Hello all

Earlier today Mario Party 2 had, in my opinion, the best possible format for records. With original hardware n64, vc and 64 emulation all being separate categories. This has been changed again since then.

Going back to the way it was before, with emulation and OH n64 records all jumbled together muddles both WR's

Emulation is the great equaliser when it comes to speedrunning. It allows European players to play faster NTSC versions of the games and be able to compete with the world. Trying to just hide this section due to it being faster due to emulation is a bit unfair in the grand scheme of things. The fact it is a quicker game means that it is needed to be separate

In my opinion, there should be three WR's, OH, VC and emu. All three equally as valid as the next.

This is just my opinion but I think the current way should be reviewed

Hey Half-X,

The issue of emulators in speedruns will always be a debate. There's no clear-cut answer and it's especially hard to find a compromise when there's a difference between the emulation and the official hardware.

To find this compromise, I'd like to invite you to this discord to talk more about this. This also applies to anyone else who wants to: it's a general mario party speedrunning discord. It'll be easier to talk there, and we'll be able to get the input of more people.
