United StatesIt's a silly 20-year old flash game so not a big deal which version you use.
It must be a separate category due to the Switch having better performance.
They will add it when someone submits a run on the Switch.
Friendly reminder for everyone, the order of operations is: (1) Runner submits run. (2) Moderators add category. It's NOT the other way around.
Yes. As far as I know, it's the same exact game as the port in Namco Museum.
If you're talking about using the Dodrio 4x speed mode in Pokemon Stadium, it's on the cat. extensions page https://www.speedrun.com/pkmnyellowext?h=Game_Boy_Tower_N64&x=5dwqp50d
Otherwise Game Boy Tower is not allowed due to inaccurate emulation, as stated in the rules
Since you posted this someone did beat it with boosts, so I guess there's a new way to do it. It starts with 30 gold without showing how that was obtained but it's safe to assume it was from clicking the social media links like always.
@Pottsie91 Not going to just randomly delete a category tons of people submitted runs to, unless all those players wanted it deleted.
@WanSou Yeah I guess that's how it works, but I still don't get what makes this category unique.
I've been able to keep up with runs since not many people submit runs. Only three runs have been submitted in the last 2 months as of this writing. No need to add new mods right now.
I'm just not going to retime everything. If people don't read the timing rules and start their timer early that's on them. This is a meme game after all. Not that serious.
The category was originally named 8 player when SS created it. Then this "I'm not a power moderator" guy took over and changed everything without asking any players first.
They don't have 8 players. How did this even get verified lmao
@Nondrowsy Wow! That's very helpful information. Thanks again for the knowledge.
That leaderboard isn't very active so I haven't messed with it at all.
@Nondrowsy Thanks for the information. That's very helpful. I added the full race category.
If you know anything about Pole Position II, I'm open to learning about that, too.
That is very helpful information. I didn't realize the qualifying lap always ends with 10000 points. I think that would be a good idea to separate runs based on this. Thanks for pointing that out!
Nobody has submitted any runs for full races. If people submit runs, I will add the category.
@AndrewG I noticed what you're saying when I was given this leaderboard. I tried contacting Daniel Yamnitz to see if he could teach me about the differences between versions, but I never got a response. It seems like the Plug-N-Play version specifically is way faster than the original cabinet. Nobody has ever brought it up before, I don't think.
This leaderboard isn't meant to be serious as far as I know. The serious arcade players submit their times to Twin Galaxies I'm pretty sure. If more people start asking to split the leaderboard, we can do that.
As for full game runs, nobody has ever submitted one so that's why there isn't one. There's no need to add another moderator right now. Not many people submit runs these days, so I am able to keep up.
