Full game runs are timed by RTA. They have two different categories: Main Game and the Document of MGS2. The former can be done with individual characters or all of them.
\\
\\
Runs are of two types:
\\
  ***Any%**: Finishing each mission as fast as possible.\\
  ***S-Rank**: Beat the default top score, have no kills, no alerts, no rations used and no continues.\\
Explanation of S-Rank terminology:\\
  ***DEFAULT TOP SCORE** = The default score for each level that appears on a new save file. You may play on an pre-made save file, but keep the top default score in mind.
  ***KILLS** = A kill is counted if a guard dies to lethal weapons, chokes, falling off a rail, etc.
  ***RATIONS** = A ration is considered used if one is consumed. Picking up rations does NOT matter.
  ***CONTINUES** = A continue is counted if a game-over screen appears. Even if the player clicks EXIT and then re-selects the level, it still counts. Pausing and selecting RESET is allowed!
\\
Tip: Having a pre-made save file that has a unrealistically optainable score can save a second or so at the end of every level. See the Resources page for a pre-made MGSR Savefile for PC that can help you with this.
For S-Rank runs, you still have to keep in mind what the original top default scores were!
\\

The following includes various strategies useful for full-game runs (either Any% or S-Rank). While technically, the IL strategies would produce better times for the vast majority of levels, they are not always the most realistic in a Single Segment setting for a full-game run.
