I generally dont do these but what the heck, i used to terrorize JV and acid back in the day.. discovered this place and decided to at least leave an imprint of my existence here. I see a lot of familiar names for sure. I'll mostly lurk the programming board in hopes of activity anyways. 

My old JV account is here:

PR2 has a number of official contests in which you can compete to earn prestigious prizes! This thread exists to give an overview of all of the contests and to give them a bit more recognition.

What's the weather like in your area right now? Feel free to post whenever as your weather changes

Currently where I am the temperature is too damn high

Its possible to upload the Sountrack of PlatformRacing2 to spotify? (sry for my english)

Heya JV

Used to frequent the original JV back when that was a thing under the name TwoShue. Played PR2 under the same name as well. Had a ton of great times back then with the forum, the ingame chat and the acidchat. I’m just going down memory lane tonight which made me stumble across this site, which I think is a pretty good project, so kudos to whoever made this all happen!

No clue if I’ll be very active on the site, but I joined the discord as well so hopefully I’ll get to talk to yall sometime.

Welcome to Speedrunner of the Week, a contest tailored for the fastest players in Platform Racing 2! We have the racers, the fast racers, and those who are above them all: Speedrunners. Do you have what it takes to become a Speedrunner?

• Each week a new level is given a target time and expert time for contestants to beat. If you complete the target time you get 1 point added onto your total score. If you are super speedy and also manage to complete the expert time you will gain 1 extra point, bringing your total to 2 just from beating the set times.
  
  
• You can also gain points if you place in a podium spot against your competitors: if you set the fastest time that week you will gain 3 points, if you come in with the second fastest time you will get 2 points, and if you set the third fastest time you will get 1 extra point. Make note however, you will only be granted these podium points if you have beaten the target time.
  
  
• Submissions will close on Sunday 12:00AM EDT. Be sure to convert this time into your own timezone if necessary to avoid any late submissions!
  

• Any runs that have been posted after the submission date will not be counted for that week. Please note that Sunday 12:00AM EDT is your deadline and not when I post the "submission's closed" comment on the thread.
  
  
• You are allowed to submit as many runs as necessary; you are not just limited to one.
  
  
• You are not allowed to use any form of hacks or TAS in your submitted run, doing so will get you banned from participating in any further SOTW events.
  
  
• Any form of glitching which wasn't intended by the creator of the level will not be allowed. If you are unsure whether a glitch is allowed or not, feel free to ask me in a thread post or through Discord.
  
  
• You are not allowed to involve multiple players in your speedrun. however, you are allowed to have someone spectate you for any assistance purposes such as recording runs.
  
  
• In the event of a level with 'Super Flying Cowboy Mode' (SFCM): unless the level uses this mode as a hat remover or if the level specifically requires the use of SFCM, all runs that have this mode enabled must be reset. Any runs that have this mode enabled when it's prohibited will be voided.
  
  
• You are only allowed to use up to 195 stat points (Rank 45).
  
  
• You are not allowed to use any hats which may affect the time of the speedrun. Hats which you are allowed to use include: Exp Hat, Kong Hat, Party Hat, Jigg Hat, Thief Hat and the Jellyfish Hat.
  
  
• You are allowed to get the stat advantages from any of the stat blocks around the level.
  
  
• Regarding video submissions, only video submissions which have been posted on this thread will be allowed. I will not be accepting any downloadable files as submissions. Please make sure that in your video you are also showing your in-game stats, as well as a clear video on your ending time.

Rewards

AS OF JUNE 27th 2021, @Tejs AND I ARE DISCUSSING WHAT THE REWARD COULD POTENTIALLY BE STAY TUNED!

Long time no see! Well, not that long, I guess. I've got tons going on IRL, so JV has taken a backseat to those things. Don't worry, everything is fine, it's just completely eaten all of my time and energy. Adulting, amirite?? ?

