DART Mod for
SpeedRunners 2
DART is a developer-supported mod for SpeedRunners 2: King of Speed. It ports all SpeedRunners 1 characters into SpeedRunners 2 and adds competitive matchmaking, rollback controls, savestates, ghosts and 1:1 replays, challenges, custom characters, skins, trails, overlays and performance options. It runs inside the game every launch, with its own menu and automatic updates.
Latest features: the SpeedRunners 1 character port, custom trails and full-set replays are currently available on DART's TEST channel. How to use the TEST channel. Download cards show the current public release.
One mod, the whole competitive layer
Ranked 1v1 matchmaking
Queue from Discord or the in-game menu. The bot pairs you by ELO, runs the map vote, tracks the set and updates your rank, tier and profile automatically: that is the Competitive League.
Rollback netcode
0-input-delay rollback pinned onto the live Photon Quantum session, with a rollback camera, net-stats overlay, desync watchdog and one-click rollback lobbies. Online play that feels like practice.
Practice tools
Up to 10 savestate slots, 7-step slow-mo plus a 0–200% slider, restart, clear-PB, camera zoom and instant stage quick-load. Every trigger is a hotkey you choose.
Ghosts, replays & solo runs
Every clean practice lap is recorded. Race your own ghost or the world record holder's, watch replays frame by frame, and climb the global boards on all 16 maps for points.
All SR1 characters, skins & trails
All SpeedRunners 1 characters ported into SpeedRunners 2. Add your own sprite or 3D runners, paint skins, import custom trails and share appearances with other DART players.
Tournaments & events in-game
The hub shows the current tournament, the Ranked and League boards and who is streaming. Sign up for a bracket without leaving the game.
Install once. Press Play.
Download and extract
Download the latest DART zip and extract the whole folder somewhere permanent, for example Documents\DART. Do not run it from inside the zip.
Run installer.bat once
Close SpeedRunners 2 (and exit Steam from the tray if the installer asks), then double-click installer.bat. It patches the game once: this takes a few seconds and only ever has to be done one time.
Play from Steam
Launch SpeedRunners 2 normally from Steam. In-game, press F2 to open the DART menu; the "DART" tab also appears in the main-menu bar.
Good to know
- Choose your hotkeys. Menu-open defaults are F2, Insert and Shift+P. Bind practice actions yourself; the replay viewer and freecam also have their own defaults. Existing custom binds take priority.
- Your files are yours. Binds, settings, savestates, skins and challenges live separately from the installer in your DART data folder.
- Clean uninstall. Settings › Maintenance › Uninstall restores the vanilla game files.
- Developer-supported. Over 600 people have trusted DART, with the developers fully aware of it. Bugs and ideas go to the Discord.
Common questions
Is DART safe? Will it get me banned?
DART is a developer supported project that patches the game locally with Mono.Cecil; it does not touch SpeedRunners 2's executeable and does not change your Steam launch options. Over 600 people have trusted DART with the developers fully aware of it. Windows Defender reports the installer clean; some third-party scanners flag any unsigned program that rewrites files in another game's folder, see the troubleshooting section.
Do I need to reinstall DART after every update?
Normally no: DART checks its selected channel for updates on launch and applies them after the game closes. If a Steam game update replaces the patched game assemblies, run the installer again to restore DART.
Does DART work on Linux / Steam Deck?
Yes. Linux support (through Proton) landed in DART 2.6. The F2 menu auto-scales from 720p to 4K, including the Steam Deck.
Where are my settings, binds and savestates stored?
On Windows, in %USERPROFILE%\AppData\LocalLow\tinyBuild LLC\SpeedRunners 2_ King of Speed\DART\ — separate from the installer. This contains your settings, binds, savestates, saved challenges, skins, runners, trails and recordings.
