LOL!Up (Wii/PS3/X360) - A Voice in the Mist Skiphoongoons vid dump channel2026-05-19 | this is the biggest skip this game has at all. most of the other stuff were tiny little timesaves but this pretty much saves 4 minutes. does a death respawn warp to have carl (SPECIFICALLY CARL) go up to the top and hit the checkpoint where the house is supposed to be on the log to get right to the end of the level. sucks on wii because theres no autosave prompt showing up so its harder to tell if you got it or notUp (Wii/PS3/X360) - Paradise Falls Area 1 Skiphoongoons vid dump channel2026-05-19 | does a death respawn warp to get up to the checkpoint right above spawn. saves 30 seconds. three things: - that quit out and continue in the beginning to skip the cutscene only saves 1 second. doesnt save time on wii or ps3 - quitting out and re-entering would also lose time on wii/ps3. not really any way to properly death abuse either cuz russell is stuck - this only saves 30 seconds. its just better to go do the normal routeWALL-E (PS3/X360) - Directive End Level Triggerhoongoons vid dump channel2026-05-01 | confirmation of the trigger being hittable when not in the end tunnel section goes to @BeanMKW, setup to get to it found by me. this is probably run viable, it's pretty much the same as time together's ultimate skip. skips out on the aiming tutorial and hitting the checkpoint for final tunnel. saves more time on ps3 because it was slow to quit out and re-enter in the level. now 2/3 eve levels are the same!WALL-E (PS3/X360) - Life on the Axiom Part 3 Keycard Skip with Respawn High Jumphoongoons vid dump channel2026-04-30 | this is something that i thought wasnt possible but managed to get it when messing around, so thats cool. gets rid of voldemort boost. includes attempt on wii at the end but couldnt get it, just put PS3/X360 in title for right now.Saints Row: The Third - Infinite Bonuses Glitchhoongoons vid dump channel2026-04-22 | Original Video: youtube.com/watch?v=uHFYkLpBxBI&pp=0gcJCcMKAYcqIYzv
Few more notes: - Technically this is an "infinite upgrades glitch" however doing this with literally any normal upgrade does not matter and will not change a single thing either, the only use is for the bonuses section of the upgrades menu - For 100% DLC, you can also use both Swap Cash for Respect and City Takeover at the same time, this video only just shows the first for Any% DLC and the second for 100% DLC, but it really just depends on where you're at.[WR] LittleBigPlanet 2 - Any% Speedrun in 17:38 LRT (20:06 RTA)hoongoons vid dump channel2026-04-14 | second any% run completed with sackman, first to do it with the proper load remover now that i got it fixed up. this run was good outside gripple grapple and bravery test (the two most important levels in the run), but the main thing was just to show off the memory based load remover within a program me and metra (at the time of writing) are making called sackman which interfaces with the games on real (modified) hardware, so now we finally have proper load definitions for these games! still needs work, and is not board legal yet, but this run will be there for when it will be board legal and thats what im okay with. even then, with the manual retiming rules for loadless, this is still record.Saints Row: The Third (X360) - Proof of Concept Load Remover for Consolehoongoons vid dump channel2026-04-07 | sooooooooooo this is a fun one! i might genuinely be the first person to make a load remover for an xbox 360 game AND have it work on real hardware! unfortunately, i dont know how to implement it into livesplit just yet, so im just running it off the command prompt. special thanks to mobcat for their python library to interface with xbdm, as this was the entire backbone for this, i also hacked together this from the gta 4 cheat sample script they included. here's a link to the library here (github.com/MobCat/xbdm.py)
why did i do this? well every version BUT the pc version has an exclusive skip which skips out on the rest of the kinzie guardian angel activity. unfortunately, console runs are timed via rta AND on the same board as pc (which uses loadless), so you're not really getting much out of it. again, proof of concept, i dont expect this to be leaderboard official but it would be kinda cool. would also have to look into ps3 as well, as i think that one can be emulated way better than the x360 version can.Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion XL - Ben 10 2 Any% Autoscroller Skiphoongoons vid dump channel2026-03-26 | requires buttercup pte, needs cube farming before minecart (second half of cubes are gotten from minecart section) so we cant do the first fight skip. saves 50 seconds[WR] Cartoon Network: Punch Time Explosion XL - Story Mode (Hard) Speedrun in 1:01:16hoongoons vid dump channel2026-03-26 | couldve gotten sub hour but i lost a lot of time in fosters.

Q: Why are there no cutscenes in this run? A: I'm playing on a modded version with the ONLY modification being the fact that the cutscenes no longer exist. This is because they are (currently) unskippable on a new game file, and it is solely for quality of life for the runner and the viewers. The time of all the cutscenes are added back up to compare to the vanilla game, so no advantage is gained. Q: What is this specific tech you're doing in this run within Springfield? A: This is called Position Storage, and the main and fastest use of it is exclusive only to the X360 version, as PS3 can't disable autosave so it reacts completely differently. This stores my position of both characters from Springfield hub (and Game Engine) and when you transition into the level you go into, their positions are the same as the hub. Any% is split between No Position Storage and Any% on the leaderboards.LittleBigPlanet 3 - Tuto Tango Underwater Section Skip with CJShoongoons vid dump channel2026-01-09 | CJS stands for Changeling Jump Storage, new tech that was discovered that effectively gives all changelings (including Toggle) a way higher jump.

