Hello, me and a friend are planning on speedrunning Double Driver White Flags and we've noticed there were no runs available. Can the Double Driver Category be added in?

Hey, just a quick question: Is there a category expansion site planned for the Pokemon games? Some games like OoT, GTA etc have these for the fun little runs like OoT 420%, Vice City Seagull%, the meme runs for Link's Awakening like Fish the Pond% etc that would be too dumb for the actual game's pages. I could see the following runs to be in this category, some of which have been requested on the game's page but were not added as a category du to "any% being too short" or for other reasons:

  • Yellow: Any% Save Corruption, 0:00
  • Green: Any% Door Glitch
  • Gold: Mareep Route / Top Percentage Rattata Route
  • Ruby/Sapphire/Emerald: Fish the Feebas
  • Softlocking categories (do they exist?)
  • Red: Lawsuit%, Catch Mew

I'm sure a lot of you guys that have been speedrunning these games for more than the few months that I've been doing it will know a lot more meme% or possible race categories. Pls don't be mad if this is a dumb request, I know similar stuff has been asked before, but I'm a noob and really like silly, short and funny runs.

Edit: I could also try and provide youtube links for each these so that the leaderboards would not be empty. I know mods don't like empty pages.

Hey, I'm currently training the Amateur Any% Run of OlliOlli. During training I simply start up the game and run through all the Amateur levels. Now before I submit an actual run and go though the trouble of recording and uploading I have these questions about the rules:

  • Do I have to start on a new save file or can I run the already completed levels on my current save file? Running an already existing file eliminates the possibility of accidently 100%ing a level and spending time in the "You have unlocked a pro level"-screen, other than that it is practically the same as starting a new game.
  • If I can use an already completed save file, is the order in which I play through the levels/worlds relevant or can I decide for myself? I know it would probably use up some time in the level selection screen to do so, however I struggle a lot with the Base levels so I would like to start with these to determine early if the run is worth continuing - as of now I sometimes land every jump and grind perfectly up until Base 1, where I then crash a hundred times in a row and lose the run :D

I watched the current world record and I'm very eager to try my best at a top 3. This game is a lot of fun and a great start for a first speedrun for me, thanks to the uploaders and thanks in advance for an answer.

Hello, I'm very new to speedrunning and Trip World is my favourite game. The handful of runs I've seen were all Any% and there seems to be only the "Beat the Game" category here. Now there are 4 hidden Para bosses in the game and some optional bosses - how can I submit a new category to the game page called "All Bosses"? Because that would probably be my very first speedrun.

I just joined the site btw. looking forward to being a part of the speedrunning community from now on.
