SPEEDRUN.COM LEADERBOARDS

Global Rules:

  • Timing:
    • SRC = starts upon selecting “New Game” and ends upon “Arsenal falls.” or “Defeated 1.” appearing on screen
    • ใƒ‹ใ‚ณ = starts upon selecting “New Game” and ends upon the end of the credits music
    • Time begins from power on for Defeat Arsenal, Any% NMG, and All Chests NMG
    • For Any%, time ends upon the “The End” animation ending
  • Super Game Boy is allowed
  • Turbo:
    • On the English version, turbo is not allowed
    • On the Japanese version, turbo is allowed due to the NicoNico Leaderboards historically allowing it
  • Video proof is required for all runs submitted
    • All videos must have a timer displayed on screen
    • Videos that are locked behind a paywall are not allowed
  • On emulator:
    • For GB, the only allowed emulators are BGB, Bizhawk, and Gambatte
      • For Any%, Glitchless RTA, the only allowed emulator is BGB with a bootrom
    • For GBC, the only allowed emulator is BGB with a bootrom
    • The use of turbo, speed-up, and doing anything otherwise not possible on a real console is not allowed
  • About resets:
    • Single Segment = no resets were made during the run
    • RTA = resets were made during the run

Conversion between timing standards will be done by ffvd_games if it hasn’t been done already.

By default, all runs performed on SGB will have their times converted to its GB equivalent. Conversion between SGB and GB will be done via this website.

      • This is the equivalent of a segmented speedrun

Note that the records for TA runs may be inaccurate due to how old the records are. If a time is missing that should be on there, DM me on Twitter with a link to the run’s route and I’ll add it ASAP.

As stated on the home page, if you would like your run to not be listed on this page, please DM me on Twitter and I will remove it ASAP.