A: Position Storage is a technique that stores your position from Springfield and Game Engine and applies it into any level you transition into in the hub worlds. The version of the technique used for Any% is only possible on Xbox 360 due to being able to disable autosave, and as such this exists as an Any% for both versions of the game.The Simpsons Game (PS3/X360) - The Land of Chocolate IL Speedrun in 1:49.69hoongoons vid dump channel2025-12-31 | first sub 1:50 LMFAO. i had a run before this (1:50.68) and it beat out the oldest IL record in the game. i was always wondering why i could never match my previous record and then it hit me. it was cause i was no longer spamming double jumping everywhere. spamming double jump is the fastest form of base movement and is the only option homer has for this level, so here its the best example of what it does.[FWR] The Simpsons Game (PS3/X360) - Any% Speedrun in 1:31:51hoongoons vid dump channel2025-12-30 | QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS TIME!

the basis is using young ben (yen for short) as the movement, captain planet is there for the first arena skip and the out of bounds needed for the autoscroller skip, and lastly monkey is used for the infinite jump chain with planet to get the height needed to skip the autoscroller and also for the combat at the endThe Simpsons Game (PS3/X360) - Five Characters in Search of an Author IL Speedrun in 0:44.21hoongoons vid dump channel2025-11-27 | previous IL record was 1:29, this entirely skips out the second section thanks to a debug trigger that just exists and ends the level.

NOT SUB 30 THO WHO GAFRatatouille (Jan 18, 2006 Prototype) - Rooftops IL Speedrun in 0:33.700hoongoons vid dump channel2025-11-11 | funny meme. figured out how to get rat proto working again on dolphin (had to downgrade to stable 2412) and thought id crank this out. the new discovery is trampoline storage, where by punching and going over a trampoline, it lets me store the bounce and when i stop sprinting and jump it gives me the bounce. the ending skip is incredibly tight but i managed to get everything fine
timing starts on gaining control (first frame i move since i start moving immediately) and timing ends on first frame of ending cutscene[WR] Leisure Suit Larry: Box Office Bust - Any% Speedrun in 2:50:32hoongoons vid dump channel2025-10-31 | On July 11th, 2023, for some reason I was in a voice call with renowned speedrunners (also known as my friends) NorXor and Retrowavey when at 4 in the morning I agreed to run this game for my next speedgame. A few days later, on the 17th, I had a run that was easy sub 3 pace but it ended up dying to the third to last mission due to the ladder not working and making me rage quit. It demotivated me from doing runs, but 2 years later, I decided to pick it back up again. Today, on Halloween 2025, I have now officially become the first to beat this game in under 3 hours.
Anyway, for the run itself, it's unexplored. I am only the third runner of this game and I took time to actually strat hunt. It's a weird mishmash of genres put into this game, but at it's heart it's a 3d platformer that also happens to be a GTA clone. Because of this, Larry has a very diverse moveset which lets me do some interesting stuff. The biggest timesaves over a casual playthrough would have to be skipping whatever it is you do in the barn in "The Not So Great Escape?", the schmovement in "Children of the Maize", and "Crane Man" and "Icebergs Ahead!" skip. The rest just happen to be good movement and good RNG.
As for this particular run, it's not good, but it is sub 3. I can easily shave off 6+ minutes if i wanted to, but to finally get a run done and to fulfill the promise I made, this is what I am happy with for now. Over the coming days, I will be uploading individual videos of strats that I have found. Special thanks to those who supported me on my BOB journey.
Run was performed on the PC version using Windows XP (Service Pack 3) compatibility mode (to fix the game freezing, turning non responsive, and crashing) and with a DualShock 1 controller. I used my keyboard during "Cabin Creeper" to slow walk by holding down Q.SpongeBobs Truth or Square - Spongecraft (Mod) Speedrun in 0:39.000hoongoons vid dump channel2025-09-29 | (Mod made by CorruptMem) This is a mod that was released for the Heavy Iron Modding Community Challenges, the theme for this one was Maze. This is the first ever mod for Truth or Square to be released, and I have to say it's pretty damn good. It was nice seeing what this engine could do as it's pretty much uncharted territory compared to the older games. Big recommendation for playing this mod as this doesn't show it justice, it just shows that even in the virtual world, you can still hop over the maze walls.
Timing for this run started whenever the pause menu was fully off screen when closing (I had to change my controls to Wii Classic Controller), and timing ended when the transition to the cutscene started whenever I reached the ending platform. Credits are not included in the time, I just included them because I think it was necessary.

This was entirely trial and error. This exploits a version of position storage that's only possible if you have autosave on, because when you are on a file that can save, you quit out to the menu when exiting. From there, you are able to go to any level you have unlocked and you can get the position storage effects there, which will include the first level. The time at the newspaper is actually the last time you beat the level plus the time spent from playing it again in this state, so I subtracted the final time (2:41.65) by my best (2:02.39) to get the final time with this.
