United StatesNo, specifically Taxi Glitch refers to the act of using the Menu to access stages that you can't even select, which in the case of Patrick's Sock doesn't count, as for some reason, it's visible at the start of the run.
"Adequate video and audio evidence is required for all submissions. LiveSplit must be present and clearly display the timer's automatic start and finish."

What We Do Not Accept
At this time, we are not adding the following:
- Short/Trivial Games
- Generic Puzzle Games
- Generic Typing Games
- Geography Games
- Vocabulary/Math and other Educational Games
- Quiz Games
- Generic Sudoku Solvers/Minesweeper Remakes/Rubik's Cube Solvers/etc.
- Visual Novels/Interactive Movies
- PvP-Related Activities
- High-Score Based Submissions
- Non-Video-Game Activities
LiveSplit has the option to display an Graph, along side information for the previous split, PB, etc.
https://www.speedrun.com/resources Under the Timer Section, you'll find a number of alternatives.
Go to https://www.speedrun.com/The_Site/thread/dueac if you wish to request for Moderator status for a game with inactive mods. However, attempt to get contact with any of the mods through other means before requesting Moderator.
Microsoft Word will most likely not be added as a speedrun, considering the game falls under two categories that are currently not considered for being added to the leaderboards. ["Generic Typing Games" and "Non-Video-Game Activities"]. If you wish to request an game, go to https://www.speedrun.com/requestgame.
If you wish to not hear the ingame Audio, its best to just plug in a set of headphones, and not use them, so the run can still have audio for verification reasons.
- Deltarune is not a finished Product
- Die% is a Niche Category in Undertale outside of the main mode.
- The Category would end upon the first available death hazard.
The goal in the end is to play the game how you want to play it, at least without any ingame/external cheats. While the rules say you can use specific glitches, you aren't necessarily required of doing so, nor are you required to be the very top of the leaderboard. If you wish to, you can submit Glitchless Inbounds runs to the main Leaderboards.
However, the concept of a Glitchless (No OOB) Category would need to define what counts as a Bunnyhop (And other minor glitches/exploits). What would define as a BHop? Going above a specific speed? Jumping twice frame perfectly while moving? Jumping after building up speed as a whole?
We already have No Major Glitches on Category Extensions, and not that many people play it in the first place, with only 8 (11 counting Obsolete Runs) submissions. Adding another niche category that functionally works similar to another in most instances is kind'a pointless.
Generally no
If a player is a repeat offender of intentionally cheating, modifying, TASing, or otherwise using illegal methods of speedrunning a game, they shouldn't be allowed within the community, possibly the entire site. In the case of some communities, they will enforce rules that either make No Emulation Rules, make Emulation in its own category, or higher attention to players doing well on Emulators. Even outside of that, high ranked players will be investigated before being concluded as a valid player. The site as a whole will often ban users attempting to get away with cheating for extended periods of time, and/or repeated occasions.
This strategy absolutely should be Banned from the Run, or separated to another category (Along side Credits Warp). This strategy skips the following in Arcade Mode:
- Megaman's Respawn Animation
- Players Respawn Animation
- Player vs Enemy Scene
- Stage Completed Scene
- The Three Second Startup Timer All of these skipped saves over Half of the runs time, and with this alone, would cause Sub 2, or even Sub 1 to be free.
Unlock All Characters would be RNG for Vaporeon, and playing Arcade Mode as the Starting Characters, while Unlocking Clowntown would be either Controlling Two Players at the same time, or grinding 100 Battles. For a Alternative Category (Outside of the Two Suggestions and All Unlocks), I could see All Starters Arcade Mode and All Characters being a Option.
I'm interested in seeing a All Unlockables/100% Category added to SSL.
My run timing started on hitting Enter on the Title Screen, and ended on the last Stage Unlocked Message.
If this were to become a Speedrun, I would recommend separating 100% Singleplayer and Co-op to Two Separate Categories, as Unlocking ClownTown would be significantly faster in Coop than Singleplayer, and otherwise making the run require Multiplayer to be viable.
If you start a New Super Smash Land File, and then attempt to Kirbyside on Arcade Mode with One Stock Left, this triggers the Air-Ride Unlock Message. Then, you'll want to let the game close the message on its own, this results in the game playing the credits.
Super Smash Land is a interesting little Speedrun, allowing the player to select any of the 6 Characters to complete the Arcade Mode in a Gameboy Style Smash Bros Game.
Via collecting a SMG and receiving Two or More SMG Grenades prior to the Finale, you can use them to launch yourself over the barrier. If the strategy was used in a speedrun, it could save about 5-8 Seconds, but it would be risky to pull off, as you would need to sacrifice some health.
The SMG can be found during the Zombie Section.
A box of SMG Grenades can be found on the next map, in the same room where you lose your Flashlight.
