Hi. Does this site enforce regulation over how a run category is defined under it (Such as RTA timing, proper language...) ? If yes, where can I read about them ? Or, is the choice exclusively up to decide by the community of the game leadeboard in question, along with its moderators ? What is the consensus about this question ?

I apologize if this topic is unnecessary, as the question may have been answered somewhere else already. I'll understand if you simply direct me to somewhere else, or remove the topic after a while. To be honest I never ever checked this part of the site until very recently (My account was created in late-2017), and so I'm not very accustomed to the whole thing yet.

Completely unrelated subject, but for some reason browsing the 36th page of this side of the forum leads to an error message.

No Dreamstone on all stages is a real thing ! This is just crazy.

Got 156 on the second extra stage, Chamber o' Horror. This came to be possible with the discovery of a Lunatea's Veil variant "carrying ennemies under low-ceilings" trick.

Description made.

I updated this guide to v1.1, by adding controller imput displays in two of the clips, and some text. Please now refer to that one :

For each of these categories, you will find the game's level selection screen showing all scores at once, and a playlist with all gameplay footage related to them.

I'll respond here whenever something gets updated.

I decided to remake this thread in order to include a "lowest" score section, because while the main game was known to be possible to beat without grabbing a single dreamstone, there wasn't a single word about the two extra stages, which I plan on covering up in the near future. I included Agne567's 0 dreamstone run - which he gave me permission to - into the playlist, so that I don't have to spend a lot of time recording my own footage about all the other stages, even if it would be cleaner to watch. Maybe one day.

[17 january 2023 : this guide is very bad and there currently aren't alternatives. Also, IcKY has expectedly been answered in the server]

[At the 23 June of 2019, the guide in question was now moved to the "Guide" section of this leaderboard. This topic remains here so you can discuss about it] Hey. I have been planning on creating a ressource guide on this game for quite a while now. It took really long to make but the thing is done, at last :

Feel free to ask any questions about this, either right here or at the comment section.

If you're learning this game, I'd suggest joining the Discord server (linked above), as it's more active than here and contain lots of information hardly accessible elsewhere.

For each of these categories, you will find the game's world map picture showing all scores at once, and a playlist with all gameplay footage related to them. I'll respond here whenever something gets updated. (nvm I won't)

For each of these categories, you will find the game's world map picture showing each scores one by one (just like in DtP), but also an explanation for each of them (Since I do not possess gameplay footage about either of these) :

There scores may be improvable, but I probably won't return to them anytime soon.

In summary, the wall-clip in Vision 6-2 requires a setup to make it easier and more consistent, which simply consist of jumping before getting in-contact with this one wall, and looking either the front or back before you start falling down via gravity. After this you simply do 1-frame moves, except that thanks this setup you will generally only need 2, and there are close to no risks falling out-of-bounds. Watching some of the top level runners who use this trick, you can see how this is performed in real-time.

Oh and if you plan on staying here, I would suggest joining our Discord server which is located in another topic in the forum section.

Corrected every albums, except for 5-2. Next planned one is 5-1, but I will take an indefinite break from Klonoa speedruns in general.

I've put a lot more work about that one. May return a final time time to the others, for corrections.

Hi, I'll inform those players right-away, thanks.

One project I had for a while. Planning to document every triggers from every single ennemies in each visions (when that's possible of course). So far I've done 1-1 and 1-2, and the former is avayable here : https://imgur.com/a/3470z

Latter one should come soon, if not today. Please tell me if I forgot any.

Depends mostly on the controller used, but you generally continuously keep looking either up or down, and you try to make left / right moves that lasts for only one frame. More than 1, and the game re-position you to the boundaries, so it's really that tight.

For consistency and hand-stamina, I'd suggest not spamming the buttons. About the precision part, it maintly comes from personnal experience, and everyone has their own methods of doing it.

As far as I know though, there only are a very limited amount of places you can do it, and only one of them is useful for anything (That's for the newer 6-1 skip).

Also if you want to discuss more about the game in a somewhat more active place than here, I'd suggest joining the Klonoa Discord server : https://discord.gg/GBdmpQ

Hi,

I am sorry for not being able to help improve yourself better, I am not that much knowledgeable about this one game in terms of speedrunning. There isn't a lot of runners for this game to begin with, and almost all of them are inactive here.

However, I can still suggest you to join the "Klonoa Speedruns" Discord, if you haven't already : https://discord.gg/ntGJf2 It has channels for every game of the serie (Well, almost), along with this one, and contains very valuable information for the learner, and the opportunity (Albeit small) to chat with other people.

Wish you good luck with your learning

Sorry dude, not much I can help for this. I can, however, suggest that you ask people at Untamed Heart forums, they will prove useful : https://untamedheart.us/
