If any mods are around I was wondering if runs on emulators were allowed for leaderboard submissions. I could see why they wouldn't be but if they were they could possibly be faster and it would be easier to run and stream.

I just finished timing all of the grand prix races in single series to see if I could be skipping different races that are slower for me for a better time. It turns out that there are a few cases where the route skips a race that is faster for me than a race it doesn't skip. Does this mean I should get better at the races that aren't skipped or should I make a route that's faster for me? My real question is if the route skips the races it does because that's the only combination of races where we are still able to win the grand prix or because whoever made the route chose to skip the races that were just slower for him. Any input is appreciated.

Since I can't find any information anywhere on load time differences, I will be creating the information. Because I am completely new to speedrunning this game, I will test the loading times of my GameCube with and without a memory card and my Wii with and without a memory card. Keep in mind that there are different versions of both consoles I'm testing on so your results may vary. If this game is anything like WindWaker then I expect the GameCube load times will be faster.

hey im interested in running this game and im a lil confused by the category names. also are there time trial leaderboards anywhere for individual tracks?
