  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.
  14.  
  15. Any% World Record:
  16. The world record in the most popular category of a game, despite the fact that "any%" runs which utilized things like save
  17. corruption/out of bounds that are minutes faster exist
  18.  
  19. Glitchless World Record:
  20. A world record that forgoes the abuse of programming errors in the game. A common side effect of setting a glitchless world
  21. record is getting banned from speedrunslive.
  22.  
  23. Console World Record:
  24. A bad speedrun.
  25.  
  26. Controller World Record:
  27. A good meme.
  28.  
  29. Easy Mode World Record:
  30. A world record suitable for elementary school students to try and attain.
