I've never been very interested in 100% categories so I never bothered to route one, the player base is you and me and whoever has a run on SDA. (I only really pick up the game once a year at this point to improve the record) It's hard for people to get this game since it's not available to buy anywhere these days so growing the player base is pretty difficult. That said if you would like to route 100% feel free to do so.

In my limited testing with both console versions I've found that the wii u version lags in the icy fortress for whatever reason, the other things you mentioned I didn't notice but it's good to know! Going over your run for verification right now, hope you are enjoying speed running the game!

Hi, Since this game is literally impossible to buy these days if you submit an emu run its fine, also no one runs this game.

thanks for the replies everyone, I am actually taking notes on the route right now.

I am interested in speed running, is japanese absolutely nessecary for the run?

I.E. Are there exclusive tricks to the JP version that drastically cut down the run time or is it the same across all regions?
