Revision as of 04:53, 24 August 2016

Yoshi's Island has many different categories to speedrun the game. For all categories the following Ban is part of the rules and will thus not be listed under each individual category.

Universal Ban

Banned:
Reasoning behind the ban:
  • Left+Right Warping is banned because it can't be done with a regular controller on console. It's only possible by either modding the controller, or by using tools when running on Emulator.
  • The standard SNES/SFC controller does not feature a Turbo Function. Using a turbo controller would mean humanly-impossible mashing on Level Intro Transitions and Text Boxes



Main Categories

Any%

Description: Any% (Credits Warp) is the fastest category to complete the game. The main subjective for achieving top times in this category is using the Tongue Glitch to trigger a Credits Warp by doing Arbitrary Code Execution.
Leaderboards: http://www.speedrun.com/yi#Any
Timing:
  • Starts on (new) File Select
  • Ends when the sceen goes black and credits start
Uses:


Any% Warps, No Null Egg

Description: This category is the original Any% category of this game before the Null Egg Glitch and ACE were discovered. This category abuses 1-1 Warps and to get top times also does the Tongue Glitch in 3-3. Other than that and the timing method, it is identical to Any% Warpless, which is the main category of Yoshi Speedrunning nowadays.
Leaderboards: http://www.speedrun.com/yi#Warps_No_Null_Egg
Timing:
  • Starts on File Select
  • Ends on Bowser Explosion
Banned:
Uses/Allows:


Any% Warpless

Description: The No Major Glitches category of this game. It is the main category of the Yoshi Speedrunning Community nowadays.
History lesson: In the past this used to be the main category of just the Japanese Yoshi Community who did not want to use 1-1 Warps, whereas the rest of the World played Any% Warps, No Null Egg without the Tongue Glitch in 3-3 which wasn't known back then. The Japanese Players did time there runs on the last input, whereas the rest of the World finished the run on Bowser Explosion, thus resulting in the different timing method between this category and Any% Warps, No Null Egg
Leaderboards: http://www.speedrun.com/yi#Warpless
Timing:
  • Starts on File Select
  • Ends when last text box was advanced when Kamek appears after Bowser is defeated
Banned:


100%

Description: The 100% category of this game. It also bans the same glitches as Any% Warpless.
Leaderboards: http://www.speedrun.com/yi#100
Timing:
  • Starts on File Select
  • Ends when the icon for the last level completed returns to normal, after displaying "100"
Banned:
Useful Page:


Legacy categories

Any% No Credits Warp

Description: Any% No Credits Warp is the second fastest category to complete the game. The main subjective for achieving top times in this category is using the Null Egg Glitch and then doing a Save Corruption in 3-1. This run used to be the Any% category of this game before ACE got found.
Leaderboards: http://www.speedrun.com/yi#Any_No_Credits_Warp
Timing:
  • Starts on File Select
  • Ends on Bowser Explosion
Banned:
Uses/Allows:


Any% Magical Journey

Description: The Magical Journey is a very unique run of this game and used to be the fastest possible way to complete the game at one point in time. The main subjective for achieving top times in this category is using the Null Egg Glitch and carrying it all the way from 2-3 to 6-8, lowering the amount of time each level takes to complete by a large margin. This category got obsoleted by Any% No Credits Warp when the Save Corruption in 3-1 was found, but used to be the Any% category of this game. It's mainly listed for the sake of completeness.
No dedicated leaderboards because Any% NCW obsoleted this category, but Magical Journey runs can still be found and submitted on the NCW leaderboards.
