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

[@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
