Can't you compare them yourself? To me it looked like it was gradually getting faster and faster every room or so.

It's just game setup, not continuing after some prior completion. And there's no other way to do it right now anyway.

Cheat file replicating the saveram used in this movie: Download Mario Kart DS (USA) (En,Fr,De,Es,It).cht

Language: cht
023CE2E2	7F	N	ARM9 System Bus	1		b	h	0	None

Open the game, pause emulation, start the movie, drag-drop this file onto hawk, do the tas. Alternatively, after dropping the file, save in the game (however it's done) and end the movie. then start new movie from saveram, without the cheat. To avoid cheat file deletion if you delete the cheat itself, disable Settings - Autosave cheats in the Cheats window.

Remaking is not necessary, snes9x core in hawk is still acceptable.

I wish to get Harry Potter 2 console verified, but the run would be slower due to more lag on GBA mode. Does that count against using it for a improvement? Do I just make 2 runs to submit to see what judges think?

We don't reject for using a console mode needed for verification.

There's new discoveries in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets for GBC that can improve the current run. I would also like the run to be able to be console verified on gameboy player. However, it seems running on GBA mode for this game introduces a lot of lag every load. This affects both real time, and the game's in game time. Do I just give up on trying to run on GBA mode, or just run it and see what will happen?

How is that related to judging?

This submission was performed on a 100% complete save file to allow the use of all 36 karts to each character.

Is it possible to unlock the kart and the character without having to play 7+ hours? BTW verification movies does not have to be optimized at all.

I synced it on 556643_ROBOTROID14_NG.swf from NewGrounds, even though it seems to be different from what the author used, and ruffle-nightly-2023_08_20 (just because it was the most recent one in my libTAS). Also it encoded just fine without -g gl. One minor detail is that you don't need to record blank input at the end of your movie file. Once you activate the credits, you can stop the movie, which will reflect its actual duration more correctly on the site. Turns out with this game it's better to have an extended movie for encoding since credits are only visible if you keep hovering your mouse over the credits button.

IMO jumping to credits is fine. They are a part of the ending.

I don't think we ever cared about continues in other games, but they are indeed rare. There are also many games with infinite continues, so I'm not sure what we're fearing to lose exactly.

The rules for in-game codes changed drastically over the years, and it probably can't be handled like arcade continues anymore. When the arcade continue ban was added, the rule about codes was basically resolved by the guideline about difficulties. If the code makes the game harder, it was allowed, otherwise not. Since arcade continues make the game much easier, they were banned. Then we allowed certain in-game codes for Standard (ones that add gameplay), and we allowed all in-game codes in Alternative as long as the result is entertaining. If we blindly extrapolate the codes clause to arcade continues, then they'd be banned from Standard (unless they actually manage to add gameplay) but fully allowed in Alt. Personally I don't have a strong preference.

I did figure it out eventually. It requires Japanese language to be installed on the OS.

Yes it's allowed for submission. It can only be considered sub-optimal if it's easy to significantly improve quickly, which is not the case for this game. And there's no complete movie that is faster, so the current record is good to go.
