I've been researching a bit to see if this was a doable challenge, and for the most part, it is.

So far the only instances of magic I haven't been able to avoid are the waves to activate the switches on the water stage, and the phoenix to destroy the shield of the final boss' first phase.

I also suck at this game so I'm writing here in case I missed any potential glitches or clips that could be useful for those cases.

This feels like a fun category that I'd try, but first I want to make sure it's possible.

Basically get every bottle in every level from a new save (new save mostly so you have to unlock the bonus levels).

This includes all 20 levels, all 10 bonuses, and their corresponding Floor Is Lava versions.

I did a run of it. I'm really bad so it took me more than an hour, but this can go 4X or even 3X minutes with someone that actually knows how to play.

(Video might still be processing)

I was looking to do a 100% run because I've lost control of my sanity, but I have some questions about the rules.

  1. Is there any mandatory version? Normally I wouldn't ask this, but since 100% requires all achievements and more get added every update, I don't know if this requires latest version, or if it even requires DLC.

  2. What about the break? Does it have a maximum duration? If not, is it necessary to stream the whole break? Thinking about just using that as a sleep break cause there is no way I finish it in less than 24h lol

Anyway, yeah, those are the questions I have, thanks in advance.

I've had a run pending verification for 4 months now (since March 25th).

I've looked up the mods, and only one of them has been active recently. I know IRL exists, but it seems weird to wait for this long on a game that is not that active and that has three different moderators.

I'm not one to usually do these kinds of posts, but this is the longest I've ever had to wait on a run. If this serves to fix any possible problems with mods (or something of the sorts), then great. If I was just impatient, then I'm sorry.

Does the Emissary need to be killed on All Bosses? I'm not sure since it's technically a NG+ thing, and the True Ending category already exists.

So the site icon (the one in the browser tab, normally the trophy icon) somehow changed to the one I had like 3 years ago in my theme.

I don't see any way at all to restore it back in the theme settings, profile settings or global settings.

Any help?

I haven't tested enough, but I think the new minigame is required for the True Ending now. And also, routing might be different due to some position changes on puzzle pieces.

What should the ruling on the new update be?

(Personally, since there are so few runners of this, I'd say do like Hollow Knight or A Hat in Time, and just use a Patch variable. Maybe in the future, when more people run this, an actual subcategory should be made, but for now I'd say a variable is enough)

So, I did a run of All S-Ranks on Normal mode. The category is self-explanatory, but just in case: Create a playlist with all songs, and get an S-Rank in all of them. If you fail, restart the track until you get it. (That means you can keep trying, the run doesn't die if you get hit.)

Here's the link to the run (Mortal Kombat got silenced, so I'm uploading it to YouTube as I'm writing this):

I'm not sure if this could become an actual category or not, it's pretty much the equivalent of a 100% category.

Also, if this gets added, a subcategory for Normal/Hardcore would need to be added, but that's about it.

As of improvements on the run itself, here are the main timesaves from my run:

  • Failed Termination Shock around the middle of the song.
  • Failed Lycanthropy three times at the beginning due to me being bad.
  • Failed Wicked twice at the first checkpoint mark.
  • Failed Paper Dolls three times on the first half of the song.
  • Failed at the very beginning of Commando Steve.
  • Failed around the middle of Tokyo Skies.
  • Failed Dance Of The Incognizant twice because I tried to do the cheese.
  • Failed twice at the very end of Fox.
  • Failed three times around the middle of Core.
  • Failed a grand total of nine times on Mortal Kombat because I'm bad at this game.
  • Failed three times on Deadlocked.
  • Failed Strike The Earth! at the second checkpoint.
  • Failed In The Halls Of The Usurper almost at the end.

All in all, sub 2h is possible. Thoughts?

Announcing the A-Z challenge! A Multi-console, multi-game race (similar to the Big 20) where people have to beat a game for every letter of the alphabet!

Game list reveal will be on December 8th on my channel: https://www.twitch.tv/juegariel

Race itself will be on February 16th 2019 so you have a lot of time to learn the games!

Discord (almost empty, but I'll be posting the news there, feel free to join :) ) : https://discord.gg/gaRwnF8

By the way, the race will be done on one of the SpeedGaming channels.

I was planning on doing an "All achievements" run, but there's a problem, some of the songs require 2 or 4 players, and since I don't have enough controllers nor friends (that play just dance), I was thinking if it would be a good idea to make those achievements not required.

So, I have submitted a run around a month ago and it hasn't been verified/rejected yet. There are 2 options:

  1. The mods are not active and we need new mods.
  2. There are too many submissions that the mods get too busy.

If it's the second one, sorry for making this post. But if it's the first one, I hope mods can see it.

Due to the game's mechanics, the only way to gain or lose time is by menuing. But maybe we can also skip some speed boosts just to save some more seconds...

I've tried to skip every speed boost in the game but I have only managed to do it on TOE2 (skipped the slow speed boost after the first ship part) and in Geometrical Dominator (Skipped the slow speed boost after the wave part into the UFO part with the switches) but that one is incredibly difficult.

What do you think? Should we try to implement these on the runs?

Hello! I'm new here, thanks to the Time-Attack Roulette Marathon. After playing the game and making my first run (which I didn't record but it was a 59:39), I realized that I'm loving this game! But I have some questions...

  1. Is there any tricks I should know? Or is it just map knowledge?

  2. Are there any version differences?

  3. What would be a nice goal time?

How can I keep track of the subcategories? Everytime i open the game's splits, the subcategory is set by default on Mario, changing the World Record.

How can the piranha plant be skipped? I don't understand that :/

So I want to try out the classic and all-stars categories but I don't have a Wii U. Can I use the 3ds version instead?

I have seen that there is an actual discord server for SMB3 but all the invitations I have seen were made a long time ago.
