In goatville, you take a lamp post into the Mario Pipe and finish right as you enter the pipe.

Is this a reference to Rake in the Lake from Untitled Goose Game? :p

I find it a little bit lackluster of a category if I'm honest. Have you done a run yet?

I haven't but it shouldn't take very long to do one.

I have completed a run

Here is a link to a YouTube video of my record.

I just uploaded it so it may take a moment before you can watch it.

We got a thing! https://www.speedrun.com/goatm?h=Pole_in_the_Hole&x=z279wz4d

@Merpswell Unfortunately, I've chosen loading into the stage as a starting point, so your video would not be valid.

Oh okay. I’ll be sure to record the entire thing next time. Thank you for letting me know

I have a question because I’m not certain about this but when we start the level do we have to be the normal goat or can we select our goat before going into the level?

Since it's a NG+ stage, feel free to be whatever

Hey I was looking at the newest run for pole in the hole and I wanted to ask what the rules were again. Originally we said that you had to get a pole and jump in the hole but in the most recent run the runner did not have to grab the pole. Do we just have to get into the sub area or do we actually need to grab the pole?

For as memey as this category is, as of right now, the rules are to do it intended. Since the category is named Pole in Hole% (I literally didn't know I messed up the name, but I'll leave it), glitching in the pipe would not be worthy of the run.
