This is unfortunately not a useful glitch. If you select a level or restart and happen to be holding a direction button, the timer won't start until you press another button. There may need to be added rules to the leaderboard to fix any issues this could bring to the ILs.

If I find any interesting strategies or glitches I will put them here.

Has there been any thought introducing some “ILs” like the mini games?

It could be nice to have some shorter categories so you don’t have to dedicate so much time to one run

The current way the board is set up leaves very little room for possible improvement and expansion. With the current category, you would just pick a one minute match, score a point, and avoid your opponent. In my opinion this is suffocating the games speedrun potential.

I believe that this game could use some new (and improved ) categories

10 Points 15 Points 20 Points 25 Points Relatively simple category of picking that as the score to get as fast as possible. Time starts at begining of Coin Flip cutscene to when the You Win! screen appears.

Max score In all the available time limits try and get the highest score possible. While that is more Highscore based it would still be great to see. Still my least favorite of my recommendations.

Dunk% Score% 2 simple categories that would bring a nice quick run to the board. Could be sub categories under Score, Shoot and Dunk.

That are my ideas for possible categories to add to the board and bring more life to this games speedrunning community.

How about a highscore that doesn't involve how many mazes

What about for the Xbox One?

It's all just the same level with maybe more ghosts. No point having them

There should be a Highscore category and a Points category, like getting 1000 points.

Could you add Xbox One as a platform type. My runs are done on Xbox One.

I don't see a point in having them, you probably have all 3 stars if you just beat the level.

What if we have a new category that is max% where you need max possible points or low% with little points as possible

The GBA version is totally different. There should be a different category or something like that.
