Hi,

For Island Cycling All Balls you're riding in free mode. When you die in freemode you're teleported near where you left off, contrast that with the flag courses where you're teleported back to the last checkpoint. It might not correctly register where you last left off, and send you to a different place; a death warp. Here's an example of a death warp in a All Balls run by V:

The SRC leaderboard rules say "Any method of moving is allowed, however all runs must be finished as intended." Deathwarping is a method of moving, but I don't think it's necessarily intended. Is it allowed to have deathwarps in a run for the SRC leaderboards?

On the one hand it makes for more interesting runs, and it might be difficult to differentiate between a death warp and simply dying. On the other hand it's a bit of a glitch/exploit. Hence why I ask.

Thanks

I have since found some jumps that can be performed to save a lot of time in Expert mode. They don't involve dying, as death sends you back to the last checkpoint. Would such jumps be allowed?

If there is no glitch or death warp just a big jump then that is allowed, but I don't know about death warping.

Having looked at the rules for the full game leaderboards, it seems like "As intended" means obtaining at least 2 stars. In the WR for All Balance Games Intended we see that during Ski Jumping, the second jump is skipped by jumping on the balance board, because that would allow one to obtain 2 stars in the least amount of time. Because All Beach Balls does not finish with a score; island cycling ends after 30 minutes, but not when the player presses b, after which the distance travelled is indicative of the score. After you finish collecting beach balls you may still continue though, so travelling less than what would grant you a 2 star run doesn't mean that if your route is short enough it should be disqualified. After all, the faster you are, the more time you have to rack up kms. This however still doesn't answer the titular question.
