Looked good to me, though I have zero familiarity with speedrunning this game. I approve of running on Hard instead of Easy.
Same, especially since the difficulty is like Perfect Dark; Higher difficulties means more actual things to do, along with the standard "Die faster, kill slower, enemies aren't stormtroopers"
If we suddenly start considering this run an improvement, then I have a question: what exactly prevented doing so in the initial submission? If nothing, then there's no point in "obsoleting" it. Otherwise I can make 100 submissions of a single game with slightly edited endings, each of which would be "more entertaining". And I'm not even mentioning what Masterjun can do to abuse such an approach.
That said, I don't think any rule should be hard and fast, especially on a site whose goal is more or less entertainment.
In US law for instance, Judges can throw out a case that fits the letter but not the spirit of a law, like the incident where Buzz Aldrin hauls off and decks a conspiracy theorist for harassing him. To the letter of the law, Aldrin commits assault, but in the spirit of the law, the level of harassment and clear intent to sue or prosecute Aldrin showed in the video (he was recorded asking the cameraperson "did you get that?") went against the spirit of the law; To protect citizens from a violent threat.
In the same vein, I think it'd probably be best to defer to input time with exception for situations like Magician Lord, where a few frames saved adds a significant amount of time to the realtime.
Interesting to see it back up for the Vault. Warioware is an awesome game, and while it's not a good game for tasing overall, it definitely has it's moments.
Yeah, The 100% run is definitely more entertaining than I thought, in fact, I didn't know there was a bonus level for getting all the rings. Great run.
