SupporterHi Everyone,
Just a quick reminder that while not all runs require video proof, those that do MUST show the VS Race settings screen either immediately before or immediately after the run is over or else they cannot be accepted. The one exception is cup runs done in Grand Prix mode since there is no settings screen
Unfortunately Google link shorteners are no more, so the doc linked to in the rules is broken. If you want proof thresholds you can find them for the base game here https://www.speedrun.com/mk8dx/forums/k76ek. I am working on a similar post / update for DLC, but for now just assume that if you're within 10 minutes of record on any category (or within 10 seconds of record for cup categories) that you should include video proof just to be safe
Hey everyone,
Wave 6 is just around the corner, and the mod team would like your feedback on some ideas we’ve been kicking around regarding new speedrun categories and updates to existing categories
If you could fill out the survey linked below, that would be awesome, but here’s the short version of what we’re thinking about. Note that this is designed to give us more data about where the community is at, and we will use our best judgement to decide how best to proceed:
- Incorporating breaks into the 96 track categories and adding a filter for breaks versus no breaks.
- Deciding which subcategories of the BCP, if any, we want to have on the main leaderboard
- Removing the requirement that CPU difficulty be set to hard
IF YOU WANT TO DO 96 TRACK RUNS IMMEDIATELY PLEASE TAKE NOTE:
As far as incorporating breaks into the 96 track categories, we have not yet finalized where the breaks should happen, or how long the breaks should be, and will hold off on creating those categories until the rules are finalized. We recommended if you are going to be doing 96 track runs when Wave 6 drops that you do not incorporate breaks into your runs until the categories are live on speedrun.com to ensure that your runs are valid regardless of what we end up deciding
Please fill out the survey below whenever you get a chance. We've also created discussion threads in the discord that you can find in the #dlc-discussion channel

Hey everyone, just looking for advice on how to hit the NISC at the end of the lap on Dry Dry Desert. I've watched a lot of WR vids, and so I get that you want to get an SMT, but I don't know if / when / how I'm supposed to hop. Some vids it looks like they only hop once, some vids it looks like they hop multiple times, but no matter what I do, it seems like 95% of the time I end up running out of SMT WAY before I get back on the track. Thanks in advance
