is Another Crab’s Treasure
• The run will be Any% | Restricted | (V1.0.102.0+) Same as Gamepass
• Runs may be performed on either the Steam or PC Gamepass versions of the game, but not Console.
• Runs must start from the Title Screen, with the Patch number visibly shown

Category Rules

In Restricted runs, the following glitches are banned:

• Uppies (infinite jump glitch)
• Any form of up-warp or zip with a hammer charge attack (eg, Tissue Hammer)
• Infinite Grapple glitch
• Any form of unintended invulnerability (including permanent dodgeroll invulnerability in the Firth fight)
• Infinite Crystal glitch abuse
• Deloading zones to bypass terrain

Some examples of skips, glitches, and tech that are explicitly allowed:

• Any form of boss skip, regardless of whether or not the boss healthbar spawns in (eg; Camtscha skip, Inkerton skip)
• Clipping through walls, including level OoB invisible walls, by entering a shell behind them
• Depression Skip (gaining early full control of Kril after defeating Roland)
• Instantly killing bosses by baiting them off cliffs
• Walking on inter-level OoB geometry (eg, Voltai Early)
• Charged Attack Launches

Challenge Submission Requirements

• Runs must be streamed on Twitch / YouTube / other streaming services in order to be valid for the competition. If not streamed, runs may still be submitted, but will not be eligible for the prize pool.
  • Video proof must be permanent (i.e. Twitch Highlight / Youtube Video)
  • All HUD elements (bottom corners / boss HP bars) must be unobstructed during gameplay
  • Runs must have audio that is audible and noticeable. This means that in-game sound FX must be on. In-game music is optional. If audio is muted due to music or other reasons, those runs will not be accepted.
• Runs must use the Autosplitter / Load Remover that is found in LiveSplit.
• Runs must use an input display containing all inputs used. Can be any, the most common are these two:
  • Nohboard for KBM input.
  • Gamepadviewer for controller.
• FPS must be capped at 60 FPS.
  • Steam FPS overlay, Rivatuner, Microsoft Game Bar etc. should work fine.
  • There is no soft cap, runs must stay at the 60 FPS that is specified.
• Automash mod on Speedrun.com is allowed. It will be the only macro allowed for the competition.
• Multibinds are allowed as long as they are configured in-game.
• ControlMapping.usersettings.xml is the only allowed edited game file for additional binds. Altering game files in any other way is not allowed.
• Assist Mode is strictly prohibited from the run.

Timing

• Unless specified otherwise, runs are ranked by loadless time, achieved by using an autosplitter and load remover integrated with LiveSplit. (Make sure to set Compare Against to "Game Time", and make sure you open LiveSplit after the game is open to the main menu.)
• If not load removing, or if your LiveSplit with load remover is not clearly visible for the whole run, your real time with loads will be used instead.
• Pausing the timer manually will lead to all the time while paused (real time) being added to your final time.
