I once saw a video about a game (pretty sure it was a 2D platformer) where you could find a certain food (it may have been garlic but I'm not sure) pretty early in the game and when you carried it to the last boss (which was quite a hassle) you could instantly defeat the boss because they were allergic to the food. Does anyone know what game that is? I couldn't find it online.
Edit 1: I just found it on YouTube, it's Spelunky where you can defeat the boss with an eggplant. Found in this video:
Edit 2: Seems like it has nothing to do with allergy? It just turns the boss into an eggplant?
I think the video has a clear structure and gives useful tips for speedrunning the game which are explained in a way that's easy to understand. It's also well edited having an introduction, titles for the different sections and fitting background music. All in all I'd say good job!
@MelonSlice Thanks! Regarding Gameboy games I'm currently running The Little Mermaid and will try to further improve my time before submitting my run. When I'm happy with my run I might pick up Super Mario Land again since it's one of my favourite Gameboy games. 🎮
I want to run this game using bgb emulator and I wonder if it would invalidate my run if I would use a custom colour palette? The palette still consists of four different colours which are very distinct from each other, they're just not the standard Gameboy colours.
Edit: My runs with a custom colour palette got verified so I guess that means it's okay.
I have the same plan, lol. Currently running a game that's not on here, yet. 😁
Maybe check out this forum?

@Daravae Thanks for your answer. I get that it's a problem to decide what counts as a glitch and what doesn't. Is this the reason some communities prefer categories like "No OOB" over "Glitchless"?
I would really appreciate it if there was a field on profiles to add our pronouns. Is there a chance this can be added?
My favourite Pokémon is Eevee because it's cute as heck and can evolve into so many different forms.
Quite a while ago I picked up this game casually and after completing it I started practicing a speedrun. However, because the game kept crashing (seemingly) randomly I got frustrated and stopped practicing my run. I tried to look for solutions online already but couldn't find a way to make the game stop crashing. How did you manage it? Is there a patch I didn't find? Any other solution? I'd appreciate any help. I play the game on Windows 10 if that matters.
Hello everyone!
My name is Laika, I'm a non-binary trans girl, my pronouns are she/her, I've been interested in speedrunning for quite some time now and I finally decided it's time to sign up here.
I've watched and enjoyed a couple of GDQs over the years and have tried to speedrun several games myself before (for example Super Mario Land on Gameboy or The Stalin Subway on PC) but so far I didn't have the time, energy and patience to actually practice enough to finish a run. That has changed now. I've completed my first speedrun and have already beaten my own PB several times. Since the game is not yet listed here it will take several days for me to submit it, so stay tuned for the surprise which game it'll be. 😌
I hope to have a lot of fun speedrunning and with this community.
Yours, Laika
@EmeraldAly Yes, makes sense. Thanks for your reply.
First of all, I am new here, so apologies if this has been answered before.
Let's say I make a run in Any% in which I don't use any glitches to save time because I'm not aware there are any. If another person finds glitches to save time and as a result makes my glitchless run obsolete for Any%, can I submit my run to Glitchless category?
