| 1 | Since, in the speedrunning community, the term "World Record" is purely subjective instead of simply meaning "the best in the world" like it does literally everywhere else, I've decided to compile a list of "world record" terminology to help clear up any ambiguity people might experience. | |
| 2 | ||
| 3 | THE World Record: | |
| 4 | The World Record on the most popular version of a game, regardless of whether or not a faster/more optimized run on another | |
| 5 | version exists. | |
| 6 | ||
| 7 | Global World Record: | |
| 8 | Similar to THE World Record, only this one simultaneously clears up any confusion as to whether or not the world is in fact | |
| 9 | spherical. | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | Supreme World Record Holder: | |
| 12 | An individual with so many world records that they can use their starpower to strong arm leaderboard admins into doing their | |
| 13 | bidding. | |

| 15 | World Record(Bopped Japan fo free BITCH!): | |
| 16 | - | The world record in the most popular category of a game, despite the fact that "any%" runs which utilized things like save |
| 16 | + | A world record where the previous record was held by a resident of the country of Japan. "Bopping Japan" is traditionally done |
| 17 | - | corruption/out of bounds that are minutes faster exist |
| 17 | + | by no more than 1 full second. |
| 18 | ||
| 19 | Any% World Record: | |
| 20 | The world record in the most popular category of a game, even if there are "any%" runs which utilized things like save | |
| 21 | corruption and out of bounds that are minutes faster. | |
| 22 | ||
| 23 | Glitchless World Record: | |
| 24 | A world record that forgoes the abuse of programming errors in the game. A common side effect of setting a glitchless world | |
| 25 | record is getting banned from speedrunslive. | |
| 26 | ||
| 27 | - | A good meme. |
| 27 | + | |
| 28 | A world record suitable for elementary school students to attain. | |
| 29 | ||
| 30 | - | A world record suitable for elementary school students to try and attain. |
