Since the community is fairly small, I'm going to suggest we use the Wonder Boy series discord for now. https://discord.gg/sV9ccUa

Hey, I was wondering if there are any resources available for the RNG manipulation as it stands. Not having to start from square 1 in an emulator would make picking this game up much easier. :)

Pretty sure this breaks the current any% route. Money routing is out the window, for sure.

Hey everyone! Since I didn't see one in existence on the other Wonder Boy forums, I went ahead and created a Discord for WB.

A few thoughts here:

1. Easy/Normal/Hard is an obvious delineation
2. Greenalink has made good use of S&Q as a time save. It's a personal thing, but I tend to think of S&Q as something which makes speedruns less interesting, both to run and to watch.

My immediate inclination is to suggest "let's follow what e.g. LTTP did and make NMG categories which also precludes S&Q, and allow S&Q and fish flying in Any%" - this would leave us with Six categories - NMG Easy, Normal, Hard and Any% Easy, Normal Hard.
