+WarioWare Inc. Mega Microgame$! FAQ
 
 Q: What are you playing on, it is emulator?
 A: No, I play on a Gamecube through a Gameboy Player using a Gameboy SP as a controller.
 
-Q: So does this run have glitches in it?
+Q: What is with all the resetting?
-A: Yes
+A: The resetting is the save time in the menus by skipping cutscenes. Basically every time you beat a boss, you reset to go back to the menu faster. Then enter the game, and reset again the skip the "loading" cutscene where it updates that you just beat a boss. Enter a new level, then reset again to skip the cutscene that level has, then go back in and actually start the level.
 
-Q: When do they show up/what are they?
+Q: So how do you go fast in this game?
-A: After I beat Bugsy I do some regular cloning of Croconaw. This is to setup Bad cloning later (and also makes Rival 2 much easier). Once I get to the daycare I will attempt to make a bad clone. This is a frame perfect trick (and also very random whether that frame even exists) and is basically the entire run. Once I have a Bad Clone I will do a really long elaborate setup with it, that will allow me to first underflow my items in the Ball Pocket, and then Execute Arbitrary Code.
+A: As mentioned above, menuing plays a part. In terms of the actual gameplay, the minigames don't have an effect whether you win or lose, you still have to wait for the timer to run out. However the bosses all have some element of execution to them, and a fair few have RNG elements to them as well. So going fast on them is key.
 
-Q: What is a Bad Clone?
+There's also another element of luck that plays a part in the Jimmy 3 stage, as his secondary stages are mashup stages of the stages before them, so what minigames you get can determine how fast they finish. Orbulon minigames take way, way longer than any other stage, so getting a lesser amount of those on Jimmy 3 saves a lot of time
-A: A Bad Clone is what it sounds like, a clone that's bad. It's identifiable by having a long ass nickname that looks like this "???????????????????????????" is level 0 (and also the opposite gender) - if it isn't level 0 but has the name it probably means I hit the right frame but the game decided to be mean. If I only get one level 0 it almost certainly won't work, as it is the wrong type of Bad Clone, but if I get 2 level 0s, the second one (and any subsequent one) should work no problem
+
 Q: What's the luck on the bosses?
-Q: Are there any other difference in the run?
+A: For all 3 Jimmy bosses, how long the pause is before he throws another punch is random (These are the biggest ones). For 9-Volt, whether you get fast or slow pitches is random. For Orbulon, whether you get answers that have no cursor movement or not is random. For Wario, where you get the boulders to attack is random.
-A: Minor ones, like not getting slaves, using up all my money, not getting Przcure, and probably having harder fights because my stats will prob be worse, but mostly it's pretty similar.

 Q: What is WR? And why does any% end before the final split?
-Q: Why do you choose Totodile?
+A: http://www.speedrun.com/wwi
-A: Because the Totodile evolution family is the best for the speedrun, without it, my time would not be nearly as fast.
+Basically, the category "All Stages" involves doing everything in any% and the 4 stages after it (Easy, Thrilling, Hard, All Bosses). It's far less optimised/competitive though, I just figure I may as well do runs for that whenever I finish an any% run.
 
-Q: Do you really need to use Totodile specifically, couldn't you use some other Pokemon?
+The any% one is the one I'm really going for, need another 2 seconds which may not seem like a lot, but it'll take a very good run to get those 2 seconds.
-A: Yes. Yes I do. Otherwise I will not challenge the World Record.
+I've already got the best All Stages time, but I want a deathless run of that, which would be under 41 minutes.
 
-Q: What stats are good and what stats are bad?
+Q: What is with those split icons? What does A and C mean?
-A: I don't actually check my stats in this run, since it's a lot shorter they are a lot less relevant. Honestly I'll only reset if they are absolutely horrible and my encounter rate at the start is awful. I'll look at 6, 14 Attack is really good, special attack being 11 would be nice too (12s are fantastic), speed being 11 is a nice bonus, as is defence being 14.
+A: This is a grading system for all of my splits. I'm sure you are familiar with grades, A+ being the best then going down from there. So the idea is, if the split has an A+ next to it, my time there was really good and would be very difficult to beat. If it's a C though for example, it was quite poor, and I should be able to save time there pretty easily.
 
-Q: You didn't even get to his stats, why did you reset?
+This way, everyone watching has more accurate information on where I can save time, and where I should be making up time. Also that all time loss is not equal, as losing time vs an A+ split isn't really that bad, whereas losing time vs a C split is really bad. It'll probably take a while for a lot of people watching to pick up the meaning so I will appreciate everyone who explains how this works (correctly) in chat to new people.
