The 3DS eshop release of ecco the dolphin has super dolphin mode, shouldn’t that be a category? And shouldn’t the 3DS be listed as a platform? I was thinking of running this game but since I’m a wimp I don’t think I’d want to run it without super dolphin mode.

I’m trying to speedrun a game that I haven’t seen anyone speedrun before (Ever Oasis is the game in case you’re wondering) how should I go about timing it? I’m thinking the timer starts when you select yes to begin your adventure but I’m not sure when to end the timer. The timer could end when you make the final hit to the chaos dragon (in this game it gives you a cool effect when the boss dies, I’m thinking when that effect shows up so you know you beat it) but I’m afraid that might be a bit hard to time correctly. I found a point in the game just a couple seconds later where a textbox pops up, I’m thinking maybe I should end the timer at this textbox instead? (if you’re wondering what I’m talking about I’m talking about Esnas textbox when she talks to the player. It shows up as a normal in game textbox rather than cutscene dialogue) It’ll probably be easier to time and mashing through that one last textbox is technically the final inputs you give the game. But in that case should I find a point to end the timer after this textbox? This is probably gonna end up having a really obvious answer but I just wanna make sure I don’t mess up.

Hi everybody! I made this account a couple days ago but I’m only posting now. I’m hoping to get started with speedrunninng and I think it will be a lot of fun! I am going to try speedrunning the game Ever Oasis (even though it’s not on this site) to show my love for that game. In the meantime I think it would be cool to at least try speedrunning some other games. I’m wondering what some good games would be to get my feet wet. I’m hoping for something that could probably be completed under and hour, and I own a 3DS, a wii, and a switch. I am SO SORRY if this was not a good place to ask about this. I just want a bit of help starting off.

Also, again on the topic of Ever Oasis, if there is a game that I can’t find any speedruns for but I want to speedrun it when is the best time to start and stop the timer?
