Any questions go here.

You know how the rules on NG+ Any% say that you can use cheats? Well, I noticed that in your (srakso99's) NG+ Any% runs you never use cheats. This made me realize something, though. I think that there should be a new run category added called, "NG+ Any% (Cheats)". This would make more diversity in how a person would want to run the game. I personally like to run NG+ Any%, but with cheats (my current run on the leaderboards in NG+ Any% is without cheats, since you didn't use them). I like NG+ with cheats because of tricks that you can do with the Quantum Cannon, i.e., On Mission 10 you can use it to shoot through the wall that is only supposed to open after you meet Otto and get to the rocket. This saves a ton of time and skips two cutscenes. But the point is that I don't want the cheats runs to get mixed with the no cheats NG+ Any% runs, you know? But if you want to keep cheats and no cheats NG+ Any% runs mixed together, I guess that's fine, I would just prefer two different categories for cheats and no cheats. [Example below] -Any%

-NG+ Any%

-NG+ Any% (Cheats)

-All Challenges

-100%

I made NG+ Cheats as a Misc. category. :)

does PC mean(or include) playing on dolphin(emulator)?

I believe PC and emulator are different. If you have a physical HWVX disc that you put into your PC and play, then you just have the PC version. If someone wanted to submit a run of HWVX on an emulator, they would select what version of the game they are emulating (PC, GameCube, or PS2) and then check the "emulator" box. I'm pretty sure that's what someone would have do.

alright thank you.

Can we get ILs for collecting the gears+key in each joyride level? Also, maybe ILs for individual missions/challenges?

Yeah I agree, it'd be nice to have Joyride collectibles, Missions, and Challenges as their own ILs.

Could my two IL runs get verified? Must’ve slipped by the mods somehow.

You probably noticed on my submission to NG+ Any% (Cheats), my video didn't have sound. I uploaded it again to my channel and its got sound now, is there any way the video linked to the run can be changed to the one with sound? I'm happy to resubmit it if need be.

Edit: I found where I can edit runs; all I did was change the video link, thx in advance

Could we get those Joyride ILs added? It would probably look something like Joyride: Monument City, etc. I have a very fast Monument City Joyride that I will be uploading regardless. If the category is added, the timing should start when you hit Enter to make the pop-up box disappear. (A box pops up in every Joyride at the start that says what you have collected, so you can wait on that screen as long as you want, and then when you hit Enter the timing starts). This would also make the category the same for all console versions and the PC version, because there are no load screens involved. I highly suggest this. If you don’t feel like doing this, you can appoint me as a mod and I will add them.

Hi! I just got back into playing emulators and was wondering if using emulators like PCSX2 was allowed in speedruns? If so; Is there a possibility of challenge IL's being added?

I absolutely loved this game as a kid and I still adore 15+ years later as I am completing a new 100% file since little kid me never got to, rip that disc lmao Anyways, hope whoever reads this has a wonderful day/night and thanks for giving me your time :3

Emulators are allowed (PCSX2, Dolphin, etc.). There are already a lot of different level runs that can be done (Drag Races, Joyrides, Missions), but I suppose it would make sense to add the Challenges. I'll go ahead and add them.

Thank you so much for the challenge IL's! I'm actually learning how to speedrun from your videos rn lol and also did my first speedrun of 100%, may have taken 4 hours, but it was worth the effort required. I think I'm gonna keep practicing and learn how to do the boost exploit(I only got it to work once or twice during the run?).

Ahoy! I've noticed that Velocity X for the GBA is slightly different, could that get it's own speedrun.com page or perhaps a meme ("extension") category? I suggest it's own page because it has it's own Story Mode 100% and 37 IL's and 10 Challenge mode IL's that I have completed runs of already, and some modes such as Race Mode that I haven't even tried running because you can customize the amount of laps from 1-9 for 15 different courses so I felt that might be overkill.

It still has the mechanic of unlocking things with a password and I used the password beforehand to use the fastest car so, if you want to split it up into a Cheats vs No Cheats category you can just put mine in the Cheats category I guess.

Hello! I would say a new page would need to be made, like how there's a speedrun.com page for "Hot Wheels: World Race", and a different page for "Hot Wheels: World Race (GBA)". We would need a "Hot Wheels: Velocity X (GBA)" page made.

Since this is your run, and no else has talked about running this game on speedrun.com before, would you like to request the game to be added to speedrun.com via this form? https://www.speedrun.com/support/tickets/new

If the game is accepted, which it very likely would be, then you will automatically be a mod on the game. Then, you will be able to set up the categories in the most logical and fair way you believe makes sense for the game. This would likely mean, at the very least, creating an "Any%" category where you play through the game on a fresh file and unlock better cars as you go, and also an "NG+ Any%" category where you beat the main campaign, but with all cars already unlocked, so you can use the best car from the start. Lastly, a 100% category could be added if you want. There could be more categories than just those, but those are always a good starting point. Once the game is accepted, you can add me as a mod if you need help with anything. Let me know if you have any questions!

Awesome I just submitted the ticket, let the wait begin!
