Hey, I discovered the game because I used scratch 1 year ago, when I speedrun the game today, I know the intro animation by heart and I find that the game is not very practical to speedrunner. My question is: are you interested in a remix version of the game designed for the speedrun that I would have created myself?
I can add features like the ability to skip the introduction, reset reset and even a built-in stopwatch and replay function (if I have time). I am particularly addressing the moderators because it is up to them to decide whether such a version is eligible or not.

It's really up to TornadoTwisterYT, but I think it would be valid. I know the Getting Over It Scratch Edition community mostly does runs on their modpack. I could also help with some features like an autosplitter and load remover.
I hadn't thought about autosplitting it but it's a good idea. However I would keep everything else in the game intact, I would not fix bugs or improve performance (unless you want to)

Yeah don't fix bugs or improve performance, then the underlying game would be different and runs wouldn't be allowed
That's what I told myself, so I know a lot about scratch but I think that creating such a remix will take me a little time, maybe a month or more.
I have a lot to talk about here, so brace yourselves :( First, if you are creating such a project, I encourage you to separate the new code from the old one (eg. move it to a new sprite) because the mods are going to have to check that the mod (lol) didn't change the core script. Second, I have made a similar mod before (I trashed the project), so I can confidently say that the built-in timer and the autosplitter is surprisingly easy to make. You just have to know which function does what thing. Third, in my opinion, we don't really need a replay function, because we can just record the speedrun instead. Also, it would make it hard to determine if a run is TAS or RTA. Finally, in completely unrelated news, I made a very simple mod yesterday where you can practice later sections of the run without having to do the whole game every time. You can try it here: https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/902791987/ (you can also steal my code)
I like this idea. As long as you don't fix any bugs, I like this idea. I would also like to see a practice remix, with level select. I approve this. Go wild.
Ok P4radox, I think your practice mod is good, so I wouldn't create a practice in my mod (I'll probably steal some code). Thank you also for the programming tips (I was already planning to apply some of them). I'm going to start by creating the counters and the autosplitter.
Just a question: do I have the right to remove code or entire sprites? I intend to remove the intro as in the practice mod of P4radox but I wonder if I should not remove the sprites related to this intro because they are useless.
I also started writing a comment in my separate sprite to include all the changes made to the game (modified code, ect)

I created the LRT and RTA chronometer as well as the autosplitter. I'll create a custom view instead of displaying variables. I'm still waiting for an answer to my question above.

I wouldn't get rid of the whole intro. Maybe make it automatically appear.
Je ne me débarrasserais pas de toute l'intro. Peut-être le faire apparaître automatiquement.
I'm done: Super Mario For Scratch 4 speedrun edition on Scratch (mit.edu)
Please let me know about bugs/issues and better locations for timers. Other information is in the project description.
I've got it done... but I can't find where to switch it out of the summary view and not the individual leaderboard.
For the new level leaderboard. I meant to post in the other forum, I have about 15 tabs open and selected the wrong one.
By the way LRT doesn't work and is just RTA and I would prefer if when it starts the timer is set to total.
I made a new autosplitter that has LRT, the total time, and rounding to the hundredth. Hope it works. https://scratch.mit.edu/projects/904582489/
CB09 gave us the first sub 9 in SMFS4 History. I don't have anything else to add here, congratulations CB09. Typo in title oops
