I was wondering if running this game on the Anniversary Collection was allowed. I don't see the collection as a game on Speedrun.com and contra/super C allows it. Just wondering, thanks.
It would simply result in the making of a new category which likely almost nobody will run since GameBoy emulation is more convenient. But technically we cannot ban it since it's an official release. But whether the collection is emulating the game accurate or not, we don't know since no tests have been made.
All this collection is, is just an emulation of the game that we have no knowledge of, so I would just use the emulators WE do know of. But if you absolutely must then a new category would be made for someone to get a free world record for. On the off chance tests are made in the future and it turns out it is accurate enough to merge with current existing board, then submissions for the "anniversary category" would be transfered over.
