What is this game, where can I get it?

Hey, so the current categories (Short, Medium, Long, Marathon Game) are not really suited for speedrunning. Unlike Mario Party, or other party games, the order of the games isn't random, and given that most of the minigames have timers, there really isn't much to improve except for getting the fastest game list.

So I thought of deleting those categories and making just a category for the minigames that aren't timed (and you can actually improve). You can do this by creating a custom game and choosing only those minigames. I think it would be better than doing an hour of timed games in which there is nothing to do but wait for the timer to run out.

The same would apply to the categories of Monster Rumble and Dino Den. What do you think? I can come up with the list of not-timed games btw.

Hey, it says on one of the categories that there is a "Dungeon Skip". How do you do it and what's it like? Cause I would like to do a run but I can't find any reference about it on the internet.

Hey, so I was about to do a "Kill all Enemies" run, but I only found 20 out of 21 enemies. Where is the last one?

So far I found: Tutorial - Enemy 1, 2 Ice Area - Boss and Enemy 3 Grey Area - Enemy 4 Green Center - Enemy 5 Poison Area - Boss and Enemy 6 Grass Area - Enemy 7, 8 and 9 Small Desert - Enemy 10, 11 and 12 Small Area below the desert - Enemy 13 "Town" - Enemy 14 Big Desert - Enemy 15, 16 and 17 Final Boss Area - Boss and Enemy 18, 19 and 20

I searched through all the areas but I still can't find it. Where is the enemy 21?

Hey, I was considering speedrunning these but there are no rules and I don't understand what the categories are supposed to be. What does Demo Warp mean? When does time start/end? Same for Collect Peng.

Currently the only two categories on this game are really long. Could you add ILs categories for completing only one of the Street Master Mode stories? i.e Emi's story, Rage's story, etc. It could also have the 2 modes for each level as well, Normal and Advanced.

Sorry, I'm just kinda confused by the title. I would like to speedrun this, but I don't know what this is supposed to be. Is this a game? Where can I play this? Is it something that comes with a dance pad? Or is it from some obscure platform or something? Cause I didn't find much about it online.

Hey, so I was trying to complete this game in order to do a speedrun of it, but at dungeon 7 there seems to be a part where it's impossible to progress. There's a room where you need to get a key using the raft, but given that the dock is placed on a corner of the room you can't actually go back and use the raft again. So you basically get softlocked without being able to move from that tile. Is there a way to avoid this or am I just missing something? Do I end the run there?

Hey, I was considering speedrunning this but I can't find this mod online. I know the original game is on steam and I even found the link to download the mod on the steam forums, but it's expired.

So I was wondering, where or how can I play this game?

Hey, so I downloaded the Ancient demo from the resources section of this leaderboard and I was planning to speedrun this possibly. It seems to be a really early build, and at a certain part the game just starts getting really unconsistent. At one point, the platforms hitboxes start to glitch and you have to be really careful with your jump in order to get on them. The problem is that one of the platforms gets you into the next area, and when transitioning the hitboxes restart, which makes you fall through the platform and go back into the previous area. So, because you can't jump on the next area, you always end up going down, thus it becomes impossible to progress. Is there a way to prevent this or something? Is that actually the end of the demo? Did I download something wrong? Cause apparently I can't go past that area.

Hey, I was wondering because I'm a bit confused as to what the actual time of a certain run is on a game I mod.

This is the current WR of the game: https://www.speedrun.com/vpvd/run/zg7g850z I use yt-frame-timer to retime all runs and in this case it says that this video's framerate is 59 fps. Now because of this when I first retimed I got a time of 10.288, but then I decided to check again and by using the same starting and ending frame I got a 10.305. I then tried doing the same once more and got a 10.288 again.

So basically my question is: How do I actually retime runs with 59 fps or other weird numbers? And also, could this framerate imply an advantage over other players, given that this is a really precise category with differences by milliseconds between runs?

Hey, just commenting here that the WR by Surrept on Stage 5 is wrongly timed: It says it's 5.600 but the actual time is 6.633. Could you check this and fix it? Thanks.

Hey, I was about to run the ILs but I'm a bit confused about the timing. "Time ends when the level is finished" What's that supposed to mean? When does the level end? When the last square is completed or when the transition to the next level starts? Same goes for when do I start the timer on every level except the first one.

Hey, I don't know if I'm playing an unofficial version or something, but it seems the game has been updated and some levels have been changed completely. I just did a run of 1-3, then checked the WR and the level is really different, which makes it a lot shorter. Also the timer isn't on screen anymore. What happens with the changed levels now?

Hey, I was planning on speedrunning this game but I'm kinda confused about the glitches. What counts as a glitch and what doesn't?

Like for example I can skip the cutscene at the door by crouching, and I can go faster on the stairs by doing the same thing. Does those things count as glitches?

Also, I was wondering how you do the locker skip, or whatever is called.

Hey, I was trying to get WR for 100 Points Countryside but I don't understand, when does the timer starts? Cause for some of the WRs the time doesn't seem to be 1.710 so I'm a bit confused. Are the runs retimed?

Hey, I thought I would let you know that TooC, the current WR holder, has been discovered to cheat in another 2 games. He got 2 fake WRs by speeding up the runs. I don't know much about the game, but if nobody managed to perform the glitch except for him, then there is a high chance that he might have modified the game files, in order to perform that weird glitch and get WR by half the time than 2nd Place.

Hey, just telling you over here that the WR by Ashwani was stolen from me. We found out he pretty much stole or sped up every single run he did. You can compare both runs and see that they are exactly the same, even the start has the same time of "12.5" with the message outlined by the mouse below it. He probably did the same for the hurdles run, but I didn't check that one.

Also, I would like to ask if I could be a mod for this game, but in the case that I can't, could you fix what I mentioned? Thanks.

Hey, I noticed my run and others are wrongly timed because of the rules: It says time starts on first frame of movement, but because the first movement is off camera, you don't actually know when is the first input for each player, so all those 9 seconds runs might be longer/shorter and we can't actually know. I think the rules should be changed to start the timer on a frame that can actually be verified. Like, starting when you press skip on the first cutscene.

Also, I would like to ask if I could be mod for this game. But if I can't be, then could you fix what I mentioned? Thanks.

Hey, I know I just got my run rejected because the original version doesn't exist anymore. But why can't we use other unofficial recreation?

The version I used is pretty much identical to the original, at least the first level that I ran, compared to the other runs on the leaderboard, so I don't see why it couldn't be used if it's pretty much the same.

I'm probably missing something, but just wanted to ask this and, in case it isn't possible to bring it back, to at least have an explanation here as to why these leaderboards don't accept runs anymore, so that anyone else that considers doing a run in the future knows they aren't available anymore.