I'm hoping that, in the second half of the summer, I'll be able to devote some more time to JV/PR2. I'd like to get another major update pushed within the next few months. I'll do my best to keep y'all updated in between it all. Rest assured, I'm not going anywhere and JV isn't going anywhere (RIP original JV, 2006-2015 ??).

Like always, I'm fairly reachable on Discord. You can also use Contact a Mod or the community ambassadors for JV-related inquiries.

Hello! This is the official Level of the Week contest thread for Platform Racing 2!

• The creator of your submission's PR2 username:
  
• Your PR2 username:
  
• What the level name is:
  
• What the level ID is (this one is optional):
  
• When the level was last updated:
  
• What type of level it is:
  
• A description of the level (this one is optional):
  

• If you win Level of the Week, you will be rewarded with the elusive Dog Set! This is the only way you'll be able to obtain this set, so keep trying even if you don't win the week you submitted your level! 
  (Note: You can give this reward to a different account if you'd like!)
  
  

        What the Dog Set looks like:

        

• If you win Level of the Week two(!!) times, you will be rewarded with 1,000,000 EXP! That might help you level up a bit I'd imagine.
  (Note: You can give this reward to a different account, or you can exchange this for a Dog Set on a different account if you'd like!)
  
  
• If you manage to win Level of the Week three or more(!!!) times, you will be rewarded with 5,000,000 EXP with each additional victory and a place on this post's Hall of Fame section! If you manage to do earn this reward, all I gotta say is... you make some pretty good levels. 
  (Note: You can give this reward to a different account, or you can exchange this for a Dog Set on a different account if you'd like!)
  

• If you somehow manage to win Level of the Week five(!!!!!) times, you will be rewarded with a permanent Artifact Hat! This reward cannot be claimed more than once per account, so once you have reached five wins, you will not be getting anymore Artifact Hats based on a single account's win count.
  
  What the Permanent Artifact Hat looks like:
  
  
  
  
• If you help submit a winning level (so not your own level, but someone else's), you will be rewarded with the Bubble Set! Thanks for showing off a great level, we appreciate it! 
  (Note: The account listed under "Your PR2 Username" in your submission post will be awarded this prize!)
  
  

        What the Bubble Set looks like:

        

• You must submit your or someone else's level using the format listed in the How It Works section of this post
  
  

• Levels that are created more recently have a more likely chance of winning since we want to highlight levels that utilize newer features. However, levels made prior to this contest starting up again can win too.
  
  

• You cannot submit trap, frustration, unfinished, or troll/empty submission levels unless specified in a submission theme for a given week (example of troll levels: Just drawing an egg plant in a level containing no blocks and no way of finishing).
  
  
• You must submit your level before Friday at 6 PM CT.
  
  
• You can submit up to 1 level per week.
  
  
• The levels must be submitted on JV via this thread OR the Level of the Week thread on the Jiggmin's Village Discord. That way I can sort out which levels the judges play in an easier fashion.
  
  
• Submission changes must be made up by Friday at 3 PM CT. If you'd like to change your submission, please make a post stating what the level you made before was and then what your new submission is now while still following the submission format. Making changes to your submissions after this time will move your submission from that current week's list to next week's list.
  
  
• The submission has to be an original and finished submission. Copied levels will not be accepted and will eventually lead to a banning from the contest and your prizes revoked if given any.
  
  
• If you win this iteration of Level of the Week, you must wait a week before you can win again. (You can still submit a different level from a different creator during this time period however.) The same level cannot win twice.
  
  
• The account you submit must have been online in the last year in order to be eligible to win.
  
  
  
  

• dying to ask a question related to Level of the Week
  
  
• interested in judging for Level of the Week (there are complications to this if you're chosen as a judge, which will be discussed)
  
  
• interested in submitting a Level of the Week banner that can be used for this thread
  
  
• interested in making suggestions for the actual Level of the Week contest (related to the thread not levels)
  
  
• interested in suggesting or talking about anything else
