Welcome to Speedrunner of the Week, a contest tailored for the fastest players in Platform Racing 2! We have the racers, the fast racers, and those who are above them all: Speedrunners. Do you have what it takes to become a Speedrunner?

• Each week a new level is given a target time and expert time for contestants to beat. If you complete the target time you get 1 point added onto your total score. If you are super speedy and also manage to complete the expert time you will gain 1 extra point, bringing your total to 2 just from beating the set times.
  
  
• You can also gain points if you place in a podium spot against your competitors: if you set the fastest time that week you will gain 3 points, if you come in with the second fastest time you will get 2 points, and if you set the third fastest time you will get 1 extra point. Make note however, you will only be granted these podium points if you have beaten the target time.
  
  
• Submissions will close on Sunday 12:00AM EDT. Be sure to convert this time into your own timezone if necessary to avoid any late submissions!
  

• Any runs that have been posted after the submission date will not be counted for that week. Please note that Sunday 12:00AM EDT is your deadline and not when I post the "submission's closed" comment on the thread.
  
  
• You are allowed to submit as many runs as necessary; you are not just limited to one.
  
  
• You are not allowed to use any form of hacks or TAS in your submitted run, doing so will get you banned from participating in any further SOTW events.
  
  
• Any form of glitching which wasn't intended by the creator of the level will not be allowed. If you are unsure whether a glitch is allowed or not, feel free to ask me in a thread post or through Discord.
  
  
• You are not allowed to involve multiple players in your speedrun. however, you are allowed to have someone spectate you for any assistance purposes such as recording runs.
  
  
• In the event of a level with 'Super Flying Cowboy Mode' (SFCM): unless the level uses this mode as a hat remover or if the level specifically requires the use of SFCM, all runs that have this mode enabled must be reset. Any runs that have this mode enabled when it's prohibited will be voided.
  
  
• You are only allowed to use up to 195 stat points (Rank 45).
  
  
• You are not allowed to use any hats which may affect the time of the speedrun. Hats which you are allowed to use include: Exp Hat, Kong Hat, Party Hat, Jigg Hat, Thief Hat and the Jellyfish Hat.
  
  
• You are allowed to get the stat advantages from any of the stat blocks around the level.
  
  
• Regarding video submissions, only video submissions which have been posted on this thread will be allowed. I will not be accepting any downloadable files as submissions. Please make sure that in your video you are also showing your in-game stats, as well as a clear video on your ending time.

Logged onto the forum about a week ago and saw this... Figured it'd just go away with time but it hasn't... 
I've already tried clearing my cache :/

I just boosted the quality of the PR2 songs. Have a listen!




(April Fools! )

Now that PR2 for most ppl is download only and requires a synced clock time, everyone on April Fools' must have the reversed controls

Some people do not like this (and before you could get around it by changing clock anyway) so I think there should be a tickbox to toggle the April Fools' controls on or off (this way you can also use them other days of the year which you could before as well by changing clock)

Only took a few years. How is everyone?

After playing around with the search tool for a while I noticed that there are a lot of things that you can't search for even if you're typing in the correct information. This makes searching for levels which have these specific issues a lot harder than it needs to be.

Here are a few things that I've noticed the search tool can't do:

1. Words that are 3 characters or less

This is probably the most common problem I've come across when searching for levels, if I try and search for words such as 'Cat' or 'Red' in the search bar nothing will pop up, despite the fact that there are plenty of levels which feature those words (Cat Planet by Pounce, Red Forest by Team-RotomMan). I think it would be pretty helpful to allow 3-letter word searches since there's so many levels with those words that can't be searched.

& Interpulse all has their guild rank token still..

- BUG: Guild tokens staying on accounts due to players being 'inactive' 

- FIX: After the expire item like Guild Rank tokens, Fred The G. Cactus set, etc instead of waiting for their next login there's a way that if they've been inactive for over 24-72 hours the Guild Rank Tokens or Fred The G. Cactus set will just disappear from the account or accounts. 

- I know there's a small fix is that when they re-login it'll just be gone but sometime players are inactive for a long time and there should be a fix.
