(maybe the question as yet be asked) Why not remove the intro of the game and just begin the timer of the runs as soon as the last text of the intro is skipped?
probably because thats not "the start of the game" tecnicaly but yeah, that should save a lot lol
I mean, ~35 seconds is a long time, but that's just an unavoidable thing. Think about it like SM64, it's incredibly optimized, but they don't need to change timing because it's been the same always.
We would like to announce that VC and EMU subcategories are now active on the Stage RTA leaderboards (under "Levels"). Stage RTA involves collecting all the stars in a given stage including the 100 coin star. Timing starts on star select and ends upon collecting the final star. You are allowed to us
