I saw some speedrun didn't reset the level on every try. does it mean I can collect every fruit and die so that I can get a better 100 percent run. or I could collect more fruit before a do a legit run so that character like eggnog can have more advantage. if that is the case I might try some run like these. and I'm new to this forum so there may have some rules I missed. Since I couldn't find a full list of rules.
Hello! Basically, yes you need to reset the level at every try, if you don't do that, we will calculate your time based on actual time and not what the game tells you.
Example: if you have a run where you go around and collect every fruit, then die and pass the level normally, the time starts when you first enter the level, not when you die. However, because the game restarts the clock, we need to time is ourselves with tools like retimers available online.
Hope that cleared up the confusion!
Is this the same thing for Any% runs? because in Any% runs it doesn't matter what amount of fruits you have since you're not going to be picking up any checkpoints. Also, if I stop at a checkpoint (where the IGT stops), does the official run timer continue or can I like chill for a few seconds? thanks in advance and have a good day.
