Ohio, USASo when I played the game casually, I had a weird game crash. I had just set the high score for FAST in the arcade, and tried to get to the jetpack game as quickly as possible. As soon as the game said I won, I exited and started the jetpack game, which caused a game crash. Now I always try to be as wary as possible when transferring between games, but that also loses time. Not sure what caused the crash!
Hey all,
Some exciting news! I just crushed my previous world record with a 1:14:40, but unfortunately, I wasn't recording. However, I feel really good about my speedrun for the charity marathon tomorrow.
My run is at 3:00 PM EST on Saturday, February 1st (tomorrow!)
I'll make another forum post right before I go live. Stop by and make a donation if you can!
UPDATE
My run is scheduled for 2:55 PM (Eastern Standard Time, USA) on Saturday. I'll post here again when I'm about to go live! I'm going to try to beat my world record on the stream.

I think the any% and 100% categories are already short enough that we wouldn't need a timed category that's just a "shortened" version of those runs.
I've encountered 2 game crashes so far. I can't remember what happened with the first one, but the most recent one happened in the arcade. I set the high score for FAST, cancelled out of the game before it showed my score, then inserted a coin into the jetpack game, causing the crash. My theory is that launching another arcade game while the game is trying to save your score from a different arcade game crashes the whole thing.
TL;DR Don't jump between arcade games too quickly after setting a high score!
Neewx is the moderator right? I guess it's official: save warping legal!
Can we submit high scores for the arcade games on this site, or is it for times only?
It's not listed in the rules whether or not save warping is legal. We should probably make a ruling on that!
