message: I found a circular link in the second paragraph of Lying about times. I think the link can just be removed:  
In 2017, a speedrunner named Eric "Omnigamer" Koziel disassembled the game's code and concluded that the fastest possible time was 5.57 seconds. PigBepsiRS (talk) 22:41, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

message: Should the Mario Kart games and their significant presence with speedrunning be mentioned in this article if it hasn't been done already? NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 14:31, 15 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: If reliable sources identify their significance then yes, but I'm not sure that's the case. ~Bluecrystal004 (talk · contribs) 15:29, 15 December 2023 (UTC)

replies: text: It's just my intuition as someone who speedruns a couple of them, but a quick Google throws up some news results about Mario Kart 64 which may be noteworthy. ~Bluecrystal004 (talk · contribs) 02:23, 17 December 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Well, I guess I kinda feel the same. I don't have MK64, but I do time trial MKW a decent bit and MK7 from time to time. NintendoTTTEfan2005 (talk) 02:25, 17 December 2023 (UTC)

message: I feel that the term "speedrun" has outgrown simply gaming. I have seen many instances of the term being used in a context outside of videogames. This would be a massive overhaul to the page so take your time but I beleive the deffinition at least should be broadened.  () 02:40, 19 February 2024 (UTC)
replies: text: - Wiktionary already has a definition to accommodate this at its entry for speedrun, but the broadening of the term is still in reference to the same activity, and the only encyclopedic topic is still the gaming one. ~Bluecrystal004 (talk · contribs) 16:04, 1 March 2024 (UTC)
thread_title:  Definition too narrow 

message: I suggest adding to the 'History' section: 
However, according to Sacha Bernard, it would appear that the term 'speedrun', understood as ' speed-based videogame performance ', originated with the game Radar Rat Race published in 1981 by HAL Laboratory.
