I'm adding one new rule that applies to every category, including IL's, that should arguably be enforced on every game: World Records require video.
Now, I know what you're thinking: "I can't afford a 3DS Capture!" The thing is, you don't need one. Just use a camera. As long as I can see the top screen, it's fine. If you don't want to use a camera, fine. Just don't submit.
So I will be going through the whole leaderboard and rejecting/deleting every World Record that doesn't have video. If you're run gets deleted, that's why.
Adding more strict video requirements: In Any%, times below 27:30 now require video. In Warpless, times below 49:30 require video. In all other categories, top 3 runs require video.
Any pre-existing runs that would violate this rule will not be affected, but all future runs submitted will be.
Adding more strict video requirements (again):
In Any%, times below 28:00 require video. In Warpless, times below 50:00 require video. In No Secret Exits, times below 1:01:00 require video. In 100%, times below 3:20:00 require video. In all other full-game categories, top 5 runs require video. In individual level and individual world runs, all runs require video.
Any pre-existing runs that would violate this rule will not be affected, but all future runs submitted will be.
Slight rule change for 100%:
You don't need to end the game with max lives, however you need to get them at some point during the run as it is a part of 100% completion. It would be helpful to mention in your run description when exactly you reached max lives as us mods also have lives and we usually don't watch entire 100% runs.
This rule change means that you don't have to go back to grind lives a second time if you died in your run. If any pre-existing runs have done this, their timing will be changed.
