Personal Best Snowboard Kids: Recompiled | Copper Pass: 34:37

this beat a console wr! until the board is filled, it will remain just a pb.

we need runners! anyone who is down please give the recomp a try. whether its ILs, battle race, any%, whatever, we need submissions :) here is the board on src, and there’s a board for the snowboard kids 2 recomp as well.

mozu, another incredibly talented runner, has also put down some great runs and i highly recommend you keep an eye out for them. they are responsible for pretty much every breakthrough in our time trial categories on original hardware in the current era. below are some of their recent submissions for the recomp:
- Copper Pass NG+: 33:38
- All Races NG+: 52:27

there’s discussion in the SBK discord all the time as well if you wanna help out or get in on the fun-running good times.

Discussion Question: Has speedrunning ruined your enjoyment of playing video games normally, or has it expanded your enjoyment through the knowledge you've gained from speedrunning? This goes for both Any% speedrunners and average speedrunners.

I've been working on optimizing the CoD MW3 Zombies maps. This has been a blast and hope you enjoy the run. Also, I have broken other World Records in the game, including a NEW Season 2 Elder Aether World Record and many others. I also have posted other challenge runs including the World First Complete Season 5 run with a Pickaxe Solo. Check out my channel if you enjoy watching a video game be pushed to its limits: https://www.youtube.com/@NickZombee

Thank you and see you in Urzikstan!

Glitch Question about OoT NSO edition

0 Upvotes

is there any way for me to fix the jittering after doing deku stick on b? I’m trying to get bottle on b, but I first have to have the deku stic, which breaks the game on nintendo switch, I already loaded Pokémon stadium 2 so I can move around without crashing, but it’s still horribly glitchy even after destroying all of my deku sticks. so I’m asking if there is any way to remove the jitter or a better way to do bottle on b?
