It seems someone did a run of this game about a year ago where they went through all levels required for All Stars, but didn't start from a fresh save. (I had to reject their run unfortunately) So I think we should look into either changing the rules or creating a new category to accommodate this type of run.

I would prefer to make a new category to be honest. I think starting from a fresh saves makes a lot of sense in a speedrun setting, so I'd like to keep the current category as is. I don't see any problem with adding a new category however. I think the run is different enough that it would be justified.

It would be like a New Game+ category, since you don't have to deal with cut-scenes and you also avoid most of the "New Best" screens. I guess we could call it "All Stars - No New Save" or something along those lines. I don't think it makes sense to actually call it New Game+ since the game doesn't really have a mode for that.

As far as rules go I guess it would be almost the same as the current rules for All Star only that timing should start on entering the first level and that you are not required to start from a fresh/empty save.

Those are just my opinions anyway. Love to hear what others think about this before we make any changes.

Yeah i could make it but it whould have to be a misc. since it's pretty much the same run but without the cutscenes and other little things that might be annoying

But still a lot of reasons to do so because what you are proposing is a category of where you have to complete a already completed game besides i'm sure whoever submited that run won't mind adapting to the current rules tho i am sorry for his lost run

But well i'll leave this to you you'll decide the fate of this suposse category but the misc. part is obviously a must

Sounds good ^^ And yeah, I agree on having it me a misc category. So I'll just go ahead and set it up then.
