Texas, USAHey guys! The Discord has been very chatty lately about a new update coming within the next couple weeks! It will be coming with fixes to Worlds 1-3 and a new World 4.
That being said, All World Any% and 100% runs will be deleted¤ when a new world is released, since they no longer qualify. This is true for future updates, as well. Please keep this in mind when you run!
¤see below: Instead of deleting, we will move them to a miscellanious category.
I don't think we need NG+, since players should play the levels in order. For timing, RTA seems like the way to go.
Is it this line in the rules that confused you? "Although it may qualify for multiple records, an endurance run can only be submitted once. This will help us maintain an accurate rice count."
You can do as many endurance runs as you want, as long as you have separate videos for each! This above is just saying you should not submit the same video of a Basic Math run for
- Basic Math Endurance
- Math All Subjects Endurance
- and an All Subjects Endurance run, even though it qualifies for all three.
Does that make more sense? Let me know how I could change the rules to clear it up
Hey guys! If you have time, please make these conversions.

Thank you! :D
Hey Rellikk! I'd love to join you and help implement the pages/rules for each of the games in the series. Please let me know if I can help!
Hey Bat, welcome to the leaderboard!
For your first question, here are examples of what your runs would qualify for: You run Basic Math, then restart your timer and run anything else -- these count for separate endurance categories. You run Basic Math, keep the timer running, and run Multiplication -- this only counts for Math All Subjects. You run Basic Math, keep the timer running, and run Geography -- this only counts for All Subjects.
For your second question, yes, you should keep the timer running :D (Speedrun the bathroom!)
It would be good to start off by submitting a short video (like 100 grains) so we can make sure you got the rules down. Wouldn't want you to do a 10000+ grain run only to get it rejected!
Let me know if this clears things up!
Welcome @NihilistComedyHour! Thanks for submitting awesome runs :D
@SioNisti, welcome to the leaderboard! As GreeFoss mentioned, you can join the Discord (link in the forum) to chat with all the runners. They can help you figure this out as well!
In game timer is not allowed for the runs, as it does not count loading times between finishing a level and starting the next one. Are you using a floating timer? What type of device do you have? For Android, I would suggest using Floating Timer or Floating Speedrun Timer. Both function well on my Samsung device.
If you can't get a timer to work on your phone:
- Download this video:
- Use ShotCut or another video editor to edit in the timer, starting at when Cat Bird hits the ground in the first level. Hopefully you won't have to use this method as it takes a long time!
I record using Fraps and time with LiveSplit.

If you have a different way of recording and timing, please share!
NOTE: I'm here to help make it easy for you to run this game. If anything is unclear or you need more suggestions on how to get things working, please ask!

On Samsung S7, I use the native recording app and sometimes DU Recorder to record my games. Each has its perks. For the timer, I use a simple app called floating timer. It can get in the way of your playing, so make sure its in a good spot before you start recording.
On Amazon Kindle, I use SmartPixel to record, upload to Facebook, download, and add a timer in a video editing software called ShotCut. I'm not sure if this specific game is on that device, though.

Nice run, @jocloud31! For future reference, please use the millisecond option in Floating Timer so your time can be calculated more accurately :D (I'll need to figure out your exact time before I verify it)
Hey everyone! Discord server is up and ready to roll -- https://discord.gg/TWhTPst
For users new to Discord: This is a gamer's chat platform that allows us to talk about Cat Bird Speedrunning. Join us to talk about strats, personal bests, game updates, and more!
@jocloud31, I currently record through my phone's microphone, no root needed. The only bad part is when I accidentally cover my phone's speaker. Otherwise, I think it records sound pretty well.
@cleverpidgeon let's just follow his Twitter and see if he says anything: https://twitter.com/raiyum?lang=en Good point about input methods -- again, feel free to try it for your first runs.
Discord is ready, let's continue conversations here: https://discord.gg/TWhTPst
Autofire should be regarded as a default ban -- I haven't seen any speedrun communities that would allow that. Double mapping, hmm. There's probably some way this could be exploited. Regardless, if we ban them, how do we moderate that? This is why I'm hesitating on alternative input methods. It is very hard to track if someone is exploiting the system or giving themself an unfair advantage.
@cleverpidgeon That OBS app looks good to me. Tell me more about autofire and double mapping -- what do they do exactly? Discord -- sure, I'll create one over the weekend and will also make you a Discord mod.
@jocloud31 and @HowDenKing -- saw you talking about recording this game on the speedrun Discord. If you still have concerns, come to me. I want you to speedrun the game and record it correctly -- however, the process of recording and publishing videos should also be made really easy for you. @jocloud31, I saw you talking about root and editing videos -- you shouldn't need either depending on what type of phone you have. Do you need help finding a better recording app? Also, how is floating timer working for you?
Go ahead and try it -- let me know in your submission if you used it or not :)
