Connecticut, USAFor documentation's sake, I'd like to point out I've updated the variables to include 1.3.0, as the game has received a major update including some QOL changes involving boat levels, and "making obnoxious levels easier."
I'll admit, I got lazy with the leaderboard for a while. If anyone wants to step in as a verifier for the board, I would greatly appreciate it. This game is much more popular than I would've expected, so just be ready for the large influx of runs. Just shoot me a DM on the site, and know that you must have a verified email on your account to become a verifier.
In addition, I've begun enforcing milliseconds. It is a change that I should've made when I originally took over last year, and I apologize to those who's leaderboards placements may be slightly inaccurate. That being said, all runs verified after this post (that are within the top 3) will be accurate to the hundredth. Obviously this will expand, and as long as there is competition among the top times I will use ms.
I added a 100%/All Secret Medals category, with a description of how to earn each medal just in case. Thanks for running, and respond with anything else that may need my attention.
Hey, I was wondering if the mods wanted to add the Flash game as a misc category or a whole new game. SRC doesn't really like Flash games rn but it's a pretty solid one and it would help with the series.
Me and my brother just finished a runthrough of the game using one pro controller, and I think it would be cool to put on the leaderboards. It's a really interesting idea that has been explored by a few communities, most notably the SM64 16 Star run at PACE. Even just adding a sub cat under the normal categories would work. Thanks! And sorry if this has been brought up before.
Would videos of this game require good audio, if any? My setup is capturing my phone's camera screen with my elgato via an adapter, so I have no way of recording audio through that. If I do no mic streams, there will be no audio in the recording. Will that be acceptable? Thank you!
Could you re-check the IL settings, as none of my recent runs are appearing. Perhaps you have runs with certain criteria hidden, or something like that. Otherwise it's a bug that we should report to get fixed. Thank you!
Just for documentation purposes, I'd like to point out that the game has gotten a new name about midway through development. It seems to be going in a slightly different direction as well, once the first build of the new game Paperhead is released, I will decide what to do about the SRC page.
Alright I took a pretty long break after the new year, and although I've been playing some of my speedgames to keep movement and muscle memory stuff fresh, I am finding it difficult to get back into the swing of things. Are there any tips anyone has for getting back to my previous levels of willingness after a break? I'm definitely not going to quit speedrunning.
Now that version 1.0 is released, myself and ferdinand have been playing through, getting a feel for running the game. In the Discord, Tweni said that he wasn't too interested in the game anymore, do you think you could add the two of us as mods if you guys aren't going to do anything? I'm fairly sure we will both be ready to do runs soon, and he also wants to run the ILs as well. (haha) Please and thank you!
What exactly is “flinging”? From what I can gather you have to change your FPS limit mid-run to allow you to gain an insane amount of speed from abusing this. I’m not really interested in doing a flings category anyway, I’m just curious
On the GameJolt page, he has the old version (the one we use for runs), and the new one. I'd like to add the new one as it is drastically different in terms of the map.
What is the comparison of EMU/NES as opposed to Switch “VC”? Is it the same time loss as Wii, NES Classic?
I’m actually interested in speedrunning this, although I’d like some competition haha, do you mind if I post this in Seydies “small community looking for runners” forum?
In Mutant Mudds Collection, there is the puzzle game called Mudd Blocks, and while it is mainly score based, there is one game mode called rescue, in which you play as granny rescuing max from a cage within the game board. I really enjoy it, and I think it could be a viable speedrunning category. It would be a misc category, but still, I hope that other people would be interested in it
I’m rather interested in speedrunning the game, I really enjoy playing casually. Just one suggestion, the website on mobile leads to armor games’ mobile site, might I suggest using the Steam marketplace page?

Or the Game Jolt page:
This is more of a parody of the common question “what are good games to start speedrunning” than a “what types of games aren’t good speed games”. I’m not looking for “visual novels or short, trivial, flash games” but rather games that you’ve seen or had a bad time with. Excessively long runs don’t count either because that’s something that isn’t feasible to 99.9% of the community.
I noticed that WR doesn’t use the power-up, but the rules don’t state whether you can use it or not. For now I’ll run without, but I’m just curious.
Anybody reluctant about this purchase, get it now. The steam summer sale makes it literallly pocket change at 1.69 USD
Could I run the same category on different platforms, but have separate times? For example, I'm running SM64, but I play on both Emu and N64. Would it be possible to have my name appear twice on the leaderboard with one time as my N64 time, and the other time be my Emu run? Thank you
Is it bad that I simply lack the motivation to grind one game? I started speedrunning with SMO, but that was before I started recording runs. Now I'm looking into SM64 a lot more than I thought I would, but I'm also practicing NSMBU on the side, with intentions to get into Odyssey again this summer with (hopefully) a capture card. In addition, I run smaller games when I finish (or before I start) SM64 runs. I also almost never do two runs in a night. I realize I'm just starting out, but am I biting off more than I can chew?
