FinlandThe list does not include Level up, Summon enemy or Puppies transform, the latter only available after finding at least 5 puppies. The game also has a Randomizer page, which is very rare to run into.
The cheats used in the 100% category are as follows:
All the other cheats unlocked are either levels, boss battles, unlockable characters and the Duke Nukem FMV.
Hello everyone,
Something curious arose as I looked into the matter.
I had always assumed the Escudo route would be the way to go for in rally% (without license prizes). Well, it is almost certainly still the case for PAL: Sough's new routing for NTSC-U involves using the Tigra Ice Race Car for the rally events instead, requiring less grinding than the Escudo.
Where's the issue, then? Well, in both PAL and NTSC-U, the Cultus in the Hillclimb race is beatable with the Tigra using a heavily modified setup and, obviously, getting a quick run. However, try as I might, I was unable to repeat the same feat against Escudo. As it turns out, the Escudo ghost is considerably slower in NTSC-U than PAL, rendering the Tigra route unviable for PAL.
As such, I've decided to split the rally% category for each region. While this doesn't concern most people, as beating Cultus with Tigra still requires a decent run, it is still an obvious region difference, similar to NTSC-J any%, albeit in a much smaller scale.
Hello everyone, and a happy 2024!
I decided to remove the platform division for licenses, since I don't see it being necessary and don't know why it was a thing in the first place, since the in-game timer is used.
I am, however, aware of rally apparently being faster on NTSC-U compared to PAL, but this should be the only difference (apart from NTSC-J's rally physics being ice)
If, however, this should become an issue when it comes to the timer accuracy, we will revert it back.
Hey there,
It is long overdue, but I finally separated the regions. The reason this took a while is because in the old version of the website, to my knowledge, had no page for managing all the runs. This meant I had to open up every run separately so I could update them after creating the split. But now with the updated site, you can add subcategories without the worry of runs disappearing - subcategories get automatically assigned to existing runs now as well!
Please note that the region doesn't matter for MS DOS. Naturally, the PC version of the game would only have one region, and as such, I will assign NTSC for it. How the subcategories work is you apply the to-be subcategory to either Full game & levels, or only Full game. There is no option to not include a subcategory for the Miscellaneous categories, or categories where PC is used. This was the easiest course of action, rather than create individual subcategories, just the region split alone, to only have them in the categories where they matter.
Should this nitpick become an issue, I will have to go through the arduous process mentioned above. That said, now no one doesn't have to be forced to play NTSC...as far as consoles go!

By complete accident, I discovered that you can completely freeze Death's AI by tabbing out of the game as he starts his stun move, and tabbing back in as the animation has almost finished.
I decided to run the game again after a whole year, and in my stream I encountered two bugs that basically destroyed the respective attempts.
This thread is dedicated for listing those issues.
- Magic Man softlock: Triggered by having Stilts active and getting hit by Magic Man's transformation spell. This will cause you to get stuck at the end of the spell, and your only option is to quit to the main menu.
- Death's box lock: Triggered by summoning Marceline when the box is up. Even after defeating the skeletons, the box will remain and Death will remain on the stage, only teleporting back when he wishes to. The box will also remain for the remainder of the fight, but the fight can be finished.
- Stalagmite hitboxes in Flame King boss arena: The spot with the stalagmites will get you stuck in them, with no way to unstuck yourself. Flame King can unstuck you, but there's no way to command him to do so (obviously).
- Button mash game freeze: Minor, but should be noted. If you press the confirm/skip button upon defeating a boss too fast, the game has a tendency to freeze.
- Tree Witch softlock: Also minor, with very low chance of encountering. This occurs when you inspect Enchiridion pages with Princess Bubblegum and Tree Witch sits on Finn. After Jake releases Finn, you will be stuck. Your only option is to quit to the main menu.
Hello everyone,
I created this thread as I noticed there was a bit of rules that I hadn't applied to the category in question.
Since it is possible to win every race in division 1, and therefore it is a guaranteed Championship win, you may stop the timer there, as well as when it is clear you're leading the championship (e.g. more wins than The Skum)
Then, I was thinking of adding something in the rules but chose not to. This would've been about the effort in such races where winning is impossible. What I mean is, if you simply cannot win anymore, you could just throw in the towel and let the AI finish the race. While this is viable, it would undermine the concept of finishing all races. You should still make an effort to go as far as you can. This admittedly becomes tricky if your car is broken, especially to the point where the radiator is blowing along with steering damage.
Ultimately, this is a category that focuses on skill, so I won't touch up on the second part any further, but as always, try to do your best!
I decided to exclude a part of the run to make it more "accessible", by getting rid of the RNG in the beginning. You may start the run from a save file where the first race is completed and start the timer at "Continue"
Wouldn't be fun to keep resetting for that MR2 (or any other car) only to get screwed by RNG later in the run :P
For now, any% remains as it is.
I have taken the liberty of renaming cars that have different names in different regions to the more common ones
These include the cars Vitz (Yaris), FunCargo (Yaris Verso), March (Micra) and Vita (Corsa).
I also gave cars more distinctive names. For example, the car named Sprinter Trueno shall be known as AE86. And Skylines R32, R33 and R34.
Hope that's okay!
Hello,
The all races variant of the Stock Car category is now a main category, as a subcategory. I realized that it's easier this way, plus you no longer have to go to the Misc. tab to see some skillful runs :)

I hate to nitpick but Arenas is the last thing we wanna see with DD2...how about this?
Hey guys,
Sorry for butting in, but I noticed all of you stop the timer when you skip Ramses' speech. That is not the exact timing, I even saw you copied the rules from the PS1 page, which says "timer stops as the corpse of Ramses is picked up"
That's all :p I just feel like it's pointless to delay it for a moment later, as his speech automatically transitions to the ending sequence.
Thebpg13's new PB (and by extent, WR), proved NTSC is just as fast as PAL. Props to SCE(A) for optimizing the game in that regard.
After watching Thebpg13 finish his first console run with NTSC, we learned that NTSC is roughly 10 minutes faster than PAL (Stock Car all races).
Since my best so far, with lots of effort, is 59min flat and Thebpg13 managed 50:15 with a casual run without much effort.
Just putting this in here so people are aware :P
This arose during LowKee's last stream where he opted to stop the timer after reaching the end of the Tomb of Ramses escape part rather than ending it directly after picking up the last doll.
It's not like it makes much of a difference, doing the escape part or not, but I feel like it's pointless after getting the hell outta there twice :P
Ultimately all communities decide on different things how they want, there is strictly no right or wrong in speedrunning. Similar topic is "Does the timer start when you start the game from the main menu or when you gain control of the character?"
Personally I'd prefer stopping the timer just there. What do you guys think?
P.S. It's not a huge issue or anything as the community is rather small and inactive. But if more and more people would happen to join, we're getting back to this topic.
P.P.S. I'm definitely not lazy either, desperately wanting to end the run lol. Just my preference Kappa
I just realized the setups are reset for every single stage, so tuning the car for each stage would take lots of time for RTA, but for IGT it would be beneficial. So, if we were to compete for the IGT only, should there be a separate leaderboard for it? Maybe put the IGT ones in Misc.
