Overview
This page covers some of the information about doing Coop runs for categories such as All Main Courses (AMC) and All Courses (AC).
Timing Runs
As of 1.12, SAR and LiveSplit is now accurate for coop speedruns. When running coop, start recording your demos during the opening cutscene, and recording should carry over from level-to-level automatically. Ensure you do not run the stop command until the end of the run's cutscene starts and the timer stops.
