Georgia, USAYeah, this is a speedrun website. High Scores are not the purpose of the website. When you create high score runs, you just go against the purpose of this type of playing a game- not to get a high score, but to complete it quickest. Adding mini games built on high scores also causes an issue- better runs get lower placements. The run for Cherry-Go-Round is at .771 seconds(at this time) because it is a record for 77.1 inches. However, say I input my record, which is 108.3. That would give me a time of 1.083, which is automatically second. Because this mini game is about points(in distance) instead of speed, the point system just falls apart. Speedruns should stay for mini games. Maybe some sort of way to change it is to create a level category simply named “Mini games” or something and input the applicable mini games into that category(idea is from the New Super Mario Bros(Wii) categories for specific worlds). That way, it sets all the Mini games under the right classification(Not Boss Rush) and allows for 1 page for all of the mini games. Also, Joey’s list of Mini games with timers is accurate, so we could have a variety of levels to go with it as well. In general, the mini games with High Scores instead of timers don’t really need to be placed on this board, and the organization could also be improved as well.
This is just my two cents on this, so feel free to respond or tell me your opinion. I just feel like mini games meant to be given a high score shouldn’t be morphed into something they are not. -Creative

How should I make a wiki/website for a game? I'm setting up a new game on the site but it's my first time. Anybody have a suggestion?
