So I was just wondering about the timing for this game when the run starts and ends.

I just wanted to ask if in the speedrun of this game, are you allowed to ‘skip’ the tutorials that come up in chapter 1 by viewing them before the run starts in the tutorial menu.

Hello, I currently trying to speedrun layton games and I was wondering why the Nintendo switch isn’t listed as a platform. I noticed that it is listed as a different version when submitting runs but not when you select the platform.

Sorry but can one of you reply back on the forum once you get the rules sorted.

I understand, sorry. Is it better for me to wait for you to sort all the rules out then? I don't know if what runs I've put already are good but I'll delete and redo them if they are inaccurate.

Do you mean the circle you press to get past the Chapter introduction? I don't know how you would consistently time this correctly. I don't know if it's different for other runners of the game but I'm using the Floating Speedrun Timer and I don't think it's possible to press the timer and the circle at the same time. It's always going to be a few milliseconds off if done in real time, unless there's someway to automatically start the timer without pressing it that I don't know about. I've seen other runners start on the first movement or just before, I don't know if this is right. Would is be the timing for Chapter 1? What is the end timing by the way? Is this the last made movement or the part where the character kneels at the end, as sometimes they happen at different times? For example; Chapter 2's last movement is after finishing the dialogue however the character kneeling cutsceen don't happen until about ten seconds after this. I did notice that other chapters have the same problem of inconsistent timing at the end and I think it would be better to have definite timings instead of vague.

Hello, I recently submitted a run and although it was accepted, I can see the time was changed to how I originally timed it. I was wondering if this was because I got the start and / end timings wrong. I’m still new to Speedrunning and would like someone to explain to me the right definite time when each chapter starts and ends as I don’t understand what is meant by “circle at the beginning is biggest after being pressed”.
