Yeah, the last submission was in November of last year, for the Any% category. While I like the visuals of the game as well as everything it brought over from the cancelled Rayman 4, the gameplay always felt a bit subpar to me so it must be rather tedious to speedrun. Anyway, it's not the only one not to get much love: neither Rayman 3 GBA, Rayman 3 mobile, Rayman 1 GBC, Rayman 2 Forever, Rayman Kart or Rayman Fiesta Run have seen a single submission since February.

Speaking of RRR GBA, I had no idea that you could skip gates and some other obstacles through some menuing glitch. And yet, I was expecting more glitches than are actually used in the run!

It looks like the record has been beaten. The time's gone down about 10 minutes since the post about the first place Any% run at the top of this topic.

Another first place! It's only smaller than a minute of a gap, though. But still, good job. Nice to beat your old score.
