I think a category split is the right way to handle the Controller Pak glitch - which is basically a save warp glitch.

Great editing as usual!

I did totally do this game as a joke way back in 2017. I actually didn't think anyone else would run this game because of how poorly the game was received (and still very much is to this day). Crazy to think the whole game can be beaten in under 3mins, never would have guessed when I ran this almost 6 years ago now (wow has it been that long already?). Very great video my dude! I wish this had more views because clearly a lot of thought and effort went into it. Just subscribed :)

It sounds like the CPG is just a form of New Game+. It's fine as long as it's in its own category with clearly defined rules

I really like Carmageddon 64. Also: Cpak glitch is fine in its own category.

Terrific content. You deserve so many more subs, and I look forward to your content!

very relaxing voice

I don't like those glitches that break the entire game, like this memory pack one, but I think it's fine to have categories for that kind of glitch, it's not cheating anyways. I really do like speedruns with minor glitches or glitchess. That first one categorie seems to be so much funnier. Btw bro, your channel is awesome! Keep with these great videos!

Dude, i love your channel so much. I love n64, speedrunning, and games that weren't popular on the system. Some other really good games that were onscure were space station silicon valley and rocket robot on wheels. Your videos are so well made, you'll eventually find success. It maight take a couple years

I Love your videos

The slammajamma glitch completely changes the gameplay, feels like there should also be a separate category where you have to destroy the enemies without glitchy boosts. Then again, these are always decisions made by the people who form the community, I'm just some random watcher with an opinion.

Nice one bro.

Highly underrated channel

flott video maður

Sometimes badly made games can be good speed games specifically for the glitches. Really that wheel glitch looks beautiful in action.

Amazing videos and runs. Gl hf.

Some insane person will do a all Zombie Kills category one day :P

One very well made video😊

Not a super big fan of any glitches that use save file data made before a run is started. I like the clean slate better, because glitches like this can make some games completely arbitrary to speed run. But I understand it's utility in some games like being able to skip cutscenes. I think having split categories is perfectly fine although I think Any% Newgame+ makes a Little more sense imo in these cases of previous save files being used.

p

Controller pak glitch shouldn't even be a category. Unless you want to time yourself preparing save file A from scratch and add it to the save file x Speedrun.

speedrunning a shit game 💀💀💀💀💀💀 still good video tho

I mean to be honest I don't care what the glitch is or how it works. It's just boring as fuck.

You didn't beat the game in 2:25 you beat it in that PLUS the previous game time added together. If player A can't sit down to a fresh game and accomplish a speed run time because he has not already beaten the game then how can player B then be counted for finishing in the same way. If it is impossible for all players to achieve without some previous step then the previous step should be counted in the amount of time it took to accomplish. Just because the game does the glitch and not the player doesn't make it right either. The data still has to already be there. And just because other game communities have stupid rules that allow something doesn't mean that it is right. There are many games that have absurd speed run rules that have been rejected by MOST sane speedrun communities yet a small few for some reason allow. And among those communities that do allow these obscure rules there is typically drama surrounding that rule which in itself tells you that only a handful of players who benefit from these rules are getting their way and happen to have more control among said community. Nonsense.

Too bad no other speedrunner documents the glitches and how everything works quite like you do. Your stuff is great
