New Leaderboard Changes

Regarding the loading time discussion, we have found a solution!

From now on, the best PC and console runs will be manually retimed without loads. The world record (WR) will now be the fastest time without loads. There are some requirements for a run to be retimed without loads.

Requirements:

1:Your run must be within a specific time frame of the world record:

Any%: 2m 30s

Any% Wrong Warp: 1m

All Main Stages: 2m 30s

Individual Worlds: 1m

All Gems and 100%: These categories currently have no runs on the board, and we are not planning on manually retiming them due to time constraints.

2:Your run must be the fastest run on your respective platform (PC, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X/S. "The Xbox is considered one group").

3: The run must maintain a stable framerate, with 60fps being preferred.

You are NOT allowed to submit a retimed run yourself. However, you are allowed to send a retimed video, but the version with loads must be the "Main/Front" video. We will only submit your time without loads if it meets the criteria mentioned above.

These criteria will be updated as the game’s popularity grows.

What constitutes a time without loads:

The first frame when the playable character is visible until the first frame where the goal is met (destroying the goal post, the last hit on a boss, etc.)In AMS and The individual world and the bonus stages the in game timer will be used.

The first frame where the boat is visible until the first frame where the level select enter (bottem right) shows or at bonus stages when the currency isnt visible .

The first frame where the playable character isn’t visible until the first frame where the playable character appears in stage loading screens (not including skippable animations).

We hope that everyone competing for a world record is now playing on an equal playing field.
