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.

For those unaware, Daylight Savings is currently in action for EDT. Since we are still following EDT time-zones it means that submissions will close an hour earlier for those who live outside North America.

Hope that clears everything up, good luck everyone!

I’d also like to point out a glitch which has been causing a lot of discussion at the moment. Any form of head glitch clipping of blocks as shown by the blue arrow is not allowed, even if the block above the racer is a brick, vanish, push etc. On the other hand, any clipping of blocks as shown in the red arrow is allowed for runs.

Got 43.70 last Sunday, had an extra hour tonight but only managed to save a couple tenths. I had a run that was sub 42 pace (didn't mess up the jumps as much in the beginning and had a clean water part, which I don't in this video), but I missed the finish block, of course Confused 

Still think I could shave an extra second and get close to 40.XX with these strats, oh well

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

Was too busy and demotivated to really grind for this one, but now I just kinda feel bad that TRUC missed the finish block for one of his runs. 😔
