Illinois, USAHey, there.
I have done some runs of the game (lost the highlights unfortunately) on PS4 and have noticed that the runs on PC use some sort of movement that I've been calling "drunk bee".
It appears they are zigzagging back and forth really fast using the mouse controls which I don't believe is something that can be done on console.
Do you think it might be beneficial to split the board out into the separate platforms? Maybe not all four, but potentially a split between PC and Console? I don't know if there are significant loading differences between PS4, Switch, and XBone.
If not, that's fine. I would like to eventually do some runs on PC regardless when I get a new machine.

Please vote in this poll. Existing runs (at this point, only one) will be retimed to accommodate.
A few months back I completed what I was calling a "Cupid" run, where all 5 rival marriages have to happen and timing ends on the first wedding bell of the 5th marriage.
It's been requested that I add the category for visibility and so others can see it as a possibility to run the game if they're interested.
The question is, what do we call it? Please vote below.
Set this up a while ago and never linked it on sr.com!
Come chat and ask questions about the runs!
This is a Discord channel for chatting about running all the various titles as well as general chat about the series.

Could we get a new category for Marriage? The SNES Harvest Moon has something similar.
We could separate it by the 5 girls or just have one category. Either way would work.
Loved the game as a kid, but never could beat it without Game Genie. Finally sat the game down a couple weeks ago and struggled my way through it. Figured I'd give speedrunning it a shot. Today was my first run after ~2 weeks of work. Every chapter still requires a lot of work, but I think 3 and 7 are my major time losses.

I don't have the means to record from my NES as of yet and I only use emulator to practice certain sections, but I do have some pictures!
(My Chapter 1 split was right when I left the dungeon, which is why it's so early. I fixed it later!)

Game in NES: 
Victory!: 
My long term goal is to get 1:10 or below!
