A new year is already here for some and fast approaching for others. Do you have any New Years resolutions for the year of 2025? And what about your resolutions for 2024, did you accomplish them or make any progress?

Personally I finally want to get fully back into working out regularly, I did get back into running regularly about 4 months ago but stopped the past three weeks due to travel and getting sick for about a week but I will be running again starting tomorrow on the 1st. My goal for running is to get under 6 minutes a mile (for 2 miles, but may do that up to 4), I've already reached under 7:30 a mile. Past that I also want to get back into calisthenics and put on a decent amount of muscle overall, ideally I want to gain around 15 pounds with that being mostly muscle (I sit around 125-128lb's currently, 5'8"). 2 other goals I have are getting fully organized which I've been slowly working on already, and I want to learn how to dance as I think I'll really enjoy it

Today marked the 15th year anniversary of Goliathe moving in with us. Didn't exactly know what to expect in terms of longevity when I first started taking care of that silly frog bean lizard, but here we are almost half a lifetime later.

She went through a few hardships over the past few years but she's been better than ever recently. Haven't made a blog post for a loooong while it seems, so hopefully, if you've clicked on it, may this cute picture bring you good fortune until the next time you stumble upon a fire crested gecko.

Welcome to Duck Season!
I’ll bring the platforms if you bring the racing.

A prize supported Speed Running event is upon us! Only a silly goose would pass up on these challenges and the prizes they reward. Each level is published under the profile "The Duck", and there may even be a Deathmatch and Hat Attack worth doing while we are at it.

Early this year, I started making The Duck Campaign, so this is its' end of year celebration. There are 32 levels in the series as of the making of this contest. I'm excited to see them get thoroughly destroyed.


Event Schedule and Structure:
There will be 3 parts of Duck Season over 3 weeks, where prizes will be earned each week and awarded at the conclusion of the event.

Week 1: Right Now-Sunday, December 29th
Week 2: Monday, December 30th-Sunday, January 5th
Week 3: Monday, January 6th-Sunday, January 12th

All submitted times must be in by each Monday, 7AM Mountain Standard Time (the 30th, 6th and 13th) . This will hopefully allow for late night players and time zone differences.

Links to Videos of the top 5 speedruns performed on each level at the end of each week will be linked on the updated leaderboard and will be awarded with prizes at the end of the event. The event leaderboard will be updated each Monday (once I get it all put together), so be sure to check back in and see what the other racers are cooking up. Any runs that become inaccessible to view at any point of the event will be disqualified.

Recording a Run: Record a video of the run and upload it to YouTube, public or unlisted. Then link the run in your spreadsheet as well as posting the time stated from the “In Game Timer”. If the clip of the run is in a longer uploaded video, please have the link given be a timestamp to bring the judge to the right time in the video.

Submitting Your Runs: Please make a copy of This Sheets Document and fill it out as you compete. Add your name to the title of your copy of the sheet. Your sheet will be due before Monday at 7AM MST each week. To submit your sheet, send a copy to [email protected].


Rules and Restrictions:
-There is a 200 Stat Total limit to help accessibility, this can be achieved at level 50 or using the extra stats from Happy Hour. You may distribute them however you would like.
-Must enter as player 1 and be the only player in the level.
-No clipping through blocks or use of other unintended glitches.
-No Super Flying Cowboy Mode (besides the cowboy level)  (The levels are set to trigger it 1% of the time)
-Any hat that is not banned by the level itself is legal. Cowboy and Artifact are banned on all levels for accessibility issues.
-Updates to rules may change during the event, but only to make things easier or add more prize support if the need arises based on player feedback. None of your progress will be undone.
-No trying to beat the rules or the system. Be nice, I’m just a duck after all…
-Consider rating levels that you enjoy 5 stars. Or not. But at least consider considering it.


