Welcome to Speedrunner of the Week, a contest tailored for the fastest players in Platform Racing 2! We have the racers, the fast racers, and those who are above them all: Speedrunners. Do you have what it takes to become a Speedrunner?

🔧 How does it work? 🔧
  • Each week a new level is given a target time and expert time for contestants to beat. If you complete the target time you get 1 point added onto your total score. If you are super speedy and also manage to complete the expert time you will gain 1 extra point, bringing your total to 2 just from beating the set times.

  • You can also gain points if you place in a podium spot against your competitors: if you set the fastest time that week you will gain 3 points, if you come in with the second fastest time you will get 2 points, and if you set the third fastest time you will get 1 extra point. Make note however, you will only be granted these podium points if you have beaten the target time.

  • Submissions will close on Sunday 12:00AM EDT. Be sure to convert this time into your own timezone if necessary to avoid any late submissions!
📔 Rules: 📔
  • Any runs that have been posted after the submission date will not be counted for that week. Please note that Sunday 12:00AM EDT is your deadline and not when I post the "submission's closed" comment on the thread.

  • You are allowed to submit as many runs as necessary; you are not just limited to one.

  • You are not allowed to use any form of hacks or TAS in your submitted run, doing so will get you banned from participating in any further SOTW events.

  • Any form of glitching which wasn't intended by the creator of the level will not be allowed. If you are unsure whether a glitch is allowed or not, feel free to ask me in a thread post or through Discord.

  • You are not allowed to involve multiple players in your speedrun. however, you are allowed to have someone spectate you for any assistance purposes such as recording runs.

  • In the event of a level with 'Super Flying Cowboy Mode' (SFCM): unless the level uses this mode as a hat remover or if the level specifically requires the use of SFCM, all runs that have this mode enabled must be reset. Any runs that have this mode enabled when it's prohibited will be voided.

  • You are only allowed to use up to 195 stat points (Rank 45).

  • You are not allowed to use any hats which may affect the time of the speedrun. Hats which you are allowed to use include: Exp Hat, Kong Hat, Party Hat, Jigg Hat, Thief Hat and the Jellyfish Hat.

  • You are allowed to get the stat advantages from any of the stat blocks around the level.

  • Regarding video submissions, only video submissions which have been posted on this thread will be allowed. I will not be accepting any downloadable files as submissions. Please make sure that in your video you are also showing your in-game stats, as well as a clear video on your ending time.

Is using speed burst on the right arrow considered a glitch?

While I can't speak for Dexterity, and won't, I want to give my opinion on it so it can hopefully save everyone some time. I wouldn't consider it a glitch. From the way it's set up, these are placed just after you get a speed burst, and you are only just using momentum to pass through. Almost like a crumble block, but only allowing you to pass through with high speeds. If the level creator didn't want you going there, they would probably just put a wall there instead. Smile 

But this is just my thoughts on it, of course. Correct me if I'm wrong @Dexterity, Or thank the post if it's not considered a glitch!

Agreed, although it is technically a game exploit it was definitely intended by the creator that you could go through it with a speed boost.

Got this tuesday night cause I'm a mad lad, pretty happy with it though

If you're reading this, it means I have not made a cool signature yet and you should be proud of yourself.

Felt great about this one. The music helps me keep my pace without looking at the timer.

Submissions Closed!

Just a reminder for future weeks I will allow runs that use the net exploit to get a quicker recovery time after hitting the mines. Sorry for any confusion about that glitch / exploit! 😅
