It seems there is some inconsistency with runs of games with only two endings that aretagged with "Best ending" and those that arenot.
How should we go about tagging these runs? Should all the ones that currently have the tag lose it, or can it be thought of as "better ending" and applied to all of the runs on the site that get the "good ending" over the "bad ending"?

It looks like Ilari's fix to the displayed length of the movie file in the submission didn't carry over into the publication as it did with the Tails's story TAS. Is there a way to set the timing of the publication to the correct time?

As I watched this earlier when it was posted in the Ocarina of Time thread, I will give this a big Yes vote! Great improvement with brilliant new strategies. Good work, both of you!

The time displayed is incorrect (as the site parser only reads the VIs). The real time of the run, from the frame count, is 4:52:30.72. Could someone please fix the time for us?

The whole run required luck manipulation. The RNG runs all the time, and advances different amounts of time depending on what's going on, so all the rooms and battles after going back and fixing the beams would have to be individually resynced (basically redoing a good part of the run).

Chapter 5 was mostly skipped and 6 and 7 were short, so those went fast. We mostly worked on Chapter 8 and getting the best luck manipulation during the Shadow Queen battle.

Mario or his partner needs to attack her three times after she becomes invincible. Since a stage prop doesn't count as an attack by one of them, the fastest method is to jump with Mario and then have two Bomb Squad bombs explode at two different times to count as the second and third attacks.
We don't have an encode of it. We just moved on because it didn't save any time.

Anyway, we've finished the first part of Keelhaul Key.
We had also finished the second part. And all of chapters 5, 6, and 7 and most of chapter 8. So you were not lied to. :P

Im not sure if you know this already, but during the first time the Shadow Queen becomes invincible, you have to attack her at least once, right? Well, you can save a turn if the audience, or a stage prop manages to attack her. It'll do no damage, but at least it counts as an attempt to attack her.
This turned out to be false. After we finally were able to manipulate a stage prop to fall on her, we found it didn't count as an attack after all.

I don't think there are. Most runs that start from power on and want to avoid autosaves will just start without a memory card. There just aren't enough cases like SADX that would warrant adding it as a feature.
