Do we need this hilarious category? You can't start for the yellow toad in JP version. But like in this video you can start for 2p and die with the green toad. I approved this run, but if we have this category I think we must include 2p start on video in every attempt. And also when we shoud start the timer? it's reasonable to start the timer when you start with the yellow toad only, but making a savestate or something should be prohibited I think. If we leave this category it will be annoying as hell to start every attempt in a legit way. So I don't know what to do with this category :D

Seeing how the yellow toad is not too popular even in the US version I would think that there wouldn't be too many entries to this JAP category since it's so annoying to get started. But more categories is more, although not having the yellow toad JAP category probably wouldn't keep anyone from getting into running this game.

Maybe just start the timer when both toads hit the ground in the beginning and include the death of the green toad as a part of the run in this category? I don't know. :D

Yeah I think for this category that the killing of the green toad should be included in the time, making it even more funny.

For the starting time i would do, when green toad continue countdown screen fade to cutscene or as usual any%,when toad hit the ground. In my opinion we shoudn't allowed save state in any way, it should be done in right way as every speedrun

Like example, in duck tales 1, Best ending category players found, that they could manipulate rng and item drop by just waiting 6 whole minute in title screen, and nobody told or to make it easier for runners to running the game by save states or change logs in Emulators, they wait this 6 min, so in battletoads this setup to play for yellow toad should be like showed in this video, killing green toad and then speedrun begin, of course it followed resets between attempts
