This forum will be used to vote on the fate of the boards, there will most likely be multiple of these, this forum will be used for them.

Here is the first of probably many unless there is a decisive winner straight away: https://www.strawpoll.me/18363058

DO YOUR RESEARCH BEFORE VOTING, DONT VOTE ONE WAY BECAUSE YOUR FRIEND DID OR SOMETHING.

Is the plan for this game to have a load remover/ manually remove loads so that all platforms can compete? coz if not then im fully against that lol. Just getting the ball rolling with this conversation as it seems like a big deal.

So with the new foundings over the past 2 weeks a debate may be started as to the validation of the new route, as it saves approximately 1 min in 101% and Max%, however it takes advantage of your memory cards state.

What happens is the game takes your file with the highest percentage and attributes it to the file you are currently on, however this only lasts for 1 event, then things return to normal. A more concise but perhaps more rambling explanation will be posted here:

In my opinion, this is in no way an invalid route, as since the findings of 2016, we have been abusing memory cards in these categories already, so this is not new, and therefore should not be banned.

Furthermore, the idea of this trick being similar to NG+ is a valid one, however I would suggest otherwise, considering during the timed run, only the file you started the game with is used.

This is a completely different case to games like banjo-kazooie for example as consoles do not lose time to others with this glitch, and the setup for the memory card is literally the easiest thing ever, so it's still accessible to everyone (also worth enforcing that once again we have been abusing the state of memory cards in 101% since 2016.)

So yeah, that’s just my opinion, feel free to post your own, and we can debate here :)

its not specified in rules.... so yeah... when?

I believe that one mod simply isn't enough for a boards to function properly. (This is no disrespect to the current mod, we just need more) I would personally push myself for a mod spot, as i have some category ideas, that i would like to put forward, if anyone else thinks they could or should be mod, pls put yourself forward here.

So, i randomly decided to test if Penta Penguin works with saving the game once u get in the file using the wrong warp, and it does.

This however means that the route once again will be completely changed, as we would most likely do all of the relics in the glitched state, and tracks like tiny arena relic would get destroyed (would have to test if it would be worth over world travelling for some relics but yeah)

This creates a dilemma however, as

1. Penta can only be unlocked using a code
2. NTSC could simply not use Penta as it would not be viable (however this makes up for some of the other time saves NTSC gets so this would actually make it fair if anything)

I wouldn't mind hearing what other people think and if Penta should be allowed, but again, it would make 101% a much more intriguing category imo, so i would personally say it should be allowed, but im just some nerd so yeah.

i dont know if u could possibly make this a thing but This happened i guess

Hey there, can either me, jon or both be mods of this game, therefore runs could be verified quicker than they are currently. thanks

Hi again, who are the fastest characters to use in the game, and if they are unlockables, how do u unlock them?

Hi, could you please make categories for 100% 1 character, as i might have a shot at this over the Christmas holidays, thanks. (You can even put in 100% all characters if someone is crazy enough to do that)

can you actually 100% this game, if so im intrigued to give it a go in a speedrun. What do you in fact need to do to obtain 100% ? thanks :)

yeah I know, it sounds really dumb but ehh. I guess how this run would work is you would start from a new file just like in mkdd 100% and unlock everything from there. it would take a while but, I would do it :)

I was wondering if I could be a super mod as I want to submit and create numerous new runs and categories, thanks :)

http://pastebin.com/x24VHsNA Times for All consoles and versions of consoles (is not complete yet)

Look at series thread to answer the question i have

for the individual levels, do the times count for best laps, 2 laps, 4 laps or 8 laps? i think the timing is for best lap but im not sure
