Tennessee, USAHi there, the 2 mods for Super Spike V'Ball haven't been active on this site for months and there's no way to contact either one of them (one of the mods has twitter but hasn't used it in years). I have a run I submitted almost 3 months ago and I am requesting moderation for the board.
Thanks.
Hi there, can I have these old runs linked to my current speedrun account please? (yes I know it's a lot, sorry) Thanks.

I was doing runs of the Study Game category and noticed that while it's only 1 level, you can actually pick any level from the 36 levels in the game. When the "Round 1" text appears you can press Up/Down on the D-Pad to select a level.
I just wanted to make a post to make sure this was a known thing already. Study Game would be great for practice/ILs, but since you can pick any level I'm not sure if this will change anything on the leaderboard (like if Study Game will still be a category or if it will become ILs, etc.).
IL runs from before 4/5/2020 have been retimed.
After speaking with RetroEdit through PMs, I agree that the rules should be changed. Selecting a level then pressing Start to skip the box shouldn't be timed as it's arbitrary. Also, if you wanted to start over after a death, going back to the level select is kind of pointless. The gameplay matters more when timing ILs. So, here are the new rules:
"Timing begins when you close the opening dialogue box and ends when the ending dialogue box appears. Beginning timing after a death is allowed."
For example, when you begin a level, timing starts when you press Start to close the dialogue box (every level has a starting and ending box). Timing will end when the dialogue box at the end of the level pops up (again, every level has this). If you are playing a level and you die, you can reset your timer and try again without backing out to the level select. When you die, the level resets, including the dialogue box.
Any IL runs on the leaderboards from 4/4/2020 and before will be retimed. Please note that full game run timings will remain the same. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out to me.
Hey everyone, just wanted to make a quick post regarding emulators.
I've added a new rule to this game which you can find in the "Game Rules" portion of the page.
"If playing on emulator, it is recommended you use mGBA or Bizhawk (with the mGBA core). VBA is not recommended, but will be allowed.
Please state which emulator you used when submitting runs. Runs submitted before 3/27/2020 will remain on the boards."
VBA is still accepted by sites such as TASVideos, and the emulator has been allowed for GBA games in the past (some games still allow it, but bigger GBA speedruns don't, hence this post). It's been brought to my attention that mGBA and Bizhawk w/ mGBA core are more accurate, so I'd recommend those emulators. But since this leaderboard has few runners right now, I'm not going to outright ban it. If we run into an issue regarding VBA, I'm willing to discuss it.
I was explaining to a friend how the wall clips work and I figured I'd post my explanation here in case it helps anyone else out.
Hi there. Recently the moderator of Shrek 2 GBA was banned from speedrun.com, and currently the page has no moderator. I have the world record for the game and I am requesting mod for the game.
I was fine with cheekychunk moderating the page, but since he hasn't done runs yet, we talked and we're both comfortable with me being the page moderator.

Thanks
^ I'd like to know this as well.
Currently this game (and the sequel) are spelled "Civilballs" instead of "Civiballs". I had trouble finding the leaderboard for this game because of it. Just wanted to give a heads up.
Hey guys. So I figured I'd make a post with a few things since this game's getting attention.
So I was the one who initially created the leaderboard for this game. I made the full game and IL categories, etc. However, shortly after my sub-30 in Any% I deleted all of my social media, including my old sr.c account because I had quit speedrunning. Since Ted had done runs and beat my time, I made him the mod for this game.
Obviously I came back and made a new account, but I haven't really considered returning to this game. I did make a tutorial a while back, but I remember looking at Ted's run at the time and I figured my tutorial was outdated. Though I could still show a few strats I found if/when I get a chance (I could make videos). I never found any glitches or anything but damage boosting is your best friend in this game.
I saw a question about emulator runs: I used emulator before I got the cartridge/Game Boy Player and disc. I used VBA, and I didn't notice any differences between that and cartridge. Of course if there are then we can have a discussion about that.
Anyways, hope that clears some things up. Have fun with this game.
@darq_Massacres yes it worked. much appreciated
Hey there, can this run be attached to my account please? (I'll fix the video link when it gets attached) Thanks
yes, Olimar was nerfed. Idk what the next best option is if you wanna run the game on 2.0.0 (I haven't tried running this game yet), but I know Ganondorf is good for fights as well
