I don't remember seeing runs for the HD version, whether on PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360, but then again, why would someone do that to himself?

Splits are a bit messed up but the end time is correct! I know it last place and with old strats but it's a start.

Yeah, the slightly upgraded graphics don't really make up for the audio and visual issues. I'm also not sure that all of the glitches that are used so extensively for scoring and speedrunning still work in that version, which would be make it an entirely different game to run. I would add that there's plenty of patches for the original Rayman 3 that provide much better visuals than Rayman 3 HD, but they're probably not allowed for speedrunning.

He was first already, but he improved his previous run by 24s which is pretty good. It's not a very popular category though, with only three people in the leaderboard at the moment.Congratulations on the first place, Torcnein!

I agree, improving the speedrun by 24 seconds is a good achievement! Thank you for letting me know he was the first in the leaderboard already.

When you're first, even one second is a great achievement!I agree, improving the speedrun by 24 seconds is a good achievement! Thank you for letting me know he was the first in the leaderboard already.

That's true since speedrunning is really hard. I never tried getting into it myself because of that.

It's a great first run if you want to Ray and roll, Scruffaduff.

I agree with Hunch about NMG but it's so long for Rayman 3 compared to Rayman 2.
