Hey everyone, Buzz and I talked about this a couple of months ago and just recently decided to put it into action.
What is this?
A world record rampage, just like the MBP and MBG ones. Except the levels will be Buzzmusic's! He has over 90 beautiful landscapes for you all to demolish with your super duper speedrunning skills.
Overlook - READ CAREFULLY IF YOU PLAN TO RECORD
Naturally, by now, all of Buzz's levels have World Records. Unfortunately, Buzz hasn't kept track of the WRs on his levels ( ) and so thus they've become utterly scattered. Some posted only on obscure forum threads, some up front on big threads and rivaled by others` posts, many thrown around YouTube without the runner even realizing they're posting a WR.
The point of this is, I'd like for you all to try your best with the WRs - if you find a level everybody else hates, score a WR easily, and be done with it, when you could improve by 12 seconds, that's not good. There could quite easily be a better time than yours out there somewhere. So please, folks, do the best you can.
This is not to discourage you from posting weaker times earlier on, and then proceeding to optimize a bit later.
On that note I will be accepting the lowest time gotten on each level - even if the WR is known to be better. I will, however, not be a happy Frostfire and may take to the level myself to beat your time, as we're looking for true WRs and not flimsy times that will sit on #1 for the WRR and then be toppled off instantly.
On another subject, the actual collecting of World Records, you will find a list of achieved ones in the post below (by me). I'll talk about that in that post.
About your recordings, you can download any levels that strike your interest from Buzz's Level Topic, which can be found HERE . Don't forget - 8-BIT will not be allowed as it requires a large marble.
As for your marbles, we can't have two runners (or rollers if you want to add some cheesy humor to it) with the same marble! So therefore, my third post on this thread will be for reserving your marbles! First come, first serve, though if you don't post a WR within two weeks of reserving your marble others can take it.
A COUPLE OF THINGS TO NOTE
There is no current Time Frame. The official deadline will come later.
Ctrl-p Restart Glitch is NOT ALLOWED.
(if you find one not listed here ask before recording!)
HOW TO POST A WR
Please use the proper format to post your World Record! All five parts of the format are IMPORTANT and cannot be omitted!
Name: Frostfire (use of full names incorporated will be accepted, such as "Bob 'chicken101' Smith")
Level: Safe Platforms
Time: 10.60
Once you've posted that to this thread, EMAIL the .rec (AND .inf !) to the team. Read below to find out who to send to.
RULES - READ CAREFULLY IF YOU PLAN TO RECORD
There is a simple set of rules you MUST FOLLOW if you want your video in the rampage! I don't care if you get a 1.xx on Buzz's longest level, it will NOT be accepted unless the rules are followed.
Rules on Recording

IN GAME OPTIONS
There are a few picky in-game options that need to be set properly, or else the final video will look terribly ugly and distorted. Please make sure these seven options are set at the following before recording:
Screen Resolution: 1024 x 768
Screen Style: Full Screen
