Lots of Changes to Improve the Page

Hey everyone, I've made/will be making a variety of changes now that I'm a moderator of this game. Don't worry, nothing crazy haha, just a few necessary things to make sure we are all playing on even footing and a few new exciting things.

First, I've made a few housekeeping changes:

-Wii VC was added as a platform (thanks to 0xwas for pointing out that was missing) -Proper release date (not that this is all that important...) -Some behind-the-scenes game info -Fixed broken Twitch links

The most important change is rules. All Cups lacked rules at all and Tournament Cups was vague on when to start and stop the timer. Now that this has been made easier to understand, I'll be adjusting past submitted runs accordingly. Don't worry, it's only by about a second if you started the timer on Cup selection and not "singles" selection. And if you stopped on cup presentation, you'll be getting time back :).

The exciting new part is categories. Now there is a place for Doubles runs to be submitted for all run types (and a separate leaderboard of course), as well as Star Cups only to go along with All Cups, which includes the Star Cups and Tournament Cups in one "marathon".

If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask here in the forums, in the Mario Tennis series discord, or DM me on discord. Happy running!

Hello again! Now that we've got a bit of a community together here, it's finally time to address the biggest issue on the board- the advantages of using an emulator or the Virtual Console. For those who are unaware, the VC has shorter load times (before cup presentations) and less (perhaps no) lag frames, which applies mostly to the replay cutscenes between points. I've determined that the only way to handle this that is fair to all runners is to make separate boards for each platform. Otherwise, VC will have an advantage that makes it the only way to play in a game where every second counts when it's supposed to be a convenient way to play the game, not a requirement for WR. While separate boards are not ideal for a game with a relatively small number of runs compared to other games that utilize a similar system (i.e. SM64), there unfortunately isn't really another option right now.

If anyone has any suggestions related to this issue or anything else about the board, feel free to post it here or mention it on discord. I'm stoked that a community for this game is beginning to develop. Happy running!

Hello everyone,

I've updated a few minor things.

  1. Redundancies in wording for not allowing certain categories to be run on VC/EMU, when submission exists for those categories. We used to not have things as clean-cut as they are nowadays; just a little house-keeping!

  2. Changed wording regarding Everdrive/ROMs/Converters. Officially, they are banned for use with runs submitted to the leaderboards. This includes ACTUALLY running with them, AND for using them to manipulate RNG factors, boost character stats of imported GBC characters (if you chose to use them), etc. The reasons for banning is a non-exhaustive list. Inhuman advantages are not what we'd like here - every sensible speedrunning community has prohibited the use of these devices for legitimate submissions of their respective game(s), and we are no different. :)

  3. Happy 2025 and best wishes to everyone! I know this game doesn't see much activity lately, but it's fun to hop in and see how people are playing when new runs are submitted. Best of luck and happy speedrunning!