Prize Structure:
There will be points earned throughout the event that will give out points. At the end of Duck Season, you will receive 100,000 Experience for each Point you earn.
At the end of each week, the following points will be given out for each of the 30 competitive levels:

1st, 5 points and 1 World Record
2nd, 4 points
3rd, 3 points
4th, 2 points
5th, 1 point

(That means that 135,000,000 exp will be awarded this way!)
At the end of the event, racers will be awarded the following parts based on the number of World Records that they obtained.

1 or more World Records: Epic Candy Head
3 or more World Records: Epic Bird Set
5 or more World Records: Epic Blobfish Head


For each level that you complete and submit a run for by the end of the event, you get 1 point. (Playing through each level, filling out and submitting the sheet will earn you an easy 3,000,000 exp.)

Each level has a “Duck Time” for you to try to beat. Each Duck Time that you beat will award you 3 points. (9,000,000 exp if you can beat them all.)


At the end of the event, your Cumulative Time will be added up and the top 20 finishers will be awarded with (Cumulative time will only count if you have submitted a run on each level. It will be your fastest time on each level+50 seconds-1 second for every egg you obtain on 2.9 Alien Egg):
1st: 60 points and The Epic Artifact Hat
2nd: 57 points
3rd: 54 points
… and so on
20th: 3 points

Event within the event:
1.6 Deathmatch and 2.3 Hat Attack, by The Duck, will also award you prizes. In the sheet, upload videos of you playing each level with 3 other participants (a 4 player match with no alt accounts used. You don't need to win, you just need to participate.).
This will award you the Epic Snowman Set!

Long Live Platform Racing 2!

Hey folks, some of you guys might know me (or maybe not). I used to be an active member of JV back in 2017 and also played quite a lot of PR2. I kind of became inactive before the transition to acid forums and completely stopped playing the game around the same time. Yesterday, I was looking at some of my old private YouTube videos and I found some Platform Racing 2 gameplay videos which triggered an old memory of me being a part of this community back then. I remembered acid forums, tried searching for it and eventually I landed here.

It's surprising and also nostalgic to see so many old usernames! What surprised me even more was the fact that Platform Racing 2 still has an active player-base with contests, moderation staff and such. 

PR2 has been my childhood and so has been this community so coming back here made me really happy! I hope I get to talk with you guys soon! Peace ^^

Hello PR2 community! I originally joined PR2 in 2008 on Kongergate many years ago, I'm making this post to have a place that people can share old memories like videos and screenshots, Back in the days when we would make yolasites to play PR2 and chat on xat, So to start, I will list below some old videos that i made when i was a teenager. I'm looking forward to seeing the great memories that you guys share from back in the old days of platform racing 2! 

This video is the oldest video i have recorded of myself and 2 other friends that no longer play PR2. I ended up losing contact with them from over the years, I wish them the best in life and thank you for the amazing memories that you guys have given me from when i was a kid, I will never forget those nights i would stay up on my moms old computer just to race with you guys! 

This video was recorded December 14th of 2009. (Todays date of making this post makes this video 15 years old December 14th of 2024)

This video is just another random video of me playing platform racing 2 on January 19th of 2010, My spelling in this video is terrible, I was 13 after all though lol

In this video i show off a recreated level i did with color effects of Zerosters level. This level is still playable if you look up my username on PR2 Rca Man. 

I recorded this video December 16th of 2015

In this video i'm not the creator of this video but in this video you can see me entering a level on the Mario bros remix level at 0:13 seconds of the video. This video was uploaded to youtube on January 10th of 2010. I believe the original uploader was banned due to cheating on the game, I don't condone cheating but it's a good look at history and seeing how active PR2 was back in the day.

Hello everyone! It must be around 13-14 years since I was last on this site - and somehow I stumbled across it again today. It's so nice to see Jiggmin.com is still going strong - I really enjoyed Platform Racing 2 and the Jiggmin's Village community when I was younger and spent a lot of time here. I doubt anyone who I knew is still around on this site these days - but hello if you are still here! And for those who've enjoyed Jiggmin's Village since then, I hope you continue to for many more years to come!
