To add on to that, I currently don't own a PC, so, no, emulator isn't available to ¤all¤. You missed the tone of my post completely if you read any sort of entitlement, I merely said that it was a bummer, not "grrrr accept my mediocre run or else grrrr"

Ah, so bummed out to read this, as the FC rerelease is the only version I own and just got done recording a run of it. Really wish it could at least be a separate category but I understand if the differences are too insignificant to justify that.

Thanks Pip, while I haven't gone back to Hard Mode yet, I did actually clear a pacifist run today, any chance you could add that as a category? It had three deaths, two on stage four and then a Scuba Steve for good measure, but it's actually not too tough a category for this game so I think I could manage a better run.

Edit: Got a better pacifist run, was still Scuba Steve'd, but shaved off some other mistakes. Time was about 8:06ish, I'll time it more precisely if you wish to add it as a category

Edit edit: Phew, deathless pacifist achieved after staying up an extra hour to grind.

I was just wondering, to my fellow Hammerers, if there was any interest in running Hard Mode / both loops for this game? I've cleared the 2nd loop before in the past, last week I briefly played around trying to do it quickly, but everything having more HP renders it a bit less interesting to run unless there are some strategies I didn't find in my brief session.

I submitted a run of this game a week back and have yet to hear anything, any chance I could have it approved?

I'd like to request to be a moderator for Kaiketsu Yanchamaru 2: Karakuri Land. Submitted two runs, the first of which was over a week ago, and heard no response on either of them. Tried reaching out to the game's sole moderator on Twitter, heard nothing back there either.
