Rule Changes Forum Thread

New Hampshire, USA

Hello everyone! This forum thread will be used to announce new rule changes to the MCMG leaderboard.

The first new rule change for this thread is that the "Alt Fast" timer in Vs. SMB is no longer allowed, effective 12/15/2023. "Alt Fast" has been allowed and used in Decathlon speedruns for years, however due to it not being native to the official version of Vs. SMB (which poses an automatic advantage over the actual version of the game), we have come to the conclusion to ban it. Please keep this in mind when doing future Decathlon/SMB1 Engine speedruns.

Thank you for reading, and happy speedrunning!

MiSTer is allowed for all categories except credits warps. There are concerns regarding the accuracy of MiSTer during the execution of SMB3 7-1 wrong warp, so it will be banned in credits warps until further notice.

We will also be adding a rule regarding game audio. It is strongly advised to include game audio in your submissions. Not that this has been an issue in the past, we never had a rule on it and wanted to add one for clarification purposes. No audio does not mean auto reject but can result in it if a run with no audio seems too suspicious.

MiSTer has been proven to handle the 7-1 wrong warp in SMB3, therefore we will allow it for the Credits Warps categories.

SGB1 is now allowed for Marifteen Minute. SGB1 runs at a faster clockspeed than the original Gameboy and SGB2 (which both run at the same clockspeed), and for a long time MCMG runs did not convert SGB1 times. Given that we now do convert SGB1 times for MCMG speedruns, we do not think there would be an issue allowing it for Marifteen Minute. Especially since it is already allowed for Decathlon and SML1+SML2.
