I was imagining if there were "100coin star alone" ranks, and to get faster time some of the the routes wouldn't include one of the other 6 (like, skipping a red coin, or a secret, or finishing far from the star that would've been grabbed right after), which is kinda pointless for full game runs.
But then again, there are other things that are irrel as well, such as doing the big house in the sky without 100's...

What do you mean the 100 coin star time isn't relevant? If anything it's the time it takes from the 100 coin star to the other star which isn't relevant because theoretically it should be the same every time. E.g. when talking about the 1:01 route in WF, it is 1:01 to the 100 coin star, not to the red coin star....also, in terms of Bowser stages, times are already not including throws, if done with reds, it is the time it takes for to collect the red coin star, everything after is irrelevant. If done without reds,it is from when you enter the pipe (I think something like the point in which the black transition comes on to the screen is the point of timing, not too sure on that though). Yeah. :)

The elite model seems very good. Putting each course on the lines, and the 6 stars* + RTA total in the columns, both for the leaderboards and for each player. Not sure what the relevant digit would be tho (decimals, 100's). Like, someone getting a UWR with a 0.01 second difference would be kinda ridiculous, I don't know if there's any other game besides perhaps SMB in which the second digit is relevant for optimization... (I might be absolutely wrong about this tho)

*my suggestion is to put the 6 stars with no 100c, and the RTA total separated (one of the stars along with the 100c), so there's no strat mix up in the leaderboards, and the 100c star alone time isn't relevant anyway, so just sum it to the total course time where it actually matters.

I don't know what would work for the secret courses though (or if their leaderboards would ever exist). I think if they would be timed, bowser stages would not count the throws, ending the timer when you enter the pipe (separating any% and with reds, or just put the red coins time since they're the most relevant).

I don't think it's hard to determine. If you do it in your runs, it's an RTA strat. If you don't do it in your runs, it shouldn't be on the leaderboard.

This applies for everything. If you do really fast double jump kicks on TTC 100 at the beginning in practice, but you don't try to be that optimized in runs, then that time shouldn't be on the leaderboard.

I don't like the definition of RTA strats to be that picky. If its something that is RTA viable and not something you'd see in a wr video then you should be allowed to post it. I sometimes don't like to do the wk's in boo hunt, so should I be allowed to post a time that does them?

I should probably give you guys an update on this.

Lately I've been working user profiles, profile pages, leaderboard automation and site moderators to approve unverified submissions. I think automation will make the single star leaderboards run smoother (so people wouldn't have to wait for their times to be updated).

ETA 2 weeks for everything to be complete

Profile page mockup:

You will be able to update your times via your profiles.

I think a good way to introduce this would be at first just starting with a section for Full Course RTAs. ^^

Yeah actually. We have players like them and we have Siglemic. Inb4 they're very consistent in RTA that they become RTA strats . That BLJ in Dark World used in TAS anyone?

We'll see what it becomes!

Really cool idea.

Here's something I quickly came up with anyway. I think the Single Leaderboards should have a dropdown like the one in the mockup below. The user can toggle between the stage and find the top 10 times of each level in that stage to keep things clean and competitive. As you said though it will take a while to get everything ironed out.

Yes, that should be like that.
I hope that MarioRuns will have Single too
Then we will even have more here!
