@Vynneve Hey thanks! I really appreciate it. I am currently working on bookcase jump and practicing cha 3 pt 1 at the moment. Hopefully I can get HRG down. Thanks!

So i'm not good at HRG yet and I need to practice more, but in the meantime I wanted to atleast finish my first run cause i'm new. So I wanted to know how much time does not doing HRG in pre cha. 3 cost? And also another question, how long would a near perfect beginners route run be 5 hrs? Thanks!

So I was thinking, what if we had a category for leveling up either all your skills or specific skills to 100. So for example the fastest time to get your conjuration to 100.

Just a thought. I think this could be cool. Thanks!

UPDATE: So I have been working hard these last couple days developing a good route for this category (or whatever you call it). I found that some levels will take use of Rocket and Turbo storage. I got a little help on performing a Turbo Storage glitch on Noki 6 from AverageTrey and I think this could work out if I finish my work. I have found a decent route for the levels: Bianco, Ricco, Gelato, Noki, Pinna, and some of Pianta. All I have left is the rest of Pianta and Serena + Corona (if possible) then im done. I will post a full tutorial for the route on youtube and I want to see if I can get this ball rolling :-). Thanks for all the comments so far and be sure to tune in to stay updated. I have had so much fun on stream making my own route because it makes the game feel so new, I am certain that you will feel the same once this is ready. Thanks! ^_^ -Snowy

Alright, thanks for letting me know this. It was still fun discovering it for myself though xD

I see that there isn't many things on this speedrun category page and I am whiling to make it better by adding pictures and more categorys and to approve people's records if you guys are whiling to give me a mod position.

While streaming earlier today, I accidentally came across a glitch in pinna 8 where you can clip into the mountain that the ferris wheel is on and you can walk out of bounds. This obviosly means that you can get to "kug" the hidden unused goomba under pinna park. I have a video on youtube demonstrating how to perform this glitch and if you are interested you should go check it out. Also, if this specific glitch has been found before. Please tell me so I can give the person who first discovered it credit. But I did research and as far as I know, I am the person that has discovered it.

EDIT: THANKS TO YOU GUYS FOR LETTING ME KNOW THIS WAS ALREADY DISCOVERED :-)

Thank you and good luck. If this is a good new discovery I want to see if I can show it to MagicScrumpy.

@samgaudreault43 Very true, maybe sometime in the future when me or someone finds the most optimized way (if that happenens) than maybe it would peak more interests in more people. And yes, I will continue this because in the end it really is just having fun right. :-). Thanks for response

@Guggy You would only be allowed to press A on the menus and the episode select (aka level select)

So I was streaming some casual Super Mario Sunshine yesterday when I had a cool idea to make a new category for this community. In this category you are not allowed to jump. Obviously, you all probably have seen the "0x A Button Presses" speedruns for Super Mario 64. But I was thinking we could do a 20 shine speedrun without pressing the A button. Now, I know that some levels are actually impossible to do without pressing the A button so I was thinking as a community we could figure out what shines we could do specifically, so that we could get 20 shines. Here are the rules I put together for this 0x A button presses 20 shine speedrun.

¤Save file that the speedrun takes place on MUST have all episodes unlocked. ¤Timer starts at the start button on the file select menu ¤No A presses at all expect for the save menu and selecting an episode ¤Hover is allowed ¤If the A button is pressed, you MUST restart the run.

UPDATE 4/25/17 I have finished finding what levels are possible and which are not finally, I have gotten a solid route that consists of 27 shines to get in total. I decided to not have shadow mario missions, any episode 8s and the manta storm included from the route just because I want it to have just the main types of levels if you know what I mean. If you guys think I should include any of those that I have excluded please tell me. If you guys want to know the possible levels you can do and are in the current route here is a list of them, if not skip down.

Bianco 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 Gelato 2, 3, 4 Serena 4, 5, 6 Pianta 1, 4, 5 (With Yoshi skip), 6 Ricco 1, 2, 3, 4 5 Pinna 1, 2, 4 Noki 3, 4 ,6 And Corona Mountain is Possible too

If you guys want to try this out for yourselves then you are in luck, because I have been uploading the routes for each one of these levels I just listed, on my YouTube channel which you can find under my profile picture.

To me, it doesn't matter if this is officially approved as a new category, I just enjoyed playing through this awesome game again. It really felt like new to me. This has been a lot of fun, but it really has just started because now I have the whole summer to speedrun my category and I know its going to be a blast, thanks to all who commented on this post, and I hope you have a great day!
