Super Dodgeball Brawlers in

Super Dodgeball Brawlers is a 2008 Kunio-kun sports game. It features a Tournament "story" campaign, which this video shows being completed in its Easy Mode entirety, in as little time as possible.

This video is the result of almost two weeks of labbing and speedrunning. I optimized the strategies and execution as much as I could during that time, though I'm sure some new ideas and better luck could make a big difference. There's certainly still more time to save!

FAQ:

Q - What platform are you playing on?
A - Nintendo DS emulator - desmume 0.9.11. I own the game; the emulation is just for ease of capture.

Q - What controller are you using?
A - A blue Nintendo Switch Hori controller - the USB works for holistic PC use as well.

Q - Why don't you do [insert idea here] instead?
A - Good question! I seem to be the first person to record speedrun attempts of this game, and I'm not sure how many stones are left unturned! I'd be happy to have more of those possible stones pointed out to me.

Q - What's the point of this?
A - Speedrunning is a fun and extremely challenging way of adding replay value to your all-time favorite games, or any game at all! The first time I tried speedrunning River City Ransom EX (GBA) in 2015, no speedruns existed on the official speedrun.com leaderboards, so I had to create the page myself. I left it for years and forgot all about it. Then Redd92 beat my world record, and once I found out, I felt a brand new competitive fire! It motivated me to create entirely new routes for categories in that game, so I could experience new challenges with one of my favorite games ever. It's been indescribable fun, and triumphing over the game after it beats you down feels absolutely otherwordly. River City Ransom (NES) also has a lot of speedrunning history, so climbing the ranks in that game felt incredibly special, especially because it was the first video game I ever played.
