Japanese PS2 is faster than Xbox, im sure, as the slower skips for xbox, and the level changes and the boss changes make JP PS2 the 2nd faster version, because it easily competes with the Gamecube Version, imo I feel Xbox should be third on this list and JP 2nd

So now it's not going by the original IL timing anymore?

Edit: I feel like this should apply to all IL's as technically speaking that would mean we're timing from the first frame we start to the first frame the level ends. Also, I think it would be more organized if we still had a universal timing across all the leaderboards

Okay, I'll get on that when I get home, thank you ruse

For the mods:

I've been wondering if there should be 152 and 189 Variants to the leaderboards as how RTA 100% is on the leaderboards as well. I plan to do IL runs for both of these categories to better show off their run exclusive strats, to not only show the strats, but to also assist others looking for them.

Thanks in advance!

I use a Diamond Multimedia One Touch VC500, it doesn't record HDMI but it gets the job done

Thank you for the fast reply, and info

Hello, I'm slightly interested in running this game, and I would like to ask if there's big differences between the versions. I own the PS1 version personally, and since the rules are very simple this leads to my second question: Is video Required? If I do a PS1 speedrun, it means I get WR, but will I need Video for any run on the leaderboard? Thanks in advance

On the JP version there is no real exclusive skip, just alternate methods, but as far as in your case, the only disadvantage you are in is playing on the Playstation 2, but other than that, you should be good. Good luck!

Good Luck!

As far as I'm aware, there's no difference in playing on a Wii or a Gamecube, it's really just what's convenient for you.

That sounds like a cool idea, however there isnt a way to skip Squid Baron 2.0 iirc

It should be allowed, but because its nearly impossible on console (as far as i've tested atleast) It most likely would not be used unless its on a PC run, but due to the lower framerate you showed for a consistent way of re-creating the glitch it would make the run maybe even more slower for PC

Yea, rules should be changed

What do you mean? Proof of his placement? Or proof of the run? If its the second one is doesnt matter as its only sub 1 not sub 50.

Yes, on USA PS2 The game loads about a minute slower over the course of an Any% run compared to a GC copy. And GC 1.1 is faster due to Volcanic Panic Skip, so GC 1.1 would be the fastest version of the game to run on.

1. The fastest version of the game is the gamecube version, so a wii will work fine.

2. Watch TheRuseman's Wr Individual level RTA (not Time Trial) runs and try to follow what he does, soon you will get it as most of it is muscle memory.

Good Luck!

Okay, I'll give it a shot, Thank you!

I've been noticing that the game gets a great amount of lag in the area where bowser's sub is. Has there been a solution to this problem?
