Really sorry for creating yet another thread. I would have repurposed one of the existing ones, however src removed the ability to change the names of threads. Truly incredible.

Like with the other games I've tracked, here is the WR history of the popular categories.

Hey guys, like usual, this will be the official leaderboard discussion thread.

With the new src update, it seems impossible to change the name of threads anymore. I would have repurposed one of the threads for this one, but I can't.

So, I've decided to delete one of them while pasting its messages here ("Adding a disk speed variable to help distinguish KBV runs" one specifically, since it doesn't have any user messages other than my own). These are the first two replies.

Thread name.

@Hibnotix (accounts on multiple sites) has made MM-themed aesthetic files to be used for this leaderboard, specifically animated background and trophies. I have put them in so you can see how they look.

Well, you likely cannot see how all the trophies look, because we only have two runners. Third and fourth places are a large gem and a heart container.

A different trophy loadout could be argued, as some of the other Klonoa boards use the smaller dreamstone sprite that's not present here.

We also thought of updating the colors of the board.

Out of 4 color schemes, I went for the last one : https://imgur.com/a/aMPMwIQ

Will leave it as the default board aesthetic if unchallenged I guess.

Hello. Me and the Klonoa speedrunning community might be interested in adding a category extension to one of its games in the close future : (https://www.speedrun.com/klonoaprs)

As the lead moderator of the game, I will be the one adding it. However, I'm having doubts over the intended procedure.

I understand you have to do it from : https://www.speedrun.com/knowledgebase/supporthub/game-adjustment. I assume "Request New Game Or Series" isn't the way to go. Rather, going Request Adjustment To Current Game > Game Type. I select the game in question. I then cross the Category Extension box. Doing so, the "Base game" prompt shows up, on which I write the name of the game again ? I'm just unsure of how this system work, how each of these prompts affect the outcome of your request. And I wouldn't want to make a mistake.

I'm sure it's something simple. But I don't know better than asking here.

This will be the main thread for holding discussions about adding rules, categories... This is a presentation post that might be updated as time goes on with extra information. Actual discussions will occur below.

This is a thread about keeping track of the various times and achievements that are really good, sometimes seemingly better than what we display, but that aren't submitted. It will be updated continuously as new times are found.

Such runs can be found on Youtube, Twitter, Twitch, Niconico... but never move outside of it. I find it important to know these runs exist, so I'm making this thread. Perhaps, this can motivate some of you to try and beat them.

(The player るる has expressed that they did not desire these old times to be submitted.)

[Beaten since by @IMERLy with a 1:47.37]. Balue's Tower 1:51.76, easy standard, 10th of july. Played on PS5. Haven't watched it.

[Beaten since by @Bobbykaze with a 1:37.75] Balue's Tower 1:37:76, easy support. 10th of july. Played on PS5. Haven't watched this run.

Balue's Tower 1:32.67, easy support. 29th of july. (@IMERLy) Uses clock snipe death warping. This beats Bobbykaze's run. Early game seems good, but late game can be improved. I'm sure there must be faster strats too.

Balue’s Tower 1:57.60, normal standard. 9th of july. Beats buggle’s run with a 2:14.94.

Balue’s Tower 1:57.45, normal standard. 10th of july. The run lacks the very beginning portion of the stage, so it sadly wouldn't be verifiable regardless of anything else.

Balue’s Tower 1:49.87, normal standard. 11th of july. (@IMERLy) I have not watched this run. Played on PS4. https://twitter.com/9wa_mK2y/status/1546481817330794497

Balue’s Tower 1:49.58, normal standard. 13th of july. I haven’t watched this either. But the run only shows the first 30 seconds so it wouldn't be verifiable. Played on Switch. https://twitter.com/kichoumenta/status/1547192284571062273

Balue's Tower 1:44.48, normal standard. 28th of july. Played on PS4. (@IMERLy) Uses clock snipe death warping. Toughest one to beat yet, I see no execution mistakes.

Balue's Tower 2:28.74, normal standard 100%. 14th of july.

[Beaten since by @Vehmura with a 1:02.00] Chamber o'Fun 1:02.23, normal standard. 9th of july. A strong clean run as well, but I think the third room can have faster optimisation. https://twitter.com/9wa_mK2y/status/1545694382866591744 But, this was beaten with a...

[Beaten since by @Vehmura with a 1:01.46] Chamber o'Fun 1:01.48, normal standard. 24th of july. An absolutely excellent time, probably the best run in this post. Compared to the previous run, it has significantly better third room optimisation. But it also uses a trick where you would jump as early as you can after stepping into a new room to save something like 1/4 of a second. It's hard to see what could be done better about this one. Needless to say, none of the runs we have are close to this level of play, though they still are very decently good runs.

Chamber o'Fun 59,83, normal support. 9th of july. (@IMERLy) Haven’t watched it. They previously had a 1:00.00 on the dot, but it was a screenshot. https://twitter.com/9wa_mK2y/status/1545676186852147200

Chamber o’Fun 1:03.75, hard standard. 7th of july. (@IMERLy) Not watched. https://twitter.com/9wa_mK2y/status/1544921685568425984

[Beaten since by @IMERLy with a 1:44.50] Chamber o'Horror 1:49.73, normal standard. 1st of august. (@IMERLy) I think the third room can be improved. And they don't go for a certain clock snipe death warp in room five, room that also can be slightly improved I think. Overall though, no mistakes.

[Beaten since by @IMERLy with a 1:44.50] Chamber o'Horror 1:46.76, normal standard. 18th of october. (@IMERLy) Haven’t watched it, but they went for the clock snipe. https://twitter.com/9wa_mK2y/status/1582176167742033921

Chamber o'Horror 1:43.16, normal standard. 1st of april 2023. Looks perfect and optimised as ever.

Chamber o'Horror 1:55.86, hard standard. 7th of july. (@IMERLy) Haven’t watched. https://twitter.com/9wa_mK2y/status/1544931520338870272

Leptio the Flower Crown, normal standard. 21th of july. (@IMERLy) Haven’t watched it. Faster than AxelSanGo's run of the same day. https://twitter.com/9wa_mK2y/status/1550095220704169984

As of the 30th of july 2022, the leaderboards are open. It took 23 days, or a bit more than three weeks. Thank you for your patience.

Put the game cover without the characters as background, thanks BobbyKaze. jpg file weighting .559 mb
