Information
Timing
Run times given are RTA/with loads. When possible, WR is given as RTA/with loads, even when rankings are determined IGT/loadless - so the IGT-based record holder is maintained, but I list the WR's RTA timing, for easiest comparison to the run length. Exceptions to this standard (eg. where the leaderboards do not list RTA timings) are noted.
Run times generally follow the on-screen timer, except when that is significantly mistimed. Exhibition and showcase runs generally give a rough time, as they have no record to compare to.
Leaderboards are generally checked a few days before the event begins, so last-minute record snags may be missed.
Ratings Guide
I am in the habit of using the full range of ratings, which may seem harsh to those used to seeing nothing lower than a 7/10. For reference, I expect to give only a few five-star ratings in each event, and even a single-star run is worth watching if it's a game or runner you particularly enjoy.
| ☆☆☆☆☆ | Don't bother watching |
|---|---|
| ★☆☆☆☆ | A weak run, but still fun for fans of the game |
| ★★☆☆☆ | A solid but unremarkable run, or a flawed gem |
| ★★★☆☆ | A good run, but not a must-watch |
| ★★★★☆ | A great run, probably a highlight of the marathon |
| ★★★★★ | One of the best runs of all time |
