Hi there!

Now that the Any% Category is basically fully optimized it would be cool to have a new category to run just for fun and see the routes people will come up with. "All Events" can be really time consuming, so here's my suggestion for something a little bit shorter:

All Minigames / Minigames%:

Timing starts once you gain control of Tomba and ends once you beat (once) all three minigames, in no particular order:

EVENTS REQUIERED:

- Quick! The Trolley!

Clear: Ride down to the goal in the trolley within 1 minute and 16 seconds.

- Wash the Kujara:

Clear Level 4 of washing the Kujara.

- Tiny Mouse's Berry Nuts

Clear: Collect 100 Berry Nuts for the mice. You will acquire the Minitta Mushroom as a reward.

What do you guys think? Feel free to share other ideas for new categories!

Hi there!

Planning to run this game. Bitterblack Isle (Any%) Category looks pretty fun and challenging: not too short, not too long. It has only few runs and the WR is 3 years-old. Don't know if it can be optimized further, but I guess some newer strats from base Any% are viable in this category too.

Main Question: is there a Category where you need to defeat Daimon Awakened Form too?

Thx!

Hey there!

Any major difference between JP and NTSC on Any% Emulator?

Thnx

So, I finally analyzed and timed all the Top 10 runs on the leaderboard and this is what I got.

To keep the leaderboard skill-based, fair and the competition alive I think it's time to make some changes to the Categories.

The more precise thing to do would be to re-time runs without time loads (or at least without the main ones: Area Loads and Warps), but that would take a lot of extra work for each new submit.

The smartest thing to do imho is to split the leaderboard in two and have a PS2/PSP/PSTV Category and PS1 one. You can also split it into three and having the JAP version separated from the USA one (but I think emulator runners will always prefer the fastest one).

Obsolete runs from players who switched to a more "enhanced" version of the game should be re-integrated into the new Leaderboards.

I think that having more than one Category is more fun, and would allow player to chase a PB in every single one them.

Let me know what you think. I hope this can be helpful to the community!

Hi there!

I'm interested in Any% Beginner on Xbox (Series S). Is the game faster on PC? Is there any major timesave you can't perform on Xbox, or the console Category simply hasn't been grinded enough yet?

Thx!

Hi there! I just started running this game (N64 version) and I'm unsure to which Category should I submit my runs.

Unfortunately, I'm on Mac (I know...) and the only working N64-emulators are OpenEmu (mupen64plus core) or Sixtyforce, but I don't know if the rules are ok with these. Also, I don't seem to find a way to display my input on macOS.

My other option would be playing it on a modded Wii. Does this fall under the N64 Category or the N64 EMU one?

Thank you for the help!

Rocket Slime have a japanese "prequel" for GBA that looks pretty cool. This game doesn't even have a Leaderboard on this site.

Is anyone from this community interested in running it? I think that if we start learning the game as a group would be a lot of fun!

Hi there! I'm willing to start running this game, probably starting from NG+ category (cause is shorter). Is there a guide on how and where perform the glitches for the run?

Thanks!

I've found this video: by altabiscuit but, is there a more detailed guide on how to perform the glitches and how they work?

Thanks!

Why isn't there a Glitchless Category?
