Hey there! I just want to let all of the moderators and anyone who it may concern know that you will be seeing an unusual increase in run submissions next month! This is because of the new monthly speedrunning competition, Surprise Speedruns, where players are challenged to learn a randomly-selected game every month and then participate in a $100 race at the end of the month. In February, our main speedrun will be Super Adventure Island II Any%!
Unfortunately anyone on the leaderboard before the creation of this thread is not able to participate in the competition because you wouldn't be learning the game from scratch, but we would really appreciate it if you considered joining the Surprise Speedruns Discord server if you are interested in helping our runners learn the game! We will even give you a special role in the server so people know who they can talk to! When you join, make sure to ping me (@Violin) and let me know you're from the SAI2 community! https://discord.gg/hSbcFJ7
Thank you for taking your time to read this, and I look forward to running this game with all the other newcomers!
