A/V good, no cheating detected

Well this game was certainly good for a chuckle or two, especially having the kid fall from what appears to be cruising altitude for a passenger jet to save time. The run itself and routing seem quite solid, and I'm certainly willing to believe that this game doesn't have the best controls. Pulling a 180 at the start of the Sky Fortress 1-type levels might save a small amount of time, but that seems to be about it. Accept

SPEEDruns not SAFEruns

AUDIO/VISUAL
Good, although I've always hated the SFX when you do combos in this game Angry

CHEATING
None

GAMEPLAY
Poor controls were mentioned earlier, and they are typical for this genre of game. I'm glad this one got a run finally, and it's pretty good. Feel like there was some small sections of wasted time with possibly excessive grinding etc. but this is by no means even close to being a reject. The run was well done and if someone were to beat it they would have to know the levels well - getting all 30 wheels consistently is a larger pain than it appears here.

Accept

As someone who has both played the game and spent time watching the runner play it, I can say that this game is much harder than it looks, especially when it comes to speedrunning it. The controls are really bad and some of the goals can be a pain in the ass to complete even if you're playing casually, mostly because of the controls but also because you have a pretty limited time to screw around with. Nevertheless, this run is really good and I don't think that it can be improved that much, at least not with the current strats.

A/V is okay, and I know for a fact that no cheats where used, therfore I'm going to Accept this run.

I'll try to let my hatred for scooter kids that have a tendency to hang around ramps that others are skating to get in the way of my of my choice here.

Gameplay looks really good despite how bad the controls are, the routing looks very good, A/V looks fine. I can't see any signs of cheating. I accept this run.
