UPDATE: 23/08/2023

Grammar has been updated on several rules for better understanding.

Formatting has also been updated for better readability.

General game rules:

(Updated) ~~Holding down the enter key will instantly skip any cinematic in the game.~~
Holding down the Enter key will freeze any cinematic in the game, and will only be skipped once the key is released.

This is a left-over from Oddysee's rules, it has been updated to match Exoddus' behavior regarding skipping cutscenes.

(Updated) ~~Runs performed on emulators (including RELIVE) are temporarily banned.~~
Runs performed on emulators or RELIVE are temporarily banned.

RELIVE isn't an emulator. That rule has been rephrased to avoid confusion.

(Updated) ~~Save glitches are those that involve some kind of quiksave / quikload corruption on the game.~~
Save glitches are those that involve some kind of save / load corruption on the game through Quiksaves or normal saves.

Normal saves weren't mentioned as part of save glitches, implicitly suggesting they were allowed. They apply to the same rules as QS/QL glitches.

Category rules:

Global

(Updated) ~~The backwards jump glitch for going through the walls or OOB is not allowed.~~
Auto-turn delay in order to go through floors/walls thanks to glitches like the backward jump is not allowed.

Only backward jump was mentioned here, implicitly suggesting going through floors thanks to the auto-turn delay alone was allowed. ATD is now mentioned being prohibited as a whole.

(Updated) ~~Quicksave/quickload glitches are not allowed.~~
Save glitches are not allowed.

This now covers save glitches as a whole. See general game rules for a definition of save glitches.

100% NMG

(Added) Duplicating Mudokons is not allowed.

The rule was missing, Mudokon duplication is banned in every category.
