haha no but I thought about it! Turns out the game doesn't exactly require two controllers to be used at the same time. In other words, I can still win and get a good time with only one controller in hand at a time. I have to switch, but I switch during the animations, which are _generally_ unskippable.
Yeah because the speedrun moderators didn't accept it on the basis that co-op requires two people. This was not stated in the official rules, so that's why I tried it. I only found out it wasn't allowed after it got disqualified. No hard feelings on my part, but I think: 1.) the moderators need to update the rules to explicitly disallow what I call "co-op solo" (which is what i did here). 2a.) the moderators need to make a new category which _does_ allow for this strategegy. Kind of like the 120 star, 60 star, etc of Super Mario speedrunning. 2b.) i think it would also be cool if we have a powerups category, so players can enter powerups in the powerup screen shown at 0:10
like u said thats the benchmark regardless
Did your use your feet for the second controller ?
