RULES SUBJECT TO CHANGE
01 Use of Non-Official Controllers

Non-official Switch 2 controllers are permitted as long as every input is controlled by the player.

  • PROHIBITED "Turbo" controllers.
  • PROHIBITED "2-to-1 button macros" (e.g. pressing one button to trigger A + B).
  • PERMITTED Multiple buttons representing a single input (e.g. multiple A buttons) as long as each button is pressed individually.
02 All Submissions Require Video Proof
  • Full video proof from start to finish of every level is required.
  • "Total Hits" runs must show every level and the final score after Venom.
  • "Individual Level" runs must show the entire level from start to finish.
  • Editing down video length is allowed, but raw, unedited footage MUST be available to mods for verification.
03 Cheating Prohibited

Cheating of any kind is strictly prohibited.

  • Use of any cheat device, save state manipulation, or external tools that alter gameplay is not allowed for any submission.
  • This applies to all categories, including Individual Levels and Total Hits.
  • Any attempt to falsify or manipulate a run will result in immediate disqualification and potential ban.
04 Categories
  • Runs are categorized into one of 25 routes.
  • Runs are further split into Easy, Normal, or Expert.
  • No Restarts (Single-life) — Runs must be completed without dying or retrying. Valid only if the player defeats Robot Andross (Venom 1) or exits the tunnel (Venom 2).
    Exception: Corneria retries are allowed but only from the beginning (not from checkpoints).
05 Individual Levels (ILs)
  • Must be completed start to finish.
  • Split into Easy, Normal, and Expert.

06 2K%

  • Timer starts on first frame of control in Corneria and ends on last frame of control in Venom 1 (Andross fight) or Venom 2 (Escape Tunnel).
  • Players may reset at the beginning of levels to restore bombs.
07 Patch Submission
  • All submissions must include the current patch version you are playing on.
  • This ensures consistency and fair verification across all runs.

Community Guidelines

In addition to gameplay rules, all community members are expected to follow these standards of behavior across forums, Discord, streams, and any affiliated spaces.

✦
Respect Others — Treat all community members with courtesy. Disagreements are fine, but personal attacks, insults, or sustained negativity are not.
✦
No Harassment or Bullying — Harassment, stalking, threats, or attempts to intimidate others are strictly prohibited. This includes targeting individuals repeatedly in chat, DMs, or public forums.
✦
Zero Tolerance for Discrimination — Racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia, ableism, or any other form of discrimination will not be tolerated. Slurs, derogatory language, or "jokes" targeting marginalized groups are grounds for removal.
✦
Keep Politics and Religion Out — Political or religious debates often create division and are not permitted in community spaces. This includes promoting ideologies, campaigns, or agendas unrelated to the game or community.
✦
No NSFW or Offensive Content — Pornographic, sexually explicit, excessively violent, or otherwise inappropriate material is forbidden.
✦
Play Fair & With Integrity — Respect moderators, rules, and fellow players. Do not attempt to cheat, falsify submissions, or mislead others.
✦
Protect Privacy — Do not share personal information (yours or others') without consent. Doxxing, even as a "joke," is an immediate ban.
✦
Moderation Decisions — Moderators have final say in disputes. Appeals can be made respectfully, but arguing or harassing mods will not be tolerated.
