This has already been discussed on multiple threads and no one has really come to a conclusion so RTA is still used since it's the most used and simple way of timing.

You can easily load one savestate that shows before you start the stream and then it'll play out a few attempts and then a full run. I don't know the most about emulators, I just know that it is possible to cheat on stream. RNG manipulation via emulator is also a thing.

No, you can run a script or make inputs yourself to play out a whole run and stream it on Twitch or whatever. It actually isn't that hard might I add.

Dolphin is banned because it's very easy to make savestates and upload a cheated run.

I check the site daily, I moderate a series on here already and I've played this game on and off for years, so by the standards of what y'all have said here, I could be also be a good mod candidate tbh.

No, just at least 1 star with the exception of the hardest cup in the game for Rhode which he could not stop arguing with me about.

You can edit runs yourself, they'd just need to be reverified.

It's not WR because the video ends before the run ends. When the timing should end on the door closing, the video cuts before the pumkin guy, thing, whatever even starts to leave.

Edit: In fact, I think the run is actually more like a 1:34 or 1:35.

Edit 2: His obsolete run submitted as 1:34 is even worse lol.

Some menuing and an IL. ???? Yeah sounds great to me, I'd run it. (I used a thinking emoji, but Speedrun.com changed it to question marks)

There's very few kart runners so I think you're the only one who thinks that and tbh the leaderboards are a lot better now than they used to be.

I've done ILs in the past but can't submit and don't really have a reason to do them much, but if they get added that would be amazing. I'd honestly pick this game for up for at least a little while.

Me and Rhodechill argued about this on one or two other threads for 3-4 months on and off. Basically, you could, in theory, have a Galaxy save, get Rosalina early and butcher doing a single Mirror cup and get an A rank but still "unlock everything". I don't know for sure, but with neither of us testing it, he certainly knows for sure and is adamant about it!

I use Wiimote because it's what I've been used to for years and I'm good at shaking Wii remotes.

Yes, but this thread was from before that change.

Hey anyone remember this? Well I got a video finally.

How come it "appears in offline races" when I've never seen it? I've 100%ed the game multiple times over the years and used every possible controller accept for N64 and I know stars are only next to your name online. Did I not enter the konami code after every rankings screen while mashing A one-thousand times a minute to unlock the Mii Outfit C which puts stars next to your name after getting a World Record with it?

If the argument is old, why did you continue it for months?

Look, I don't care if it comes down to one mistake and a record is accepted because it did fall under the requirements despite one A rank, but you continued this with nothing to gain for a ridiculously long time.

^ No don't listen to him, he doesn't know what he's talking about half the time and hasn't shown any interest in this thread until the idea of a possible new mod came up.

Yeah online you get a symbol which softmodding isn't allowed, I'd also prefer if you don't mention like I'm a fraud, I've played this game for 7 years, I've done multiple runs and Time Trials and I especially did Unlock Everything myself. For those who aren't reading another thread, Rhode is salty because I said you need 1 star for everything but there's maybe one Mirror Mode cup that doesn't specifically require it, but that's irrelevant because you need to do terribly and usually not even get first place to get an A rank, which if you're speedrunning and doing well, you have nothing to worry about.
