Come to think of it, there is a 100% category already. But what does "AA" stand for? And where is mirror mode? And should we also include big air, big air master and halfpipe as categories? And board park? ?

Edit:

Oh, and I just saw the rules for "Alpine" and AA – why on earth would you create a mode that limits you to a certain board? I absolutely disagree with that one. You should be able to use any board you like. What good are separate categories for separate boards? Isn't the goal of the game to finish it as quickly as possible, by any means necessary? I agree with the time taking rule, but not the board limiation. Why have a separate categories for each? And why not have a "Freestyle" category, then? And what if I find out that for the 100% normal mode it is a valid strategy to start with alpine boards for the easier tracks and switch to allround on the harder ones? Where would I submit a run for that?

And why does "100%" mean that you have to finish every race in first place? As described above, it would be quicker to "skip" the big airs and start from last place, and then have a quick and hopefully uninterrupted race. The idea behind 100% should be that you have to race every single track in succession (and not get kicked out of the competition, obviously).

I think that this is a perfectly valid speedrunning mode. Most game define "finishing a game" by reaching the credits.

But I would agree with you that there should be a separate category for 100% speedruns, since that is a feat in itself. Although I would argue that this does not imply that you have to win the competition, but simply not lose it (and thus reaching the credits). And if that's the case, I wouldn't even attempt the big airs, but try to land as soon as possible and start from 8th position.

Now that I actually submitted my first run (approval pending, White Resort only), I realize that this "the run starts on hitting 'START'" can only apply to competition mode, right? The level leaderboard should use the ingame time.

Quick question: Is anyone actually running this? Just yesterday I got my old PS1 from the basement and startet replaying this gem, but this page seems to be utterly empty.

Does that mean that I can submit the first run and be king for one day? :D
