In my All Sports runs, boxing can be a little bit of a runkiller. The difference between only needing to knock your opponent down once and three times seemed random at times, but I’m beginning to wonder if it’s actually random. Is there a known way to make boxing more consistent, or is it just RNG-based?

Recently, I submitted a run and video where I did NSMBU Any% Normal in New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe in 58:19. In reality, my last hit on Bowser was at 58:19.2, but I stopped the timer at 58:19.8, so I can sort of understand rounding it to 58:20. But I swear I put in 58:19 when submitting the run, but my time on the leaderboard was delayed by 3 seconds, so it displayed 58:22. So, I’m confused about what could have happened for a 3-second delay in the time. Does anyone else know?
