United StatesMods can add runs that aren't done by them now. Just put "MarshmallowGibbons" or something in the name field when submitting.
[quote=Lance_]tell me about it with Super Mario 64 DS 150 1st place is a decent 30 minute faster with no video.[/quote]
Whoa. It's one thing to have a WR with no video, but to absolutely STOMP 2nd place without a shred of evidence (at least in the submission) should not be legal for speedrunning as a whole.
For that specific case, he has a video of his 80 Star run, which was done before his 150 Star one. He obviously had the opportunity to record, but for whatever circumstance, didn't. It'd be as if I started taking 1st for other C&C games without actually running them.
For runners with NO means of recording, take a picture of the game and some kind of clock (preferably atomic) before and after the run, it's not much, but if you commentate about the run afterwards it would be reasonable. For small games that'd usually be enough for 1st place, but don't expect games with 30+ runners to allow that.
That's on the list of thing to add. :)

The admins have been quite busy in real life so changes come a bit slow.
For prospective runners, there's a translation patch available, albeit not complete:

It should be fine to use. Final Fantasy V has a category for Any% w/ Translation Patch, so it wouldn't be the first. It would (hopefully) open up the game to more runners. There's also a patch for Telefang 2 which is complete aside from Denjuu descriptions:

Every level in the game can be done as a time trail, so having a leaderboard for each one seems handy. Shame that Line Trials can't be added until more options are added to the site.
If Real Time is used over Game Time, full-game runners can check their best segments and retime them for just the level to include on the board; otherwise it'd be time trial only, which would a lot more consistent in timing but wouldn't be done nearly as frequently I think.
Not surprised there's been no attempts at this. This is a tough game to git gud at. :p
Bombshell Kingdom would probably be the first stop since it has a Golden Eggplant, which would be very useful throughout the whole run...if you manage to keep it. Resetting loses a bit of time but not a terrible amount; that can be used to keep the Golden Eggplant should you lose it. Other than the crown in the shop to unlock World 0, there's no use stopping there except for granny strats. Depending how things work out you can use the spare coins to quickly buy a Blue/Purple/Golden Eggplant to recover. With good routing you can calculate how much time/health you'll have at the end of the levels that'll add to your coin total, so you'd only collect what you absolutely have to. The gold diamonds in each level seem to be absolutely necessary to get the golden crowns.
Try PMing one of the mods. It's hard to notice new posts for series forums even for mods of said series.
I made a list of games and series that use non-Latin characters if you like to have them stay within that: https://paste2.org/2A6w3kvM -- the characters I'm referring to are ’–—™®°²´¿àáæçñóöü
Some of them are justified, like 1080°, but ’–—™®´ aren't necessary. If you prefer they use the correct diacritics/characters, then quite a few games could use some updating. It may require UTF-8, though. It seems to be using only ASCII for now.
BTW, I have load of suggestions/ideas on the previous page. Been editing it to prevent flooding the thread.
I haven't done one myself (the longest one I did was about 4.5 hours), but there are things to keep in mind:
· Why do you want to do the marathon? What's the goal? - If you don't have this answered already, you're probably not actually going to go through with it. · Plan ahead - Do you know of anything that might interrupt the marathon? Things don't always go as planned. Have something in mind if you have to abruptly cut it. · You're likely going to feel like stopping midway, avoid these thoughts and keep trucking. The more motivated you are to finish your goal, the easier this is to do. Like with the larger marathon events speedruns can start going bad. Fight the muscle memory to hit the restart button or getting upset.
I had more in mind but I can't recall atm :p
I agree that "All Main Game Medals" sounds more entertaining for both the runner and the viewers.
Whoa, wait a minute, was it my internet being bad or were flags added recently to countries with subdivisions that didn't have any icon?
If you change a default theme's settings (other than background), the background disappears. eg If you change only your border color, the default background will disappear despite not touching it.
