Honestly not sure on the time save, have never actually timed everything. I got the Xbox version years ago just as a meme, but it does seem faster. Got it on ebay though. Not sure if PAL Xbox would be the same speed though maybe? But you can get WR on GameCube right now, if you look the GameCube record it's really close to the Xbox one as this game still isn't as optimized as it can be. Have never played on PS2 so not sure if that's faster / slower or what not, as also haven't got the PC version running.
I think this is a pretty cool idea, went ahead and added it.
Hey there, yeah I've never used a PS2 emulator for this so not sure why it's crashing. But for gamecube it should work, not gonna link the ISO here but just google "hello kitty roller rescue gamecube iso" and you should be able to find a download pretty easily. Hope that helps :)
Heyo, so I've never done 100% personally but I'm pretty sure everything is consistent. For example for the Bonus Sailor Costumes you have to complete a level with an S rank. You can look up how to do these things on sites like gamefaqs and others who have a list of unlockables and how to get them (https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/gamecube/927518-hello-kitty-roller-rescue/cheats). Not 100% sure if the videos stayed unlocked or not, I guess if not you'd want to first beat the game as Hello Kitty then go through the game as Bad Badtz Maru and unlock everything with him instead of Hello Kitty, so you could have all the videos and unlockables. Since one of the unlockables is beating the game as Badtz Maru.
Hope that makes sense, again I haven't done the category personally but I had the idea of doing it before so created the category if anyone wanted to try. Also if your friend ever wants to hit me up on twitter or anything, I'm always down to talk about stuff.
Yeah pressing new game on a clean file vs just pressing on hello kitty is pretty much the same timing, so either works fine. As far as when you end the timer, it should be the frame when the 100 pops up (or as soon as you see it basically). I went ahead and updated the rules to show this as well :)
Honestly I've never ran it, but it'd be playing the game as hello kitty and getting all the collectables (videos, friends, costumes, weapons, etc.) + unlocking bad batz maru. But because some of the unlockables you have to unlock as bad batz maru, you have to play the game twice, once as hello kitty, and another as bad batz maru.
I honestly don't know, I've never had PAL. I know the Chinese version for Xbox is faster than GC though.
That was a time I got offline, since it didn't have a video for it I went ahead and removed it though (didn't think it was actually on the leadboards before).
Not really honestly, biggest differences are the health the bosses have (they have a ton more). But as Maru you do more damage as well, and some spots there's no text for Maru. (overall though, Kitty is fater by a couple minutes I think).
