World 2 was bad I lost 20 seconds to Jano and died on Prickly Passage revisit from a bad loop skip pixel. World 3 was good, aside from a small death in Mega Havoc 3. Finally, World 4 was pretty good even with some small nerves going for the optimal strats in Razor Slide, Mega Havoc 4, and Lum Challenge, unfortunately I lost some time and 1:21:xx to Final Boss RNG.

Congratulations on reclaiming the world record, Payman! It's evident that your dedication and hard work paid off. It's a really strong run, especially for Pirate Stronghold.

Now time to turn to Any%, maybe 58:XX?

World 3 was okay but I did lose some time in the first 2 levels of the world, also I could've done some faster strats in other levels. World 4 was bad, I died in Creeping Chaos section 1 to missing a damage boost and Razor Slide section 1 to messing up an A press, also Final Boss RNG strikes again giving me a terrible seed that costed me 58.

So close! Too bad for those two deaths and the final boss.

World 3 was great with adding some more optimal movement here and there. World 4 was really good, aside from some hiccups in Boss 4, Mettleworks, and Final Boss RNG. This can still be improved by 10ish seconds but right now I'm taking a small break from the game and moving onto others.

Finally, you got that 58! GG Payman.

I still find it weird that this Java ME version is bundled with the GBA version in one topic...

World 3 was alright, except for Underlands 2 lost about 15ish seconds to shenanigans. Revisiting world 2 was bad, I died in Prickly Passage revisit and lost about 30s. World 4 was meh, I played it safe on some levels, had a bad boss 4, got scammed from a cage in Razor Slide, and got bad RNG on the Final Boss bombs as usual. Overall, this run show the potential of how far 100% can be pushed to its limits and I plan to grind more of this in the future.

GG! Reading all these World 1, World 2, World 3 and so on, I thought I was gonna watch a Mario speedrun.

Yeah, I think Fiesta Run is the only Rayman game not to have properly named worlds, even though they're not clearly delimited and instead inferred from the game files' folder structure. Thankfully, it's not the case for Rayman 3 on the Game Boy Advance.

I do find how worlds work in fiesta run very odd, it took me a while for me to process it

Anyway, I’ve said this on almost every other speedrun topic, but I could actually upload a run here!

Why is the mobile phone version in the GBA category?

Good question. But I'm glad it is. Because looking at the three runs, it becomes obvious that the game runs at different speeds for all runners. Just compare the third and second, then the second and first place as soon as they land on the floating flowers in Level 6. The game runs faster for the second place and way faster for the first place.
I'll create a new forum thread on src and try to investigate a little.

Edit: I've tested out many different variants by now. They have different FPS caps: 13, 17/18, 23, 25, 29, 31/32, 33, 39/40, 40, 50, uncapped. So it makes sense that the game runs at different speeds for different runners. As of now, there are no rules regarding which variant is fine to use. To me, the 25 FPS variants felt best. On the other hand, I hope that at least the uncapped variants will end up being banned for emu, moving forward.
