Basically you drop your items across the finish line, then cross it, then pick it back up before you get teleported. The blocks has a tag on it allowing you to place it on certain, but anywhere on the map. using the shears from iron course and the blocks from diamond course you can get out of the normal map area and be able to build a stairway back into the map. I have recorded the full process of breaking it here: (part 1, showing how I got the first items allowing complete freedom to do whatever) (part 2, breaking/editing the Redstone/map)
Emulator Rules: (These rules apply starting on January 25th, 2021) We are only accepting runs performed on the DeSmuME and Melon DS emulator (we may expand in the future)
The recording MUST Include: The full countdown before the race starts (3,2,1, GO!) Race results visible after the run. Game Sound/audio must be included and record live- Background sound and music is ok as long as the game is still audible. Runs that lag significantly more than a console run on the same track will not be accepted.
Replays will NOT be accepted for emulators, as in only recording what you get when pressing "View Replay"
DeSmuME (preferred emulator) Rules: These HUD features MUST be included, overlaid on top of the car window (not the timer screen), to be accept: Display FPS Display Frame Counter Display Lag Counter Display RTC (Use HUD Editing Mode to move them around, set font can change size of text so it is not as big, gse4x6 is the smallest I think)
One or both Input options must be included (Display Graphical Input and/or Display Input). It can be displayed anywhere on any screen. Any run uploaded prior to January 25th, 2021 can be grandfathered in for not having one of these two.
Example picture that includes all the HUD requirements can be found here:
Melon DS Rules: Just has to include the fps counter at the top of the screen and have sync audio checked (both are on by default)

Here is a possible skip? For java 100% 2 players, it requires punching each other to make the jump possible. For the last jump, you could try to sit in a seat if it makes it easier. (didn't have a 2nd player so I can't test it) https://ibb.co/hZDc2Jb
may want to look into this: Currently all the pre-approved level leaderboard runs involving exploits no longer follow the new rules. The main reason is that it states: "Must go through the whole tunnel." of which no exploit run does. (Under the old rules when it was glitch, any method of skipping was allowed). This applies to all individual levels including all sections. -Thanks
Question regarding timing. Since different devices would have different loading times when it comes to relogging, should a timing method be added to deal with this difference? Otherwise it might just come down to who has the better pc
maybe it could be added as a variable
Actually, presentation room skip for java would be be possible and real easy if 2 players were allowed
Method that doesn't softlock the map afterwards (for any other run besides any%)
The mods are going to have a fun time trying to time the full game any%.
The time is almost here for speedrunning to change forever! Premieres at 3:30 PM today (2 hours and a bit away): Hope to see you there

You may or may not know me and the work that I do.
The days are numbered
Marked my words....
(not a threat to anyone, but the game itself)
This happens if you are too good
your discord tag on speedrun is broken/not right, also if server hosting is easy we could do exploit %
