Digital versions of Switch games always had faster loading times than the physical copy.
Now you know which version to buy if you plan to speedrun this game.
In smo physical loses ~11 seconds. Its still annoying, but its not awful
I bought the physical because of a 25% coupon from one of the main computer retail stores in the UK (Currys for those familiar), I also bought physical for preservation reasons - though to be honest I'm not 100% set on speedrunning Wonder yet, so I'll have to wait and see first.
However, if loads on the physical version make it impossible to get a high level run, then I'll probably consider buying the digital copy later down the line.
I preordered the physical version from Walmart thanks to the included cards and a limited time 20% off coupon, the loading difference shouldn't be massive enough in loading until the game becomes super optimized I'd imagine.
Hello Wonder runners!
We have just concluded our poll in the SMBW Speedrunning Discord regarding the "All Badges" category, and it has been determined that the category will now be under the 100% subcategory "No Standees." This also means that true 100% runs will be found under "100% - Standees."
