In late 2021 and early 2022, a TikTok account by the name of [https://www.tiktok.com/@lexakt_ lexakt_] was posting short videos about Subway Surfers and the placement of Brazilian speedrunners. Her videos got popular in a short amount of time, helping not only her channel grow, but also the Subway Surfers game leaderboard on speedrun.com. In August of 2020, a total of 86 players submitted times to the Subway Surfers leaderboard.

Most runners in 2022 were Brazilian, wich influenced the community at the time causing the games rules to be translated into Portugeese. Because of the language barriers from the runners and mostly english speaking moderators, channels in the official Subway Surfers Speedrunning Discord Server were also newley created and translated to Portugeese for Brazilian runners. Because of the mostly english speaking mod team, new moderators fluent in Portugueese were recruited to not only help verify runs, but help Brazilian runners with problems they had. Brazilian runners in Subay Surfers died down slowly in late 2022 and early 2023.

Because of the sheer amount of people submitting to the leaderboards, a priority que was made on July 21st, 2022. This was meant for runners who wanted to get their runs verified faster. They would just need to ask a current moderator to verify their run by sending them their speedrun.com run link. For spam measurements, you would've been required to wait at least two months to put your run in the priority que.
On September 2nd, 2022, every category on the speedrun.com page was split between Mobile and Web runs. The mod team decided to split the board for a handful of reasons.
1. FPS - On the Mobile version, the FPS is capped to only 60fps. On the Web version, there is no such cap which leads to less movement delay.
2. Bugs - There are more bugs and glitches found on the Web version than the Mobile version. For example, you could run into a wall for a second and still survive, giving an unfair advantage for No Coins runners.
3. Coin Hitboxes - The coin hitboxes in Mobile are different than the hitboxes on Web.
4. Patterns - There are different patterns between the Mobile and Web versions.
Because of Brazilian runners giving Subway Surfers more popularity on speedrun.com, people from other countries started to run Subway Surfers. People from surrounding countries like Argentina and Chile started running Subway Surfers for a short time. Runners from english speaking countries like the United States and the United Kingdom also started running Subway Surfers at the same time as Brazilian runners.
