They are almost exactly on par with last year.

2015 stats.

2016 stats.

2015 didn't really go crazy until the last day, where there was a massive spike. Same will likely happen here.

Does this year have a games bundle though? Because that added like 200k alone last year.

why don't they just call this a 100% run so people get it.

I believe you have to get dragon coins for 100%. Especial since the gba ver made dragon coins a thing.

It's a power up. It brings you to a bonus level that is far faster than completing the level normally. And then your yoshi is blue until you dump him.

Is that a normal thing in the game? It's been years since I played through the game but I don't ever remember anything like that. If not, it seems weird and funny that there is just some glitch bonus level that you fly to when things ain't right

Yes, it's a normal thing, but it only happens on two levels and that level isn't usually one of them.

It's a normal thing, although there are ways of getting these wings in levels that do not have them normally. Up to and including having it stored in your item box for something like one of the castles.

Trihex did a run of Yoshi's Island at Smash the Record 2015, so that might be why he's not running this year.

Pffft, it's just as much of an event staple as Super Metroid. It's not a good AGDQ without it.

Ahh I just spotted the bonus incentive any% run. I suppose that's something, CarlSagan is cool too.

Also because he's poo poo

I haven't seen him speedrun Yoshi since Mario Maker came out and even before that he was pretty inconsistent, joints begin to rust and APM dips, put our boy out to pasture, he's no speedgamer anymore

I believe you'll find that the lovely RPG is the one with a good run while the lovely RPG runs belong to games that people think aren't lovely (but actually are).
