Yeah, I think most of the categories on this board shouldn't be run RTA, not just this bounty. Mitigating the health risks associated with going this long is more important than "RTA is RTA." RTA should not be the measure of success for categories longer than probably twelve hours, but I'm okay with up to 14 hours. Heck, there's a number of games that are abandoning RTA for even short games. IGT (In Game Time) has slowly been taking over.
I think that the only categories that are up for debate on whether they should be run RTA are the 1862 and this. Keeping the challenge RTA is reasonable though. If the mods want to switch to TA, that's up to them in the end. Also, the main reason why IGT is taking over in some games is loading time inconsistencies.
WOAH, FOR REAL?! How the hell did you manage to have 100 dollars just for the bounty?!
@ArtismScrub they're probably referring to emulator since Wii games are called ISO's. Emulator for NSMBW under no circumstances should be allowed since loading times load way faster than they would on a Wii console, and the loads depend on your pc hardware.
I know who was asking about the ISO for NSMBW, and he was meaning that he wanted to USB load it through his Wii since he doesn't have a copy.
a USB loader isn't much better since it has the exact same load issue as emulator
in game rules of the all wii games it says usb loading and emulators are banned (so SMG1,NSMBW,SMG2 can only be done with oficial disk and console) but sms 100% game rules say you can use emulator if the run is over 3:40
After some planning and occasionally thinking about this over the months I'm gonna go for it. During the Winter 2022 602 if I have time, if not definitely during the Summer 2022 602
Winter 2021 I mean
actualy, is basicaly playing all the games in one i mean you can spend all the time you want with breaks betwen games, just go speedrunning them with fun and eventualy finish all this alredy continued standed up for more than a year
by the way now for super mario 3d world is allowed the switch version?
Of course I do, I made a sheet of WR times, my times, my goals. All that. I ain't going into this blind
For BOTW 100%, they do the run in multiple parts. Why don't you apply that ruleset to this run? You could just do the run in 1,000,000,000,000 segments under 100 hours and you get breaks.
son just create a BTT like in super mario odyssey lol
Sorry to resurrect this thread, but I wanted to say I've spent these last 5 months working pretty damn hard on getting decent times on all these games. I planned to do it during the upcoming 602, but there's no way I can enough time off due to my new job. That being said, I'm still practicing and plan to do it whenever I can get 5 days off, regardless of if a 602 race is happening or not.
As long as you take care of yourself with sleep and food I'm all for this Moo. Just trying to accomplish something like this gives you my respect.
You can now submit runs to the 602 and 1862 leaderboards under the TA filter if you took breaks for sleep and paused the timer! Rules will be more in depth on the category pages on the leaderboard.
