If I do a speedrun on wii U (you can use homebrew to inject DS games into the built-in DS emulator) will it be allowed on the leaderboards

lmao

So, even if the run is an awful time and isn't anywhere near the top of the leaderboard, it has to have a video?

I owned the game on DSi of all things, and I recall it being very similar, maybe even identical, to the PC version. It definitely didn't have a "+" in the name.

Yeah, I believe that would be considered a hack, meaning it's supposed to have its own leaderboard under the "Cave Story hack" directory/group.

Yes, but you can't change the audio to make different audio queues with the original music.

Nice, now the leaderboards are wiped for normal and bad ending. What was the point of removing them in the first place?

It seems pretty silly that simply because there weren't that many runs on the leaderboard, it got removed. Even if it's less than, say, best ending, doesn't mean that it shouldn't be considered as a category. Even worse when you say that you'll bring it back if someone has a run of the other categories, because then it will be the only run on the leaderboard, making it more 'irrelevant' than it was before you removed them.

There were categories for the different endings, as well as for the different version (Cave Story+). For some reason, they were removed several months ago.
