Hiya! How's it going? 
I like speedrunning every now and then. And think that Newer could be fun to speedrun, and as I'm sure many of you have already beaten the game, perhaps some of you may also be interested in trying. It can be very nerve wracking, but it can also be a lot of fun. ^^
Anyway, if anyone is interested, here are some scenarios I thought of that I think would be good to start:
Complete Up to World 1 (Any%): (For a Quick Run)
1.My Time: 13:50 [v1.0.0]
Complete Up to World 4 (Any%) (No "Letter" Worlds): (For a Moderate Length Run)
Beat The game (Any%) : (For a long Run)
1.mariomasters1: 1:45:30 [v1.0.0]
2.My Time: 1:48:28 [v.1.1.1]
Beat The game (Any%) (No "Letter" Worlds): (Slightly Longer Run)
Beat The game (100%) "All Exits & All Star Coins": (Longest Run, Could take most of the day)
Any%: Mainly just means get to the said point. No need to get Star Coins or Extra Exits
Timer Start: Upon selecting 1P Mode from a "New" save file
Timer Stop: As screen goes black from Koopa Kid or Bowser defeat!
EDIT: If attempting either any% or the 100% runs, be sure to start your game by first selecting a new file, then going back to the title screen after the opening cutscene, then starting again from your now "Yoshi's Island" save file, otherwise the game will crash when you get to World 8.
If anyone is interested and trying. Post your time here and I'll put it up.
Also, whenever I try to speedrun the game, there's a good chance I'll stream it. If you're interested in seeing, check here:
http://www.twitch.tv/midiguydp
If anyone else likes to stream as well and wants to do the same, post your stream link here too. If you don't want spoilers though, it'll probably be best not to watch any streams until you finish the game. 
Alrighty, that's it for now. Let me know if you guys are interested.

Should put a corresponding Hard Mode version of each category, if it wasn't hard enough.  I myself was actually thinking of speedrunning this game. Mostly interested in the Any% category, but World 1 Any% could be fun.
Do you have any ideas of a route for Any%? Obviously a World 1 speedrun's route would be definitely straightforward. World 4 Any% No Letter, would probably need a bit of work to figure out what's the fastest route. Any% No Letter would be pretty difficult to figure out paths. And dear god, 100% would need a lot of work.
Definitely interested though. I think I'll start trying to speedrun this game when the week starts and I'll posts some links to the videos that will be uploaded to my Youtube account.
Looking forward to this.

Hard Mode would definitely by CRAZY HARD. lol
I'll probably add it though.
Oh and an Any% route would probably go like I did in my run: W1-2-B-3-4-C-7-8.
By the way, first attempt at an Any% run.... CRASH. lol
EDIT: Tried Again. Crashed again.

Nice to see someone thought about running this.
And yeah, I cant really see Hard Mode being good to run, since taking damage in Mario games saves a lot of time in some cases, like not having to wait for a enemy cycle at various points. And the time limit is obviously no issue then.
Have you timed all the levels yet? Probably not, maybe I can work a little on that, should be useful on routing.
But going through letter worlds is generally faster right?
EDIT: Just saw your route, I can see why you skipped A now.

Hehe. Hard mode would probably take like twice as long. lol
If anyone actually does it though, I'll put the times up.
By the way though, if you're looking to try. Be sure to start your game like this:
1.Start your new file
2.After the opening cutscene Got to the Title Screen
3.Select your save file that just got saved, and start your timer then.
Since if you Start a new file and play to World 8 without stopping, the game will crash. So until version 1.01 comes out, this would be the only way to go about doing it.

Hiya all.
I know this thread hasn't seen activity in over a year. lol
Though I was taking up speed running interest again, and finally did a complete Any% run, so I thought, why not revive the thread? ^^
Time: 1:56:03
This... is quite terrible though, very very veeeeery beatable. There's a high probability that I will try again, and stream it too. (Maybe sometime tomorrow.) ^^
Played this on v.1.1.0 (Haven't updated to 1.1.1 yet)
This a good chance I will be trying this again.

Maybe I'll give a speedrun a shot. Though I'm really not good at it (well, I never tried so how should I know).

@lolboo if you do anything in Dolphin you may as well be doing a TAS. Though Dolphin (as well as many emulators) can have desyncing issues. Best to do an RTA on console
@Midiguy I'd suggest you go back to version 1.0.0. as it has the bug that let's you skip the first part of World 7 after World C.

Did 1.1.0 somehow fix the World 7 weird crash glitch thing?

Sadly the crash still happens when you start a new game get all the way to the W7 Launch star. The only way around it is to start a new game, save before you start the first level, exit to the title screen and select the save. That's how I went about doing the run.
Oh, by the way, gonna stream soon. ^^
(Look at first post for the twitch channel link. )
EDIT: Well... streamed... no new time yet. lol

Must be some memory problem at the start of the game.

Here's a video from when it happened (A while ago, I should've sent it sooner. Me and my laziness...)

Yeah, Treeki looked at the crash once but it's hard to say what triggers it.

Yeah, but...it's not exactly easy to test, so fixing it would be excruciating

Yeah. Unless you create a temporary way to get to the World 7 airship (Perhaps a path in W1 that has a warp to W7) so it can create a path to the launch star (By finishing the level) to run the exact event that causes the "Crash after newFile".

That's not guaranteed to crash it. It may be the intro combined with *some other thing halfway the game here*.
And even if it did crash that way, and we fixed it, it still may not guarantee the bug is fixed when you go complete the entire game.
