NOTE: I wanted to post this a long time ago, but I was very busy.

On November 10, 2024, I went back to analyze the runs of “Super Mario Advance 2: Super Mario World Category Extensions”

• I received a run to analyze and ended up having some difficulties with the initial frame;

• We've already defined for years that it's also used on the main leaderboard, that the time starts exactly when you select the save slot at the same time as the screen goes dark;

• But I wanted something that would leave the times at exactly the right and only frame And I came up with some good results, which are these:

• From now on all the runs posted on the site will follow this specific frame on the start screen (other information will also be in the more detailed time analysis guide);
• Which has already been verified on other versions of the game (USA, EUR, JPN and CHN) and other platforms (audio test videos and synchronizations);

All times have been changed/updated and some positions have also changed

Extra

To make things easier, I've added a short video of what it's like to be timed just right, very similar to Super Mario World on the Super Nintendo.

• The rules have been updated with more details.

• It's a lot, but if you know all this information/rules, you won't have any problems on other GBA game leaderboards.

• What are the settings needed for the emulation: Emulator Settings (mGBA or BizHawk) https://www.speedrun.com/sma2ce/guide/v19aj

Although this particular leaderboard is not very active we have decided to disable the comments due to the comment trolling on other boards. We rather disable the comments before problems start to happen.
