Any SCDS players here? No? Well I guess I'll just pretend there are.
You know that Versus Mode thingy? If the old Nintendo Wi-Fi were still up, I could collect Friend Codes and destroy you all. But nope, I guess I'm stuck playing against the COM. (I got over 1000 wins back when I was still addicted to this mode.)
More recently, however, I had the idea of doing single-player speedruns of these stages, now that I have a 3DS alongside my old DS. I simply set up a second player to be idle and started running.
These stages are very different from the main stages in the game. They are shorter, for one, and there are a lot more platforming sections. One act in each zone is also a multi-lap stage.
If anyone who is good at this game wants to join, be my guest. The only rules I can think of are 1. You may have an idle second player on another system, and 2. You may not use items, specifically Boost Steal and Wisp Steal.
Here are my times. Any stages not mentioned in the changelog below I spent very little time on one afternoon and can probably be improved by a couple seconds at the very least.
