Hey, I've only been occasionally checking speedrun.com and I didn't realize how long it had been, really sorry about that. I've added both of you as moderators.

This is allowed in Any% 2p. The mod who rejected it didn't read the category rules. I'll ask the mods to verify your run.

Edit: Looks like you already submitted again and got it accepted but you didn't mention that here. Never mind then.

There has been a lot of discussion on this the last few days in the discord. You can see our reasoning for why the leaderboards are this way in the announcements channel there. www.discord.gg/smospeedruns

Jarhead, click on Follow Settings in the list of options on the left for this game. You can change your notification settings there. His threads have gotten replies, and it is obvious that at least a few people do care. Don't be rude.

You are right though that the forums are not well suited for back and forth discussions. I'd recommend talking about this in the #misc-categories channel in the discord server. https://discord.gg/Yt2DGbf

This would just be doing any% up to Lost Kingdom and then World Peace for Metro. It wouldn't add anything new.

We changed the video requirement threshold a while back. Video is required for all runs below 1 hour 20 minutes, not just top 50.

We cannot accept a world record that is missing the majority of the video. If you want to submit a top time to any category on this leaderboard, you need a video of the entire run. You got yourself banned in the discord server by spamming, and continuing to spam when you were told to stop.

You can buy as many moons as you want in Any%/World Peace. The only moons bought in Any% are in Wooded and Snow because buying a moon would be slower in most kingdoms.

Right now, 124 moons is any%, but with Amiibo, Assist Mode, and 2p banned. We're currently discussing in the discord changing things so whether or not those are allowed are just subcategories.

You can sometimes get tilt when going across certain surfaces or when gravity changes, and it makes you jump higher when you jump in a certain direction, and lower when you jump in the opposite direction, depending on which way you're tilted. Yoshifan has a video that goes into detail about tilt in Beach Bowl 1: For Dusty Dune 2, just jump when coming around the circle the same way vallu does and you should get good tilt.

It's because there was a period at the end. These links should work for you: https://cyberscore.me.uk/game/627 https://kb.speeddemosarchive.com/Super_Mario_Galaxy_2/Star_Times

In addition to what Vallu said, freezing like you did happens if you're too close to the castle, and you fall down if you're too far away. The thing you should adjust if you're still having problems is how long you hold up-right before switching back to right.

The runner in question here made a reddit thread to complain about the situation. You guys might want to leave a reply there. https://www.reddit.com/r/speedrun/comments/6p1kmz/labled_as_a_cheater_by_mods_that_dont_know_the/

SMS has 50 shines if you don't do pinna 5 skip or gelato skip. It has 51 if you do Bianco 1.

Generally, it's best to actually watch a run of a game before trying to come up with strats.

EYG is only used in any%, so I'm going to assume you meant Yoshi skip (the thing in Pianta 5). Both of these skips require hover nozzle (or waiting until gelato 6 to use Yoshi), so I assume a route similar to the one used in max% hoverless would work out the best.

Bianco 2, 3 Unlock Ricco Bianco 4, 5 Gelato 1-7 Pinna 1-7 Ricco 1-7 Bianco 6, 7 Unlock Sirena and do the lilypad shine Sirena 1-7 Noki 1-7 Pianta 1-7 (If you don't know how to do pianta early, get Yoshi again and use Yoshi's spinjumps to get up)

And then the second half after corona blues should be the same as normal

As far as I'm aware, all methods of de-region locking are acceptable, and loading times will be normal as long as you're using a disc.

You have to press B to talk to the mayor in Pianta 3 and 6 and the hotel owner in every level in Sirena. Also needed to defeat Gooper Blooper in Ricco 1 and 5.
