TL;DR - Format is as follows: Matches will be 1 hour in length, runners will get 5 attempts. Best completed run wins. There is a 40 minute Point of No Return where no new runs can be started (runs started before or at the 40 min mark can be completed past the hour mark)

This is the official Highscore thread for apple bounces on Vileplume. (Making this as promised to Lvon for achieveing over 10 bounces with video evidence)
We are currently allowing emulator runs for the N64 and wii vc board. We are allowing the use of RetroArch (using the Mupen64Plus-Next core) for N64, and the latest stable release of Dolphin for Wii VC. All other emulators are banned because of improper emulation (Most of them don't even work properly anyways). FOR RUNS TO BE VALID, you MUST put the title bar of the emulator in the video to show program/version info This leaderboard change is tentative, meaning that we may change our minds in the future based on new information.
Currently, emulator runs will be capped off at 22:00 and 26:00 for any% and 100% respectively. They will also be hidden by default.
For more clarification on emulator runs, feel free to ask here, on the discord, or DM a mod
Each individual game/series is almost too small to support using a centralized forum such as discord, but as a group, we could fill one up nicely.
I noticed that this game has no set rules or guidelines and I think that should be changed. I'm willing to edit the page if thats okay, but we should establish rules first.
Campaign: I vote that timing begins on difficulty selection and ends on the final You Are Victorious screen. I noticed that you can skip the intro movies by alt+tab-ing during them, I think this should be allowed as they are kind of pointless to watch and can be done easily.
Overall: In my runs that I have submitted, I HAVE MADE SMALL EDITS TO THE GAME'S INI SETTINGS. I set a custom Resolution that is 16:9 and I have raised the max camera height from 310 (or 370, i forget) to 500. I don't think this really affects the run, but it makes the game more comfortable to play. Editing the ini files should be discussed because I'm sure that there are some things that could give advantages.
