Hey, Just an Idea, but should PC runs and Console runs have different leaderboards, due to the fast sprint on PC / Keyboard not being available on console? Just means no matter how good you do, the PV will always be faster.
I know for NES speedruns, lots of games have a US / EU split, due to the NTSC games running faster than Pal games. Just an idea :)
Hey all, no guides for this game and i havent even started to learn, but i have a few questions if thats ok?
-
What are the items you buy at the end of the levels, are they intricate to the run?
-
Whats the very first weapon you collect, does it stay with you for the whole run? And do you avoid all weapon drops after that?
Hope these questions are on

Hey, just checkin if the discord is still up, the link doesnt bring me to it
Hi, is the ps4 and ps5 version allowed for runs? would just like to clarify though, and possibly get a leaderboard added for it
Hey @Figerox
Just wondering what categories your going to have for this, im currently practicing it. If i.could suggest.
Any% - Standard 100% - Also standard Basement Maze completetion% - this would be a fun one to see how fast we could get through the hanging dagger things in the basement.
Looking forward to.hearing from you, Deadguy
Just throwing it out there aboutna glitchless category?
The lock skip could be pretty significant, which is cool, but it would be a major glitch, and is done from continuing after a completed game, not a hard reset.
Most games do have a hard reset in the rules, so im just thinking of what about a Glitchless category thats just played normally?
Just throwing it out there
So he 100% run is a fun one, jist get all the collectables!!
- Chainsaw
- Gun
- Bottle
- First Notebook 5-8. Last 4 Notebooks
To my knowledge theres no other collectables?
Enjoy the run!!
Hey All,
Just wondering if the ps5 version is allowed for the speedrun? Loved this game growing up..
Are there any major glitches or is it a straight playthrough for any%?
Hello, i was planning to start running tjis as my next project, but just want to understand why the new category "No oob" was created for a run that already has Glitchess?? Seems Any% should just be any%, glitchess and all, no? Or Any% and just Glitchless.
Maybe its just me, doesnt seem to make sense though. Kind Regards,
Deadguy
Hey All!
The Games Rules have been updated now with a full list.
These rules fall in line with other Mario / NES Titles where necessary.
Happy Wrecking!!!
Hey All, was thinkin of learning this run. Are emulators allowed? If so what are the recommended Emulators for ps2 that are allowed run it?
Hey, me again. Just wondering, is this like CV2 where a decent zipless run can also be submitted to Any%? So you're killing 2 birds with one stone.
Hello!!
I just want to clarify if music is allowed to be played (low volume, non offensive lyrics) over speedruns of this?
I may learn the run but will be streaming, and the no music is the only offlut. Please let me know if this is allowed. Regards, Deadguy
Hey all,
Just for myself as i'm a dumbass, can the mods clarify the actual correct start time for frame counting?
Is it when you first see Nick on the screen (have control then), first black screen after the intro? First Blue screen?
Not sure what everyone else has been frame counting from but I just want to clarify for myself please
Hey all, I can only find runs online and youtube. Is there any videos explaining the glitches in this game so i can properly learn them? Much appreciated!
Hey All,
I'm asking the question, not making the claim. But has a 1:47:xx ever been done for a coin drop NOT in centre place? Had this crazy fast run earlier, recognised the pattern and chanced going left of centre, hey ho, the coin was there, and i got a 1:47:883 (i think)
Theres the video link. Its not my PB, but its the first time i've personally done this, or seen it done this fast so just wanted to share it.
Hey all,
Looking to start running this, and maybe it just seems more awkward than it is, but im losing you all on the "gun up gun down", im sure its mentioned in the guides, but are you supposed to only get gun ups, and then not collect anything else ao the drops stay consistent? Or do you collect everything. Like bulbs money etc (Really sorry for the dumb questions. But i really like the look of this game)
Hi all.
Just wondering why there is no glitchless category for Kid Icarus? Most games that require glitches / screen wraps / wall clips also usually have Glitchless.
Would be interested in running that category, as i love the game but havent got the prowess for wall clips haha
Hey,
Can't find a relevant post, so just leaving this here for anyone new thatay need it.
Please just let me know if it needs to be posted in a different section.
