Since there is a new Patch where checkpoints where changed for some tracks, i added a Subcategory for old patch runs and new patch runs for the following:

Time Attack SC: Speed Vault, Applied Gravity, Neons Ride, Gravity Workshop, Obstacle Race

Time Attack No SC: Gravity Workshop

If there is found more things that makes a time much slower it will be added here to inform you. hope they dont make more patches like this

is anyone interested in shorter categories too? I thought running basically the segments of both full game runs as Individual levels so

• Single board with difficulties and rules like the all board run
• Minigames having 2v2 mini games as one category, 3v1 as one... Those are the two that would makes sense (in my opinion) It would also be practice for the longer runs and some people like shorter runs. Just asking around if anyone is interested cause when i am the only one it wouldnt make sense to add it

do you think this category is necessary? no one seems to have run it once and it just looks like a waste of space

i created a Server, with the intention that maybe will bring a few people back to playing the game. it is also a way to share the in game time trial leaderboards cause every console has their own.

Feel free to join! you have to write your role first in "welcome" before having access to most channels if i did everything correctly. if you find anything in the discord that shouldnt be or have better ideas, let me know.

DLC Spiritboard NG: You are now allowed to change your controls before starting the run. Starting point of the timer does not change

World of Light NG: i feel like it doesnt matter that much anyway cause you only need C-Stick but i think changing controls before this should be fine too

Challenges: I don't know if we should add this here cause there is a lot of menuing in some of these so it is kinda part of it. If someone really wants the rule to be there too or has something against it in general discuss it in this thread

So a few things:

(IL= Individual Level)

1. Time Attack (IL) can a non switch player tell me if they see a jay on the track "Ready, Set, Go!" on global leaderboard on 3rd place? that way i can tell if the in game board is for every console together or not, just you know. Probably make it a category either way.

2. Quick Race (IL) only problem i have here is what should be the timing method? In game time can be inaccurate cause after you are done with a race, it wont tell you the total in game time, only the best lap. RTA will be inaccurate with ms too so still unsure what to do here.

3. Hot wheels city rumble (Full game Leaderboard) timing method? id like to do RTA, problem: the different loading times accross the consoles, dont know how heavy they are. maybe someone can make a timer that only runs during gameplay. And about the categories itself: i would split into 9/9 Secrets uncovered, 5/5 Boss Races, 32/32 Time Attacks, 52/52 Quick Races and 100% (doing everything on the board).

Is there a Discord? or is the speedrunning community not big enough for it to be worth it

Someone made break the targets where you can run different stages with specific characters. it looks pretty good, check it out https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1s0th28K0UlXgjiaopsF7ZTbmdYAdEarG8-bCjLMWvCI/htmlview#gid=0

why aren't there individual level?

so i made a spreadsheet now. just put things there that were requested. We can discuss now what we can put on these boards and if you are fine with what i've already added to it (and the design of it, still would change things but i'm tired). If you have any ideas for new categories, that make at least a little bit of sense, you can show them under this thread, write me a private message here or on discord.

That's my christmas gift for ya

So lately there were some runs from new people that did not include the section with "Let's go" in their video. That's where the timing starts and that is important for the speedrun of course. I hope you can understand that these runs got rejected. Just wanted to make aware of it cause i saw it happen more often currently.
