I don’t understand. Why can’t it be on the main leaderboards, under a tab? 2p as it is is getting almost no recognition. I bet most people don’t know the 2p WR is over 2 minutes faster than the 1p WR, and that there’s tons of cool strats that aren’t used in 1p.

I really just don’t get it.

So now that 1.0.0 has a place to be ran, I wanted to clear up some misconceptions about it that some people seem to have. I’d like to see this category get some runs.

First of all, you do not need to delete all save data for all of your switch games, assuming you can borrow a switch from a friend (or for some reason own 2). You can transfer all your profiles over, after deleting all odyssey save data, then wipe your switch. You set it back up, turn off auto-updates, and you transfer your profiles back over. You can then update your games from the shop, and everything is fine. You have odyssey version 1.0.0 for your timesave, and none of your other games are affected. Your friends switch isn’t effected either; they keep all their save data.

If you don’t care about the save data for your other games, you don’t need another switch. Just factory reset yours, and make sure to turn off auto-updates.

As a final note, this only works on physical versions of the game. The main reason 1.0.0 is faster is because you can skip the first moon in the game, which skips capturing the chain chomp, the rock break cutscene, the moon get cutscene, the bridge falling cutscene, and the scene where cappy tells you about the odyssey. This puts you about 45 seconds ahead, albeit 1 moon behind. The current fastest known route is to go straight to madame broode, then get the moon on the cliff, then the moon in the chest in the cave. Here is a video showing what the skip looks like: https://twitter.com/kehzou/status/940641962536738816
