Since the game most likely changed between the beta and the official release of the game, it would be considered 2 completely different versions and therefore, it's not comparable. It would need to be a different category or sub-category.

Before even considering adding the category, I would require a full run from someone.

Thank you!

There is still a lot to figure out and that's the beauty of it. Like Grumpmeister said, it is a great time to get started since we're currently trying to find routes and strategies :)

We don't have a Hotel Mario discord server, so if you have questions you can message me or grump, or type it in the forum for others to benefit from it !

Enjoy, the game is definitely not as bad as many would think it is!!

It's a fair issue to discuss. On my end, I feel like comparing gameplay time is the main priority. We're at a point where some categories are becoming more and more optimized, so it can be a deciding factor. Plus, we want the leaderboard to be accessible to everybody, so we don't want people to pay hundreds of dollars to gain an advantage on others.

The solution you proposed was briefly mentioned a couple months ago by moderators when we talked about the game order for some categories, so I think it's fair. If we go with that, we would need to set some rules (i.e. when do we start counting after the switch (bootup, individual game rules), is there a time limit between games, what do we do with the game order since loading time will not be a factor anymore, etc).

I'm curious for other opinions! We will check this out for sure with the other mods before making a decision.

I'm in for either warpless or any%

I'm using an Everdrive-N8 because when I stream I don't want to get up every time to reset, but that's okay, I will adjust my setup and put the NES closer to me ! Thank you for your answer, I appreciate!

Regarding the save state on the title screen, is the Super Mario/Duck Hunt selection screen okay or it is prohibited also? Thanks
