The current any% route is already glitchless. None of the known glitches are useful in any% currently. There is one spot in 125 crystals that uses wrecking ball's super jump glitch, but other than that, it's all glitchless.

Getting all the powers from the dojo takes a higher level than you'd get in a normal playthrough to unlock them all. there are a lot of powers/upgrades you can get there, and you can only unlock 2 per level.

I don't know if there is an easy way to see that all quests have been completed, but the rest can be seen on the bottom screen tabs.

the wallet/butterfly bottle/mushroom bag/keychain upgrades are just purchased from bears, so that just needs grinding for gems to get them all.

I think that it would make sense to divide it if there were more runners. Here's the useful glitches I know so far:

infinite jumps - they could possibly be allowed in a nmg category for smaller skips? like the very start of the run where I double jump to grab the key behind spyro, or in bear forest to get up to certain platforms without needing glide or doing the tedious block moving.

that wall clip/upwarp thing - right now i've only done it at the final boss tower, but I am suspicious that it works elsewhere. There's an old darkspyro forum post that mentions something similar happening in the mole area.

infinite eggs - After completing the fairy's quest to put out fires, she will give you an egg every time you reload the room and talk to her. I'm assuming that's what happened to the 41 egg 100% run,but i wouldnt be surprised if another egg could be duplicated.

Alright so this was a lot more doable than I expected it to be. I'm only using it to enter the 2nd boss right now, along with some small skips that only need 2-4 jumps. It's easier to get two relics for boss 1, and I found a better way to get into the final boss arena without relics.

Encountered a video today that shows a way to jump infinitely without any upgrades. This could make the game very very fast, but unfortunately, it is frame perfect. I tested it in a TAS program. In order to do this glitch, you have to jump the frame after dashing. you can either hold R and alternate tapping the D-pad and B, or hold the D-pad and alternate tapping B and R. the time between jumping and dashing is more lenient, but you must always dash then jump the frame after.

This might end up a TAS only strat, but it's cool, and I've gotten at least 7 jumps in a row while testing this on hardware.

I see that 100% has one run but no rules. What all is required for 100%? I'm interested in trying it.

Which of these are required: All quests, all eggs, wallet / butterfly bottle / mushroom bag / keychain upgrades, max level (25) and powers from dojo?

Max level could be grindy but I've had worse grinds in 100% categories before (bakugan dotc).

I didn't do quite as much as I would've liked to this year, but I enjoyed what I did do! I have plans for more games, but I haven't gotten around to it yet. Gonna do all four bakugan DS games in the same run sometime.

Why are IOS and Android listed as consoles on this game if they aren't official releases and aren't permitted for speedruns?

Heya! I didn't know that you could do this. That is absolutely allowed. I will likely make the endings seperate categories once someone submits a run with that ending.

Iowa, USAKory_2 years ago

Are you planning on running any of the existing categories? full gane or individual level. I'm also curious to see what those out of bounds clips look like if you could repeat one on video. WR doesn't have any glitches or skips yet and I feel like that'd be a good place to start looking.

Iowa, USAKory_2 years ago

Heya! I'm glad you have an interest in speedrunning! I requested & moderate this game's page. For this game, having a Death category would be incredibly trivial and boring, and for that reason, I won't be adding it. What do you mean by clipping out of bounds by the way? I haven't seen that happen with this game at all.

Iowa, USAKory_2 years ago

Grats on the run! Its been a while since I retimed, here's the retiming sheet. Feel free to submit any ILs you want using the times on the right side there.

I think that https://www.speedrun.com/skylanders_extensions is the leaderboard with the most console options right now, at 17. I want to know if anyone can find a board with more options! Some multi game boards don't list any consoles, so I reckon something like Multiple Mario Games would have this if it listed consoles.

iirc speedrun.com has a console option for ps5 backwards compatibility, if the distinction between ps4 and ps5bc is important, then the mods could add that.

Iowa, USAKory_3 years ago

PC has much faster load times. runs will still need to show proof beforehand.

Hello, I'm a moderator of https://www.speedrun.com/ssf3ds I would like a colon to be added to the title of the board so that it would read Skylanders: Swap Force [3DS] Thank you!

I'm keeping a spreadsheet of information related to this game, and although it is very disorganized, it has useful information. The first sheet contains average times for each character beating the first level of the game.
