Hey everyone!

Taking effect immediately, the version category of PS2/HD has been split into the HD and Overdrive versions, as well as the GCN & Xbox versions being separated now. If there is enough platform diversity down the line in HD, it might get specific too, but for the time being, that does not feel entirely necessary. I have retroactively moved runs to the correct versions based on platforms.

As for timing, it was brought to my attention that the GCN version does not notify the player of a level's time upon completion, and upon further research, the Xbox version does not either. Although it may have been so, for the sake of clarity I am declaring that these two versions are to be timed via RTA, and as such will be re-timed in the verification process. To be transparent, the time will begin in the first frame from the loading screen, and end upon the continue prompt appearing with whatever respective button, in the bottom right corner. Runs already submitted will have no timing changes retroactively made to them at this time.

HD and Overdrive will remain timed as IGT, as the game so graciously tells you what your time is.

Clarifications have been made in the rules pop-ups that with the exception of certain full-game categories, game settings are to be left untouched from each version's default. This is what necessitated further platform separation, for those wondering, as these settings are not consistently set across some versions.

That about sums it up. I look forward to not only seeing new submissions, as we've been seeing some new faces, but also seeing you in the Discord.
