I'm glad to announce that all IL leaderboards have now been converted to IGT timing! A few things to note regarding this change: -All IL submissions now require video (please make sure that the in-game timer is readable). Screenshots will not be accepted. -When submitting, subtract the flagpole time from the initial time on the clock to get your final time (ex: 1-1 starts at 500, so a 454 would equate to 46s). -Please still start your videos from the world map (loading times are the most reliable method we have to distinguish between console and emulator). -IW leaderboards are unaffected by this change.

so this is a thing now https://pastebin.com/Erp4vD6s

With the new rule change allowing people to do runs of world RTAs from completed files, a run I had completed of the world 1 RTA obliterated the past WR held by Auchgard by 41 seconds, although the run by Auchgard was far better and more optimized. Similar to how there is an option in the 3-4 IL to run with or without the switch, I am proposing that there be an option to specify whether you have completed the world RTA from either a completed or new file. This would be a fairly easy change to implement, and I feel that it would be more fair to those who have runs on new files. I would love to hear your responses!

Hey all, I haven't really been active on this site at all, but I, along with some help from pimdegoedste, have discovered a 10 second time save in the low% category, involving a route improvement. In this route, you take a forced death in 5-1 to change the vine cycles, allowing you to skip the Piranha Plant fight. The vines still work out with 5-4 and the ghost house as well. Low% isn't a very seriously taken category anyways, but maybe this will direct some popularity towards it. :P
