Ok. This question may have been answered already but I haven't seen it posted so here I am. Anyway regarding the question, I was wondering whether android runs are viable or not as I was playing today and realized that I could complete a sub 4 minute run. Of course, I don't think this is a legal strategy for Supertuxkart speedrunning but I just wanted to know what could be done.
I think we used to have an android category, but was removed, probably because it was considered unnecessary.
No, this run would be rejected. I will clarify this in the General Rules.
There were once a separate Android category, but as such runs are really uninteresting given the direct access to the final level, it was removed. Android Runs for ILs are accepted, however.
If the Story Mode in Android one day becomes the same as in Windows or Linux, we could start accepting Android Full Runs and put them in the same category as the other ones. But if it is just a stripped down version of the "Desktop" one, we should not have a separate category.
