Hello all,

Please give feedback when you get a chance. I wanted to suggest an additional category to pacifist: a variation if you will. In this category, you still can’t destroy enemies in the levels, and you must still use your pea shooter (low% rules) however, you would be allowed to destroy projectiles in boss fights; destroy the tanks in snowfield, and also destroy the shrimp in the alien head, as that’s technically a mini-boss.

I’m suggesting this, because speedrunning should have varied categories to give people a confidence builder, from going one category to the next. Also, it can give more practice of pacifist, in the later stages, in addition to more practice of low percent

In short, there would be two pacifist categories: the one that is currently active, and then an additional category where it’s more of a pacifist/low% hybrid

Please leave any feedback when you can. Thanks!

Is the hyper knee allowed for non-attack situations? For example, using a hyper knee at the gear section: whether it was intentional or not.

Thanks again in advance!

Hey MM5 board,

If players are playing on the US version, their time should automatically be cut down by 18 seconds, cause the Japanese version scrolls through the text/Wily Castle cut-scene quicker *on the MM leaderboards, they make that 18 second adjustment as well

*edit: there’s a legacy/anniversary board, I see

Please let me know what your thoughts are when you get a chance. Thanks in advance!

I've tried submitting a run in the past, but got a "server error", and then trying to submit it again today-getting the same thing. Just bringing it to someone's attention-maybe it's something on my end? Anyways, just checking in.

Should runs on the Contra Anniversary Collection be a separate category, or should they be combined into the same category? On the page, as of now, it only allows or shows “Arcade”

On the Contra Arcade board, the Anniversary collection is allowed. (Switch, etc)

Please get back to me when you can. Thanks

My route A run isn’t playable/viewable, despite it still being public on my Youtube channel-I didn't make it unlisted or anything. Can the mods please take a look, when they get a chance.

Thanks, ThumbBros

Hey everyone, I'm looking to try some runs of Rival Turf. Is "Angry Mode" allowed? I think I saw a run that had someone use that option, but then another, that didn't.

Thanks again!
