It's because there are parts of the speedun where there's a maximum amount of time you can take, but taking less time than the maximum doesn't save time in the run overall, it would just involve more waiting

[@elysahatestostudy9364]

Just the fact that you have to coordinate both your own movements as well as Bowser Jr. through *motion controls* just gotta make this one of the most insane games to speedrun oh lord

[@justspheal489]

[@KolMan2000]

The thing about Bowsers Fury speedruns is that it’s pretty much entirely determined by the boss fights. Since the times you fight bowser are all on timers, you can’t beat the game faster than the time it takes to spawn bowser and beat him. All the stuff you do in between just has to be within that time frame but going any faster doesn’t really matter. It’s like with frame rules in SMB, but they’re just way larger frame rules

If you like that part of the run where he goes super fast and bounces off things to get to the shine at around 19:47 . You would LOVE Marble It Up's speedunning scene. There is a lot of that kinda stuff. P.S. I am also biased because I am a top runner of the game (if you call being top 25 in a game with 55 runs, and being in the annual official speedrun competition a top runner)
